Class-switch recombination (CSR), induced by activation-induced cytidine deaminase, can be divided into two phases: DNA cleavage of the switch (S) regions, and the joining of the cleaved ends of the different S regions. Here, we show that the DSIF complex (Spt4 and Spt5), a transcription elongation ...

The timely termination of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is essential for recycling of this enzyme and preventing transcriptional interference. While 5'-3' exonuclease Xrn2 is known to degrade nascent RNA after poly(A) site cleavage to promote Pol II release, its molecular mechanism remain...

Activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates antibody gene diversification by creating U:G mismatches. However, AID is not specific for antibody genes. Off-target lesions can activate oncogenes or cause chromosome translocations. Despite its importance in these key transactions little is kn...

RNAPII pausing/termination shortly after initiation is a hallmark of gene regulation. However, the molecular mechanisms involved are still to be uncovered. Here, we show that NELF interacts with Integrator complex subunits (INTScom) forming a stable complex with RNPII and Spt5. The interaction betwe...

The Spt4-Spt5 complex, and its human homolog DSIF (DRB sensitivity-inducing factor), is unique in its ability to regulate Pol II processivity. Previous studies have shown that Spt5 has the characteristics of a general transcription-elongation factor. However, mutagenesis of Spt5 showed specific phen...

Recent studies have found that promoter-proximal pausing occurs at most Pol2-regulated genes. DSIF and NELF function as negative elongation factors and promote Pol2 pausing. P-TEFb, whose enzymatic activity lies in the kinase Cdk9, positively regulates the transition into productive elongation by ...

LEDGF/p75 promotes transcriptional pausing through preventing SPT5 phosphorylation
The Spt4-Spt5 complex is conserved and essential RNA polymerase elongation factor. To investigate the role of the Spt4-Spt5 complex in non-coding transcription during development, we used the unicellular model Paramecium tetraurelia. In this organism harboring both germline (micronucleus - MIC) and ...
