Activation of yeast polymerase II transcription by herpesvirus VP16 and GAL4 derivatives in vitro.

Abstract:

:Fusion proteins known to activate transcription in vivo were tested for the ability to stimulate transcription in vitro in a recently developed Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA polymerase II transcription system. One fusion protein, whose activation domain was derived from the herpesvirus transcriptional activator VP16, gave more than 100-fold stimulation in the in vitro system. The order of effects of the various proteins was the same for transcription in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that the natural mechanism of activation is preserved in vitro.

  • When Long Noncoding Becomes Protein Coding.

    abstract::Recent advancements in genetic and proteomic technologies have revealed that more of the genome encodes proteins than originally thought possible. Specifically, some putative long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been misannotated as noncoding. Numerous lncRNAs have been found to contain short open reading frames (sORFs)...
