Dynamic regulation of murine RNA polymerase III transcription during heat shock stress.

ABSTRACT: Cells respond to many different types of stresses by overhauling gene expression patterns, both at the transcriptional and translational levels. Under heat stress, global transcription and translation are inhibited, while the expression of chaperone proteins is preferentially favored. As the direct link between mRNA transcription and protein translation, transfer RNA (tRNA) expression is intricately regulated during the stress response. Despite extensive research into the heat shock response (HSR), the regulation of tRNA expression by RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcription has yet to be fully elucidated in mammalian cells. Here, we examine the regulation of Pol III transcription during different stages of heat shock stress in mouse embryonic stem cells. We observe that Pol III transcri
