TFIIH is an elongation factor of RNA polymerase I.


ABSTRACT: TFIIH is a multisubunit factor essential for transcription initiation and promoter escape of RNA polymerase II and for the opening of damaged DNA double strands in nucleotide excision repair (NER). In this study, we have analyzed at which step of the transcription cycle TFIIH is essential for transcription by RNA polymerase I. We demonstrate that TFIIH associates with the rDNA promoter and gene-internal sequences and leaves the rDNA promoter in a complex with RNA polymerase I after start of transcription. Moreover, mutations in the TFIIH subunits XPB and XPD found in Cockayne syndrome impair the interaction of TFIIH with the rDNA, but do not influence initiation complex formation or promoter escape of RNA polymerase I, but preclude the productivity of the enzyme by reducing transcription elongation in vivo and in vitro. Our results implicate that reduced RNA polymerase I transcription elongation and ribosomal stress could be one factor contributing to the Cockayne syndrome phenotype.
