    Description: An octamer DNA sequence plays a critical role in directing transcription of immunoglobulin genes in B lymphocytes. A new technique of direct binding of radioactive DNA was used to screen a complementary DNA expression library from the BJAB cell line in lambda gt11 phage to derive molecular cDNA clones representing a putative B lymphocyte-specific octamer binding protein. The plaques were screened with DNA containing four copies of the octamer sequence and positive phage recombinants were identified. The fusion protein produced on inducing a lysogen of one phage bound to a monomeric octamer probe. The cDNA insert from this phage hybridized to messenger RNA found in B lymphocytes, but not in most other cells. Thus, this cDNA derives from a gene (oct-2) that specifies an octamer binding protein expressed preferentially in B lymphocytes, proving that, for at least one gene, a cell-specific transcription factor exists and its amount is controlled through messenger RNA availability.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Staudt, L M -- Clerc, R G -- Singh, H -- LeBowitz, J H -- Sharp, P A -- Baltimore, D -- P01-CA42063/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30-CAL4051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 29;241(4865):577-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3399892" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Specific short oligonucleotide sequences that enhance pre-mRNA splicing when present in exons, termed exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs), play important roles in constitutive and alternative splicing. A computational method, RESCUE-ESE, was developed that predicts which sequences have ESE activity by statistical analysis of exon-intron and splice site composition. When large data sets of human gene sequences were used, this method identified 10 predicted ESE motifs. Representatives of all 10 motifs were found to display enhancer activity in vivo, whereas point mutants of these sequences exhibited sharply reduced activity. The motifs identified enable prediction of the splicing phenotypes of exonic mutations in human genes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fairbrother, William G -- Yeh, Ru-Fang -- Sharp, Phillip A -- Burge, Christopher B -- 1 R01 HG02439-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Aug 9;297(5583):1007-13.

    Description: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a pluripotent cell type that can differentiate into several distinct lineages. Two key transcription factors, Runx2 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), drive MSCs to differentiate into either osteoblasts or adipocytes, respectively. How these two transcription factors are regulated in order to specify these alternate cell fates remains a pivotal question. Here we report that a 14-3-3-binding protein, TAZ (transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif), coactivates Runx2-dependent gene transcription while repressing PPARgamma-dependent gene transcription. By modulating TAZ expression in model cell lines, mouse embryonic fibroblasts, and primary MSCs in culture and in zebrafish in vivo, we observed alterations in osteogenic versus adipogenic potential. These results indicate that TAZ functions as a molecular rheostat that modulates MSC differentiation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hong, Jeong-Ho -- Hwang, Eun Sook -- McManus, Michael T -- Amsterdam, Adam -- Tian, Yu -- Kalmukova, Ralitsa -- Mueller, Elisabetta -- Benjamin, Thomas -- Spiegelman, Bruce M -- Sharp, Phillip A -- Hopkins, Nancy -- Yaffe, Michael B -- CA042063/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM60594/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM68762/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Aug 12;309(5737):1074-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Cancer Research, Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, E18-580, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16099986" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Tat may stimulate transcriptional elongation by recruitment of a complex containing Tat-SF1 and a kinase to the human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) promoter through a Tat-TAR interaction. A complementary DNA for the cellular activity, Tat-SF1, has been isolated. This factor is required for Tat trans-activation and is a substrate of an associated cellular kinase. Cotransfection with the complementary DNA for Tat-SF1 specifically modulates Tat activation. Tat-SF1 contains two RNA recognition motifs and a highly acidic carboxyl-terminal half. It is distantly related to EWS and FUS/TLS, members of a family of putative transcription factors with RNA recognition motifs that are associated with sarcomas.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhou, Q -- Sharp, P A -- AI32486/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA14051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM34277/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Oct 25;274(5287):605-10.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Cancer Research and Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8849451" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Messenger RNA (mRNA) stability, localization, and translation are largely determined by sequences in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). We found a conserved increase in expression of mRNAs terminating at upstream polyadenylation sites after activation of primary murine CD4+ T lymphocytes. This program, resulting in shorter 3'UTRs, is a characteristic of gene expression during immune cell activation and correlates with proliferation across diverse cell types and tissues. Forced expression of full-length 3'UTRs conferred reduced protein expression. In some cases the reduction in protein expression could be reversed by deletion of predicted microRNA target sites in the variably included region. Our data indicate that gene expression is coordinately regulated, such that states of increased proliferation are associated with widespread reductions in the 3'UTR-based regulatory capacity of mRNAs.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2587246/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2587246/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sandberg, Rickard -- Neilson, Joel R -- Sarma, Arup -- Sharp, Phillip A -- Burge, Christopher B -- P01 CA042063/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA042063-22/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01-CA42063/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30-CA14051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM034277/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM034277-23/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG002439/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG002439-07/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM34277/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-HG002439/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI056900/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI056900-010001/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Jun 20;320(5883):1643-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1155390.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18566288" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is thought to occur unidirectionally from most genes. Here, we present evidence of widespread divergent transcription at protein-encoding gene promoters. Transcription start site-associated RNAs (TSSa-RNAs) nonrandomly flank active promoters, with peaks of antisense and sense short RNAs at 250 nucleotides upstream and 50 nucleotides downstream of TSSs, respectively. Northern analysis shows that TSSa-RNAs are subsets of an RNA population 20 to 90 nucleotides in length. Promoter-associated RNAPII and H3K4-trimethylated histones, transcription initiation hallmarks, colocalize at sense and antisense TSSa-RNA positions; however, H3K79-dimethylated histones, characteristic of elongating RNAPII, are only present downstream of TSSs. These results suggest that divergent transcription over short distances is common for active promoters and may help promoter regions maintain a state poised for subsequent regulation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2692996/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2692996/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Seila, Amy C -- Calabrese, J Mauro -- Levine, Stuart S -- Yeo, Gene W -- Rahl, Peter B -- Flynn, Ryan A -- Young, Richard A -- Sharp, Phillip A -- 5-F32-HD051190/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- F32 HD051190-03/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HG002668/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA042063/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA042063-20/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01-CA42063/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA014051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA014051-35/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30-CA14051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM034277/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM034277-24/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG002668/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG002668-05/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM34277/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Dec 19;322(5909):1849-51. doi: 10.1126/science.1162253.

    Description: The CCA-adding enzyme [ATP(CTP):tRNA nucleotidyltransferase] adds CCA to the 3' ends of transfer RNAs (tRNAs), a critical step in tRNA biogenesis that generates the amino acid attachment site. We found that the CCA-adding enzyme plays a key role in tRNA quality control by selectively marking structurally unstable tRNAs and tRNA-like small RNAs for degradation. Instead of adding CCA to the 3' ends of these transcripts, CCA-adding enzymes from all three kingdoms of life add CCACCA. In addition, hypomodified mature tRNAs are subjected to CCACCA addition as part of a rapid tRNA decay pathway in vivo. We conjecture that CCACCA addition is a universal mechanism for controlling tRNA levels and preventing errors in translation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3273417/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3273417/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wilusz, Jeremy E -- Whipple, Joseph M -- Phizicky, Eric M -- Sharp, Phillip A -- 5T32-GM068411/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA014051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA014051-38/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30-CA14051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA133404/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA133404-05/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM034277/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM034277-28/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM052347/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM052347-16/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA133404/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM34277/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM52347/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM068411/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM068411-08/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Nov 11;334(6057):817-21. doi: 10.1126/science.1213671.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. wilusz@mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22076379" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Splicing in vitro of a messenger RNA (mRNA) precursor (pre-mRNA) is inhibited by a monoclonal antibody to the C proteins (anti-C) of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA)-ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) particles. This antibody, 4F4, inhibits an early step of the reaction: cleavage at the 3' end of the upstream exon and the formation of the intron lariat. In contrast, boiled 4F4, or a different monoclonal antibody (designated 2B12) to the C proteins, or antibodies to other hnRNP proteins (120 and 68 kilodaltons) and nonimmune mouse antibodies have no inhibitory effect. The 4F4 antibody does not prevent the adenosine triphosphate-dependent formation of a 60S splicing complex (spliceosome). Furthermore, the 60S splicing complex contains C proteins, and it can be immunoprecipitated with 4F4. Depletion of C proteins from the splicing extract by immunoadsorption with either of the two monoclonal antibodies to the C proteins (4F4 or 2B12) results in the loss of splicing activity, whereas mock-depletion with nonimmune mouse antibodies bodies has no effect. A 60S splicing complex does not form in a C protein-depleted nuclear extract. These results indicate an essential role for proteins of the hnRNP complex in the splicing of mRNA precursors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Choi, Y D -- Grabowski, P J -- Sharp, P A -- Dreyfuss, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Mar 28;231(4745):1534-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3952495" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
