- Abstract
- Background: Distinct termination pathways for yeast RNA polymerase II (RNApII) employ proteins (Nrd1 and Rtt103) recognizing different phospho-forms of the RNApII C-terminal domain (CTD). Results: Alteration of CTD-binding specificity of Nrd1 significantly affects RNApII termination. Conclusion: Differential interaction between RNApII CTD and termination factors is crucial in choosing a termination pathway. Significance: CTD-interacting domain of Nrd1 couples termination and RNA processing by the nuclear exosome. The RNA polymerase II (RNApII) C-terminal domain (CTD)-interacting domain (CID) proteins are involved in two distinct RNApII termination pathways and recognize different phosphorylated forms of CTD. To investigate the role of differential CTD-CID interactions in the choice of termination pathway, we altered the CTD-binding specificity of Nrd1 by domain swapping. Nrd1 with the CID from Rtt103 (Nrd1(CIDRtt103)) causes read-through transcription at many genes, but can also trigger termination where multiple Nrd1/Nab3-binding sites and the Ser(P)-2 CTD co-exist. Therefore, CTD-CID interactions target specific termination complexes to help choose an RNApII termination pathway. Interactions of Nrd1 with both CTD and nascent transcripts contribute to efficient termination by the Nrd1 complex. Surprisingly, replacing the Nrd1 CID with that from Rtt103 reduces binding to Rrp6/Trf4, and RNA transcripts terminated by Nrd1(CIDRtt103) are predominantly processed by core exosome. Thus, the Nrd1 CID couples Ser(P)-5 CTD not only to termination, but also to RNA processing by the nuclear exosome.
