Disease relevance of POLR2G

 

High impact information on POLR2G

  • Identification of the RNA polymerase II subunit hsRPB7 as a novel target of the von Hippel-Lindau protein [2].
  • In contrast to hsRPB7, hsRPB4 has diverged so that it no longer interacts with yeast RPB7, although it partially complements rpb4- phenotypes in yeast [3].
  • Employing yeast two-hybrid cloning we isolated the seventh largest subunit of human RNA polymerase II (hsRPB7) as a protein that specifically interacts with the amino terminus of EWS [4].
  • Overexpression of recombinant hsRPB7 specifically increased gene activation by EWS-chimeric transcription factors [4].
  • Here, we provide evidence that the Rpb7 subunit of pol II interacts with GAPDH [5].
 

Biological context of POLR2G

 

Associations of POLR2G with chemical compounds

  • This protein, hsRPB7, a subunit of RNA polymerase II, interacts with hRARalpha in the absence of RA and addition of RA disrupts the interaction [8].
 

Physical interactions of POLR2G

  • We have complemented the structural analysis with biochemical studies directed at dissecting the RNA-binding properties of the human Rpb4/Rpb7 complex and that of the homologous E/F complex from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii [9].
 

Regulatory relationships of POLR2G

  • Finally, surprisingly, hsRPB7 RNA in human cells is expressed in a tissue-specific pattern that differs from that of the RNA polymerase II largest subunit, implying a potential regulatory role for hsRPB7 [10].
 

Other interactions of POLR2G

  • We have obtained crystals of the human Rpb4/Rpb7 heterodimer and determined the structure to 2.7 A resolution [9].
  • Analysis of the interaction of the novel RNA polymerase II (pol II) subunit hsRPB4 with its partner hsRPB7 and with pol II [3].
  • Replacement of the EWS portion by hsRPB7 in the oncogenic fusion protein restored the transactivating potential of the chimera [4].
  • Two-hybrid screen identified GAPDH as an Rpb7-binding protein [5].
