TFIID can be rate limiting in vivo for TATA-containing, but not TATA-lacking, RNA polymerase II promoters.

Abstract:

:We have studied the effect of exogenous expression of the basal transcription factor TFIID on the activities of several different TATA-containing and TATA-lacking promoters. Overexpression of TFIID from a transfected plasmid in Drosophila Schneider cells resulted in substantial concentration-dependent increases in expression from a cotransfected minimal TATA-containing promoter. Overexpression of TFIID activated expression from all TATA-containing promoters tested, with the maximum level of activation being inversely proportional to the strength of the promoter. In contrast, expression from TATA-less promoters was not enhanced, and could in fact be reduced, by increased expression of TFIID. Consistent with these findings overexpression of TFIID had opposite effects on Sp1-mediated activation observed from minimal synthetic promoters consisting of Sp1-binding sites and either a TATA box or initiator element. We discuss the significance of these results in terms of the role of TFIID in the initiation of transcription and as a possible regulatory target for expression from TATA-containing promoters, as well as the role TFIID may play in expression from TATA-less promoters.
