Clamping down on transcription: repression of archaeal RNAP by the novel viral regulator RIP


ABSTRACT: Little is known about how archaeal viruses perturbate the transcription machinery of their hosts. We provide the first example of a non-DNA binding archaeo-viral transcription factor that directly targets the host RNA polymerase and efficiently represses its activity. We have used cross-linking and mass spectrometry to identify how ORF145 binds in the DNA-binding channel of RNA polymerase.

Little is known about how archaeal viruses perturb the transcription machinery of their hosts. Here we provide the first example of an archaeo-viral transcription factor that directly targets the host RNA polymerase (RNAP) and efficiently represses its activity. ORF145 from the temperate Acidianus two-tailed virus (ATV) forms a high-affinity complex with RNAP by binding inside the DNA-binding channel where it locks the flexible RNAP clamp in one position. This counteracts the formation of transc  ...[more]
