Emerging roles for RNA polymerase II CTD in Arabidopsis

TLDR
Some of the recent advances in understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling the deposition and recognition of RNAPII CTD marks in plants during the transcriptional cycle are discussed and some intriguing differences between regulatory components characterized in yeast, mammals, and plants are highlighted.

The 'how' and 'where' of plant microRNAs.

TL;DR: The current knowledge on how plant miRNAs are made and degraded, and how they repress target gene expression is summarized to raise awareness that the cell biology of miRNA holds the key to a full understanding of these enigmatic molecules.

Genome-wide analysis of chromatin packing in Arabidopsis thaliana at single-gene resolution

TL;DR: It is found that the repressive H3K27me3 histone mark is overrepresented in the promoter regions of genes that are in conformational linkage over long distances, and a major theme of genome folding in A. thaliana is the formation of structural units that correspond to gene bodies.

Yhh1p/Cft1p directly links poly(A) site recognition and RNA polymerase II transcription termination

TL;DR: In this article, the yeast homologue of the mammalian AAUAAA interacting protein CPSF 160, Yhh1p/Cft1p, was found to be an RNA-binding protein and provided evidence that it participates in poly(A) site recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE 1 Binds Chromatin to Promote Gene Transcription in Response to Hormones and Stresses.

TL;DR: It is reported that AGO1 also binds to the chromatin of active genes and promotes their transcription and suggested that, by binding and facilitating the expression of stimuli-specific genes, AGO 1 may regulate diverse signaling pathways and associated biological processes.

RNA polymerase II activity revealed by GRO-seq and pNET-seq in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: Two approaches, global run-on and native elongating transcript sequencing (initially developed for mammalian cells), are used to determine the transcriptional landscape of Pol II in Arabidopsis and it is demonstrated that these two methods are suitable to study Pol II dynamics in planta.

The Role of Chromatin during Transcription

TL;DR: This Review highlights advances in the understanding of chromatin regulation and discusses how such regulation affects the binding of transcription factors as well as the initiation and elongation steps of transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone H3 methylation by Set2 directs deacetylation of coding regions by Rpd3S to suppress spurious intragenic transcription.

TL;DR: Data indicate that Pol II-associated Set2 methylates H3 providing a transcriptional memory which signals for deacetylation of ORFs by Rpd3S, which erases transcription elongation-associated acetylation to suppress intragenic transcription initiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted Recruitment of Set1 Histone Methylase by Elongating Pol II Provides a Localized Mark and Memory of Recent Transcriptional Activity

TL;DR: Hypermethylated H3-K4 within the mRNA coding region persists for considerable time after transcriptional inactivation and Set1 dissociation from the chromatin, indicating that H3/K4 hypermethylation provides a molecular memory of recent transcriptional activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different phosphorylated forms of RNA polymerase II and associated mRNA processing factors during transcription

TL;DR: A dynamic association of mRNA processing factors with differently modified forms of the polymerase throughout the transcription cycle is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

The C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II couples mRNA processing to transcription.

TL;DR: It is shown that the carboxy-terminal domain of the pol II large subunit is required for efficient RNA processing, and an association between the CTD and 3′-processing factors suggests that an mRNA 'factory' exists which carries out coupled transcription, splicing and cleavage–polyadenylation of mRNA precursors.
