Nascent RNA sequencing reveals distinct features in plant transcription

TL;DR: An extensive catalog of nascent and steady-state transcripts in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings was generated using global nuclear run-on sequencing, 5′GRO-seq, and RNA-seq and published maize data to capture characteristics of plant transcription to provide insight into plant transcription and eukaryotic gene expression as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI

The punctilious RNA polymerase II core promoter.

TL;DR: An expanded view of the core promoter that comprises the classical DNA sequence motifs, sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factors, chromatin signals, and DNA structure is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant synthetic promoters and transcription factors.

TL;DR: The recent advances in synthetic promoters and TFs in plants are reviewed and a speculate on their future is speculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Promoter analysis and prediction in the human genome using sequence-based deep learning models.

TL;DR: This work further develops the deep learning approach that was relatively successful to discriminate short promoter and non-promoter sequences and predicts the exact positions of the TSS inside the genomic sequences testing every possible location.
Journal ArticleDOI

ElemeNT: a computational tool for detecting core promoter elements.

TL;DR: The Elements Navigation Tool (ElemeNT) is a user-friendly web-based, interactive tool for prediction and display of putative core promoter elements and their biologically-relevant combinations, and the CORE database summarizes ElemeNT-predicted core promoter Elements near CAGE and RNA-seq-defined Drosophila melanogaster transcription start sites (TSSs).

TFIID sequence recognition of the initiator and sequences farther downstream in Drosophila class II genes.

TL;DR: Selecting the G/A/T C/TAT/GTG motif demonstrates that sequence-specific interactions downstream of the TATA element contribute to the interaction of TFIID on a wide spectrum of promoters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unique TATA-binding protein-containing complexes and cofactors involved in transcription by RNA polymerases II and III

TL;DR: The results argue for a relationship between downstream interactions and overall promoter strength and the importance of TAFs in determining promoter specificity by different RNA polymerases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testis-specific TAF homologs collaborate to control a tissue-specific transcription program.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the products of the five Drosophila genes encoding testis TAF homologs collaborate in an alternative TAF-containing protein complex to regulate a testis-specific gene expression program in primary spermatocytes required for terminal differentiation of male germ cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A wide variety of DNA sequences can functionally replace a yeast TATA element for transcriptional activation.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that yeast TFIID can stimulate transcription from TATA elements whose sequences differ from the consensus, and they suggest the possibility of alternative factors that may provide a related function for transcriptional activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The basal initiation machinery: beyond the general transcription factors.

TL;DR: A simple model in which basal transcription factors sequentially assembled with RNA Polymerase II to generate a preinitiation complex (PIC) indicates that PIC composition is not universal, but promoter-dependent.
