Differential dependencies of human RNA polymerase II promoters on TBP, TAF1, TFIIB, and XPB.

ABSTRACT: General transcription factors (GTFs) are required for RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to initiate transcription at promoters. In this study, we determined the effects of acute depletion of TBP, TAF1, TAF4, TFIIB, and XPB in HAP1 cells. We performed precision nuclear run-on sequencing (PRO-Seq) and quantified nascent transcripts arising from more than 70,000 promoters. The average dependencies for each factor across all promoters varied widely even though levels of depletions were similar. Many of the effects could be attributed to the presence or absence of core promoter elements. Depletion of TBP had a large effect on only a small fraction of Pol II and Pol III promoters. TFIIB depletion also led to readthrough transcription downstream of the 3′ ends of genes. We conclude that promoter activity is influenced by recruitment of TFIID, sequence-specific transcription factors, and interaction of the preinitiation complex (PIC) with the +1 nucleosome.
