RNAPII: A Specific Target for the Cell Cycle Kinase Complex

  • Conference paper
Plant Promoters and Transcription Factors

Part of the book series: Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation ((RESULTS,volume 20))

Abstract

Transcription in plants, as in other eukaryotes, is catalyzed by three RNA polymerases (RNAPs). Catalytically active forms of RNAPs were first isolated by Roeder and Rutter (1969) and designated as RNAPI(A), II(B) and III(C). RNAPI transcribes rRNA genes, RNAPII synthesizes the precursors of mRNAs and RNAPIII is involved in the transcription of 5S RNA and tRNA genes. In contrast to prokaryotes in which a single RNA polymerase, consisting of ββ’α2 subunits and associated σ factors (Yura and Ishihama 1979; Helmann and Chamberlin 1988), is sufficient for promoter recognition, the assembly of transcriptionally active initiation complexes in eukaryotes requires specific interactions of RNAPs with multiple transcription factors (TFs) and promoter-specific activator proteins. Studies of the regulation of transcription were started by characterization of the subunit composition of RNAPs.
