By applying MC EMiNEM (a novel method based on the concept of Nested Effects Models (NEMs) for the retrieval of functional dependencies between proteins that have pleiotropic effects on mRNA transcription) to the expression data from four gene perturbation studies (three of them unpublished) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we hope to derive new insight into the Mediator signaling network and specific transcription factor - Mediator subunit interactions. The structure of the resulting regulatory networks allows us to hypothesize on possible structural changes of the Mediator upon binding of activators or repressors.

View SamplesDynamic transcriptome profiling with metabolic labeling (4tU) (Sun et al. Genome Research 2012) was applied to synchronized S.cerevisiae cells to estimate labeled and total mRNA levels every 5 minutes for three complete cell cycles. The dataset comprises two time series from independent biological replicates for each mRNA fraction (total, labeled).

View SamplesRNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the central enzyme that carries out eukaryotic mRNA transcription and consists of a 10-subunit catalytic core and a heterodimeric subcomplex of subunits Rpb4 and Rpb7 (Rpb4/7). Rpb4/7 has been proposed to shuttle from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and to function there in mRNA translation and degradation. Here we provide evidence that Rpb4 mainly functions in nuclear mRNA synthesis by Pol II, and evidence arguing against an important cytoplasmic role. We used metabolic RNA labeling and comparative Dynamic Transcriptome Analysis (cDTA) to show that Rpb4 deletion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes a drastic defect in mRNA synthesis that is compensated by down-regulation of mRNA degradation, resulting in mRNA level buffering. Deletion of Rpb4 can be rescued by covalent fusion of Rpb4 to the Pol II core subunit Rpb2, which largely restores mRNA synthesis and degradation defects caused by Rpb4 deletion. Thus Rpb4 is a bona fide Pol II core subunit which functions mainly in mRNA synthesis.
