The C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is phosphorylated differentially during the transcription cycle and serves as a landing pad for a variety of transcriptional regulators and RNA processing proteins. PHD finger protein 3 (PHF3) binds to the serine-2 phosphorylated Pol II CTD with its Spen Paralogue and Orthologue C-terminal (SPOC) domain and regulates transcription elongation and mRNA stability. Here we show that PHF3 binds target RNAs by recognizing a G-rich motif prone to form G-quadruplexes (G4s). Two PHF3 zinc finger domains, PHD (plant homeo domain) and TLD (TFIIS-like domain) act in concert to bind and destabilize target RNAs and their deletion in HEK293T cells causes massive deregulation of gene expression.

The aqueous layer was transferred to a new tube and precipitated with 0.5 mL isopropanol. The RNA pellet was isolated by centrifugation for 30 min at 4°C, washed with 1 mL 75% ethanol, re-centrifuged for 10 min, dried and resuspended in 70 µL RNase free water. 20 µg RNA was treated with 40 U DNaseI (Roche) for 30 min at 37°C and subsequently purified by phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation."],"figure_sub":["Organization","MINSEQE Score","Assays and Data","MAGE-TAB Files"],"pubmed_authors":["Dea Slade","Vedran Franke"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"PHF3 regulates RNA stability through PHD and TLD domains - RNAseq PHD - TLD","description":"Transcription and RNA processing are tightly coupled and precisely coordinated to ensure appropriate levels of mature transcripts.
