Binding of the termination factor Nsi1 to its cognate DNA site is sufficient to terminate RNA polymerase I transcription in vitro and to induce termination in vivo.

Abstract:

:Different models have been proposed explaining how eukaryotic gene transcription is terminated. Recently, Nsi1, a factor involved in silencing of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), was shown to be required for efficient termination of rDNA transcription by RNA polymerase I (Pol I) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nsi1 contains Myb-like DNA binding domains and associates in vivo near the 3' end of rRNA genes to rDNA, but information about which and how DNA sequences might influence Nsi1-dependent termination is lacking. Here, we show that binding of Nsi1 to a stretch of 11 nucleotides in the correct orientation was sufficient to pause elongating Pol I shortly upstream of the Nsi1 binding site and to release the transcripts in vitro. The same minimal DNA element triggered Nsi1-dependent termination of pre-rRNA synthesis using an in vivo reporter assay. Termination efficiency in the in vivo system could be enhanced by inclusion of specific DNA sequences downstream of the Nsi1 binding site. These data and the finding that Nsi1 blocks efficiently only Pol I-dependent RNA synthesis in an in vitro transcription system improve our understanding of a unique mechanism of transcription termination.
