Factors needed for expression of nearly all Class II promoters
Biochemical Fractionation (R. Roeder, Rockefeller University) led to identification of 6 fractions that contain proteins that permit correct transcription initiation by RNA pol II
These fractions were labeled TF II: A, B, D, E, F, H. (Fraction C as an artefact.)
Of these TFIID, TFIIA and TFIIB bind specific proximal elements (others such as TFIIH bind DNA but are not thought to have strict DNA sequence preference)
TFIID nucleates the assembly of the pre-initation complex (PIC)
GTFs: recognize the core promoter

TFIID
• TFIID is a multiprotein complex: TBP + TAFs– (~10-14 different subunits)
• The subunit responsible for recognizing the TATA box is called ‘TATA-Binding Protein’ (‘TBP’)
• TBP can specifically bind to TATA-boxes on its own
• In vitro TBP is sufficient for “basal” transcription, not for “activated”transcription

TFIIH
• TFIIH is a multiprotein complex required for both transcription and DNA repair
• Human TFIIH is composed of nine polypeptides with a total molecular weight of 460 kDa
• TFIIH contains three ATP-dependent catalytic activities– kinase activity that phosphorylates the CTD (C-terminal domain) of the
largest subunit of Pol II, a – DNA-dependent ATPase– DNA helicase
![Page 19: Transcription Regulation and Gene Expression in Eukaryotes ... FS2008... · Basal Transcription (2) P. Matthias, March 05, 2008.

TFIIH Activities
• TFIIH is responsible for three critical functions in transcription– phosphorylation of the COOH-terminal domain (CTD) of the RPB1
subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)– promoter melting– promoter clearance.
• Two biochemically separable complexes:– core TFIIH– Cdk Activating Kinase (CAK) complex

Properties of TFIIH
• TFIIH alters the mobility of the PIC complex in the presence of ATP

RNAP making short RNAs, its stalled at +10 - +12.
TFIIH causes further DNA unwinding, allowing the bubble to grow and RNAP to go to elongation phase.

TFIIF
• TFIIF binds to RNAPII in solution and facilitates delivery of the polymerase to the TFIID-TFIIB-DNA complex on the promoter
•• Human TFIIF contains two separate subunits
– RAP76– RAP34
• TFIIF is required for entry of TFIIE and TFIIH into the pre-initiation complex
![Page 23: Transcription Regulation and Gene Expression in Eukaryotes ... FS2008... · Basal Transcription (2) P. Matthias, March 05, 2008.

TFIIE
• The general transcription factor TFIIE plays important roles at two distinct but sequential steps– open complex formation– transition from initiation to elongation.
• The large subunit of human TFIIE (TFIIE ) binds to and facilitates the enzymatic functions of TFIIH, but TFIIE also functions independently fromTFIIH
• Human TFIIE consists of two subunits, TFIIEa (57 kDa) and TFIIEb (34 kDa)
• The subunits combine into a α2β2 heterotetramer with a combined molecular mass of 180 kDa
• TFIIE plays essential roles in the regulation of TFIIH activities– CTD kinase and ATPase are positively regulated, DNA helicase activity is
negatively regulated

Polyglutamine Diseases
• Several fatal neurodegenerative diseases are due to expanded polyglutamine tracts present in some proteins
– Includes Huntington’s disease (HD), Kennedy’s disease, spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs)
– The number of CAG repeats is 10 to 34 in normal individuals and 37 to 100 in HD patients
• Progressive loss of motor and cognitive functions due to neuronal degeneration in the central nervous system

Molecular Effects of polyQ Expansions
• Proteins containing expanded polyglutamine tracts form insoluble aggregates and inclusion bodies
• Expanded polyglutamine tracts appear sufficient for the neurotoxic phenotype (i.e., they do not have to be associated with any specific protein!)
• Transcriptional dysregulation detectable before onset of symptoms– Yeast and mouse model systems
• Interaction between expanded polyglutamines and HAT-CREB-binding proteins?

• Abnormal expansion of glutamine repeat in human TBPcauses dominant cerebellar ataxia
