Disease relevance of SPBC36.07

 

High impact information on SPBC36.07

 

Biological context of SPBC36.07

 

Anatomical context of SPBC36.07

  • The distribution of RNA polymerase II and morphological details that could be observed in the extra-nucleolar region of cryofixed cells provided cytological evidence of a peripheral region extending along the nuclear envelope that could correspond to heterochromatin in higher eukaryotes [12].
 

Associations of SPBC36.07 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of SPBC36.07

  • To gain an insight into the roles of subunit 3, the eukaryotic homologue of alpha, temperature-sensitive mutants of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, have been isolated after transformation of the mutagenized rpb3 gene encoding mutant subunit 3 of RNA polymerase II [15].
  • Importantly, Mediator containing the spSrb8/spTrap240/spSrb10/spSrb11 subunits is isolated only in free form, devoid of RNA polymerase II [16].
  • Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9) of fission yeast is an essential ortholog of metazoan positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), which is proposed to coordinate capping and elongation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcripts [17].
  • A notable exception is a 19-bp block, centered 36 nucleotides upstream from the transcriptional start site, in which the two loci match in 15 positions; this motif may represent an RNA polymerase II upstream regulatory element, because related sequences are found preceding fission yeast U1, U2, U4, and U5 snRNA genes [18].
  • In this report, characterization of XPB mutants indicates that its helicase activity is not used for RNA polymerase II promoter opening, which is instead driven by its ATPase activity [19].
