Close Association of RNA Polymerase II and Many Transcription Factors With Pol III Genes


ABSTRACT: Transcription of the eukaryotic genomes is carried out by three distinct RNA polymerases I, II and III whereby each polymerase is thought to independently transcribe a distinct set of genes. To investigate a possible relationship of RNA polymerases II and III we mapped their in vivo binding sites throughout the human genome using ChIP Seq in two different cell lines, GM12878 and K562 cells. Pol III was found to bind near many known genes as well as several novel genes. RNA-Seq studies indicate that majority of the genes are expressed although a subset are not suggestive of stalling by RNA polymerase III. Pol II was found to bind near many known Pol III genes, including tRNA, U6, HVG, hY and 7SK and novel Pol III genes. Similarly, in vivo binding studies also reveal that a number of transcription factors normally associated with Pol II transcription, including c-Fos, c-Jun and c-Myc, also tightly associate with most Pol III transcribed genes. Inhibition of Pol II activity using ?-amanitin reduced expression of a number of Pol III genes (e.g. U6, hY, HVG), suggesting that Pol II plays an important role in regulating their transcription. These results indicate that, contrary to previous expectations, polymerases can often work with one another to globally coordinate gene expression.
