Domains and residues of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae hnRNP protein Hrp1 important for transcriptional autoregulation and noncoding RNA termination.

ABSTRACT: Proteins that bind the nascent transcript exiting RNA polymerase II can regulate transcription elongation. The essential Saccharomyces cerevisiae hnRNP protein Hrp1 is one such protein and participates in both cleavage and polyadenylation-coupled and Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1-dependent RNA polymerase II termination. Prior evidence that Hrp1 is a positive RNA polymerase II elongation factor suggests that its release from the elongation complex promotes termination. Here we report the effects of deletions and substitutions in Hrp1 on its autoregulation via an Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1-dependent transcription attenuator in the 5'-UTR of its mRNA and on the function of an Hrp1-dependent Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1 terminator in the SNR82 snoRNA gene. Deletion of either of two central RNA recognition motifs or either of the flan
