Mitotically heritable, RNA polymerase II-independent H3K4 dimethylation stimulates INO1 transcriptional memory by Bethany Sump, Donna G Brickner, Agustina D'Urso, Seo Hyun Kim, Jason H Brickner

“…This phenomenon, called epigenetic transcriptional memory, accelerates reactivation, and requires both changes in chromatin structure and recruitment of poised RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) to the promoter. Memory of inositol starvation in budding yeast involves a positive feedback loop between transcription factor-dependent interaction with the nuclear pore complex and histone H3 lysine 4 dimethylation (H3K4me2). …”

The exosome component Rrp6 is required for RNA polymerase II termination at specific targets of the Nrd1-Nab3 pathway. by Melanie J Fox, Hongyu Gao, Whitney R Smith-Kinnaman, Yunlong Liu, Amber L Mosley

“…To determine the role of Rrp6 in NNS termination globally, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) on total RNA and perform ChIP-exo analysis of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) localization. Deletion of RRP6 promotes hyper-elongation of multiple NNS-dependent transcripts resulting from both improperly processed 3' RNA ends and faulty transcript termination at specific target genes. …”

Type B and type A influenza polymerases have evolved distinct binding interfaces to recruit the RNA polymerase II CTD. by Tim Krischuns, Catherine Isel, Petra Drncova, Maria Lukarska, Alexander Pflug, Sylvain Paisant, Vincent Navratil, Stephen Cusack, Nadia Naffakh

“…Initiation of viral mRNA synthesis requires a direct association of FluPol with the host RNA polymerase II (RNAP II), in particular the repetitive C-terminal domain (CTD) of the major RNAP II subunit, to enable "cap-snatching" whereby 5'-capped oligomers derived from nascent RNAP II transcripts are pirated to prime viral transcription. …”

The transcription factor TFIIS zinc ribbon dipeptide Asp-Glu is critical for stimulation of elongation and RNA cleavage by RNA polymerase II by Jeon, Choon Ju, Yoon, Ho Sup, Agarwal, Kan

“…The eukaryotic transcription factor TFIIS enhances elongation and nascent transcript cleavage activities of RNA polymerase II in a stalled elongation complex. By site-directed mutagenesis, we have demonstrated that invariant residues Asp-261 and Glu-262 of the nucleic acid-binding TFIIS Zn ribbon are critical for stimulation of both elongation and RNA cleavage activities of RNA polymerase II. …”
