摘要

Mutations that increase the low-level transcription of theSaccharomyces cerevisiae HIS4 gene, which results from deletion of the genes encoding transcription factors BAS1, BAS2, and GCN4, were isolated previously in SIT1 (also known asRPO21, RPB1, and SUA8), the gene encoding the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Here we show that sit1 substitutions cluster in two conserved regions of the enzyme which form part of the active site. Sixsit1 mutations, affect region F, a region that is involved in transcriptional elongation and in resistance to α-aminatin. Foursit1 substitutions lie in another region involved in transcriptional elongation, region D, which binds Mg2+ ions essential for RNA catalysis. One region D substitution is lethal unless suppressed by a substitution in region G and interacts genetically withPPR2, the gene encoding transcription elongation factor IIS. Some sit1 substitutions affect the selection of transcriptional start sites at the CYC1 promoter in a manner reminiscent of that of sua8 (sua stands for suppression of upstream ATG) mutations. Together with previous findings which indicate that regions D and G are in close proximity to the 3′ end of the nascent transcript and that region F is involved in the translocation process, our results suggest that transcriptional activation by the sit1 mutations results from alteration of the RNAPII active center.
