RNAPII CTD dataset

ABSTRACT: The C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is composed of heptapeptide repeats, which play a key regulatory role in gene expression. Using genetic interaction and mRNA expression analysis we found that truncating the CTD resulted in distinct changes to cellular function. Truncating the CTD altered RNAPII occupancy to not only cause decreases, but also increases in mRNA levels. The latter were largely mediated by promoter elements, and in part were linked to the transcription factor Rpn4. The mediator subunit Cdk8 was enriched at promoters of these genes, and its removal not only restored normal mRNA and RNAPII occupancy levels, but also reduced the abnormally high cellular amounts of Rpn4. This suggested a positive role of Cdk8 in relationship to RNAPII, which contrasted wi
