The conserved protein Seb1 drives transcription termination by binding RNA polymerase II and nascent RNA


ABSTRACT: Termination of Pol II transcription is an important step in the transcription cycle and is responsible for dislodgement of polymerase from DNA which leads to the release of a functional transcript. Recent studies have identified key players important for termination and showed a conserved domain that interacts with the phosphorylated C-terminus of Pol II (CTD-Interacting-Domain, CID) to constitute a common feature of these proteins. However, the mechanism by which transcription termination is achieved, is not understood. Using genome-wide methods, we demonstrate that the fission yeast CID protein Seb1 is essential for termination of protein-coding and non-coding genes through interacting with S2-phosphorylated Pol II and nascent RNA. Furthermore, we present the crystal structures of the Seb1 CTD- and RNA-binding modules. Unexpectedly, the latter reveals a novel intertwined two-domain arrangement of a canonical RRM and a second domain. These results provide important insights into the mechanism underlying eukaryotic transcription termination.
