Spt6 is a multifunctional histone chaperone involved in the maintenance of chromatin structure during elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Spt6 has a tandem SH2 (tSH2) domain within its C-terminus that recognizes Pol II CTD peptides phosphorylated on Ser2, Ser5 or Try1 in vitro. Deleting the tS...

Histone deacetylase Rpd3 is part of two distinct complexes: the large (Rpd3L) and small (Rpd3S) complexes. While Rpd3L targets specific promoters for gene repression, Rpd3S is recruited to ORFs to deacetylate histones in the wake of RNA polymerase II, to prevent cryptic initiation within genes. Meth...

H2A.Z is a highly conserved histone variant involved in several key nuclear processes. It is incorporated into promoters by SWR-C-related chromatin remodeling complexes, but whether it is also actively excluded from non-promoter regions is not clear. Here, we provide genomic and biochemical evidence...

Transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is coupled to mRNA processing and chromatin modifications via the C-terminal domain (CTD) of its largest subunit, consisting of multiple repeats of the heptapeptide YSPTSPS. Pioneering studies showed that CTD serines are differentially phosphorylated along...

Retinitis Pigmentosa is a group of inherited eye disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina, leading to vision loss and eventual blindness. One of the known genetic mutations associated with RP is the c.6926A>C mutation in the RPE (retinal pigment epithe...

Mediator is an essential, broadly utilized eukaryotic transcriptional co-activator. How and what it communicates from activators to RNA polymerase II remains an open question. Here we performed genome-wide location profiling of yeast Mediator subunits. Mediator is not found at core promoters but rat...
