The activity and dynamic nature of TATA-binding protein (TBP) crucial to RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription is under control of the Mot1p and NC2 complexes. Here we show that both TBP regulatory factors play 'hidden' roles in ensuring transcription fidelity by restricting anti-sense non-coding RNA (ncRNA) synthesis. Production of anti-sense ncRNA transcripts is suppressed by Mot1p- and NC2-mediated release of TBP from binding sites at the 3'-end of genes. In this, Mot1p and NC2 collaborate with the Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p (NNS) complex that terminates the synthesis of anti-sense ncRNAs. In several cases anti-sense ncRNA expression interferes with expression of the cognate sense transcript. Our data reveal a novel regulatory mechanism to suppress anti-sense ncRNA expression and pre-initiation complex (PIC) formation at spurious sites.
对RNA聚合酶II介导的转录至关重要的TATA结合蛋白(TBP)的活性和动态性质受Mot1p和NC2复合物的调控。我们在此表明,这两种TBP调节因子在通过限制反义非编码RNA(ncRNA)合成来确保转录保真度方面发挥着“隐藏”作用。Mot1p和NC2介导TBP从基因3'端的结合位点释放,从而抑制反义ncRNA转录本的产生。在此过程中,Mot1p和NC2与终止反义ncRNA合成的Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p(NNS)复合物协同作用。在几种情况下,反义ncRNA的表达会干扰同源正义转录本的表达。我们的数据揭示了一种抑制反义ncRNA表达以及在假位点形成前起始复合物(PIC)的新型调控机制。
