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).

Extensive polymerase pausing during Drosophila axis patterning enables high-level and pliable transcription

TL;DR: The global run-on sequencing assay (GRO-seq) is used to map the genome-wide RNA polymerase distribution during early Drosophila embryogenesis, thus providing insights into how genes are regulated, and suggests that polymerase pausing allows plasticity in gene activation throughout embryogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A translation initiation element specific to mRNAs with very short 5'UTR that also regulates transcription.

TL;DR: This work identifies an abundant element located downstream to the TSS up to position +30, which controls both transcription and translation, and names it TISU for Translation Initiator of Short 5′UTR.
Journal ArticleDOI

The New Core Promoter Element XCPE1 (X Core Promoter Element 1) Directs Activator-, Mediator-, and TATA-Binding Protein-Dependent but TFIID-Independent RNA Polymerase II Transcription from TATA-Less Promoters

TL;DR: The findings suggest the possibility of the existence of a TAF1 (TFIID)-independent transcriptional initiation mechanism that may be used by a category of TATA-less promoters in higher eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional substitution for TAF II 250 by a retroposed homolog that is expressed in human spermatogenesis

TL;DR: The observation that TAF1L can functionally replace TAF(II)250 provides experimental support for the hypothesis that during male meiosis, autosomes provide cellular functions usually supplied by the X chromosome in somatic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and Basal Transcription Complex of RNA Polymerase II Core Promoters in the Mammalian Genome: An Overview

TL;DR: TFIID plays a central role in recognizing and binding specific core promoter elements to support creating an environment that facilitates transcription initiation, and is associated with the majority of protein-coding genes within the mammalian genome.
