Phosphorylation of human TFAM in mitochondria impairs DNA binding and promotes degradation by the AAA+ Lon protease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TFAM is phosphorylated within its HMG box 1 (HMG1) by cAMP-dependent protein kinase in mitochondria, which provides mechanisms for rapid fine-tuning of TFAM function and abundance in mitochondaria, which are crucial for maintaining and expressing mtDNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of a T7 RNA Polymerase Elongation Complex at 2.9 A Resolution

TL;DR: The crystal structure of a T7 RNA polymerase elongation complex shows that incorporation of an 8-base-pair RNA–DNA hybrid into the active site of the enzyme induces a marked rearrangement of the amino-terminal domain, resulting in a structure that provides elements required for stable transcription elongation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Mitochondrial Transcription Revisited ONLY TFAM AND TFB2M ARE REQUIRED FOR TRANSCRIPTION OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL GENES IN VITRO

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that TFAM and TFB2M act synergistically and increase transcription efficiency 100-200fold as compared with RNA polymerase alone, and that only two essential initiation factors are required to drive transcription of the mitochondrial genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Basis for Substrate Selection by T7 RNA Polymerase

TL;DR: The structure of T7 RNAP elongation complex suggests a novel mechanism, in which the substrate selection occurs prior to the isomerization to the catalytically active conformation, which might be universal for all RNAPs.
