SPT6 is a histone chaperone that tightly binds RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) during transcription elongation. However, its primary role in uncertain. We used targeted protein degradation to rapidly deplete human cells and analyzed defects RNAPII behavior by multi-omics approach mathematical modeling. Our data indicate crucial factor for processivity therefore required the productive of protein-coding genes. Unexpectedly, also has vital termination, as acute depletion induced readthrough...

Abstract The contribution of deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) to β-Catenin stabilization in intestinal stem cells and colorectal cancer (CRC) is poorly understood. Here, by using an unbiassed screen, we discovered that the DUB USP10 stabilizes specifically APC-truncated CRC vitro vivo. Mechanistic studies, including binding together with computational modelling, revealed mediated via unstructured N-terminus outcompeted intact APC, favouring β-catenin degradation. However, binds β-catenin,...

Targeted protein degradation using degrons, such as the mini-Auxin-inducible degron (mAID), has an advantage over genetic silencing/knockout. However, efficiency of sgRNA, homologous recombination, tedious expansion, and screening single clones makes process tagging endogenous proteins long laborious. This protocol describes a practical economical way to obtain AID-tagged CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair (HDR). We use generation endogenously SPT6 in U2OS cells example but...

Transcripts produced by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) are fundamental for cellular responses to environmental changes. It is therefore no surprise that there exist multiple avenues the regulation of this process. To explore mediated RNAPII-interacting proteins, we used a small interfering (siRNA)-based screen systematically evaluate their influence on synthesis. We identified several proteins strongly affected RNAPII activity. evaluated one top hits, SCAF1 (SR-related C-terminal...
