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...

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...

Spt6 is a highly conserved factor that carries out important functions in transcription and chromatin structure. To gain new insights into Spt6, we measured nucleosome occupancy along Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome III in an spt6 mutant and found that the level of nucleosomes is greatly reduced...

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...

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...

ChIP-chip of histone variants and modifications in A. thaliana WT and various mutants In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, H2AZ, H3, H3 acetylated, H3K36me3, H3K4me3 as well as RNAPII (along with associated DNA sequences) were immunoprecipitated. The ChIPs were performed in duplicate from WT cells as well ...

Transcript elongation by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is accompanied by conserved patterns of histone modification within transcribed regions, but it remains uncertain how these modifications influence, or are influenced by, properties of the elongation complex. Here we establish an intimate link betw...
