Many transcription coactivators interact with nuclear receptors in a ligand- and C-terminal transactivation function (AF2)-dependent manner. These include activating signal cointegrator 2 (ASC-2), recently isolated transcriptional coactivator molecule, which is amplified human cancers stimulates by numerous other factors. In this report, we show that ASC-2 belongs to steady-state complex of approximately MDa (ASC-2 [ASCOM]) HeLa nuclei. ASCOM contains retinoblastoma-binding protein RBQ-3,...
Many transcription coactivators interact with nuclear receptors in a ligand- and C-terminal transactivation function (AF2)-dependent manner. We isolated factor (designated ASC-2) such properties by using the ligand-binding domain of retinoid X receptor as bait yeast two-hybrid screening. ASC-2 also interacted other receptors, including retinoic acid receptor, thyroid hormone estrogen α, glucocorticoid basal factors TFIIA TBP, integrators CBP/p300 SRC-1. In transient cotransfections, ASC-2,...

There has been no unequivocal demonstration that the activator binding targets identified in vitro play a key role transcriptional activation vivo. To examine whether activator-Mediator interactions are required for gene transcription under physiological conditions, we performed functional analyses with Mediator components interact specifically natural yeast activators.

Human activating signal cointegrator 1 (hASC-1) was originally isolated as a transcriptional coactivator of nuclear receptors. Here we report that ASC-1 exists steady-state complex associated with three polypeptides, P200, P100, and P50, in HeLa nuclei; stimulates transactivation by serum response factor (SRF), protein (AP-1), κB (NF-κB) through direct binding to SRF, c-Jun, p50, p65; relieves the previously described transrepression between receptors either AP-1 or NF-κB. Interestingly,...
Regulated transcription of class II genes the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae requires diverse functions mediator complex. In particular, MED6 is essential for activated from many promoters, suggesting that it as a key player in relay activator signals to basal machinery. To identify functional relationship between and other transcriptional regulators, we conducted genetic screen isolate suppressor temperature-sensitive (ts) med6 mutation. We identified an SRB4 allele dominant allele-specific...
The multisubunit Mediator complex of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required for most RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. composed two subcomplexes, the Rgr1 and Srb4 which appear to function in reception activator signals subsequent modulation Pol activity, respectively.

Abstract Nuclear receptor (NR) transactivation involves multiple coactivators, and the molecular basis for how these are functionally integrated needs to be determined fully understand NR action. Activating signal cointegrator-2 (ASC-2), a transcriptional coactivator of many NRs transcription factors, forms steady-state complex, ASCOM (for ASC-2 complex), which contains histone H3-lysine-4 (H3K4) methyltransferase MLL3 or its paralog MLL4. Here, we show that requires functional cross talk...
Ser-5 phosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) C-terminal domain by TFIIH kinase has been implicated in critical steps mRNA synthesis, such as Pol promoter escape and 5'-capping. However, general requirement precise role transcription still remain elusive. Here we use a chemical genetics approach to show that, for majority budding-yeast genes, specific inhibition yeast results dramatic reduction both level phosphorylation. Surprisingly, activity only partially affected density Ser-2...
