ELL-associated factors EAF1/2 negatively regulate HIV-1 transcription through inhibition of Super Elongation Complex formation
In this study, we show that EAF1/2 inhibit the SEC-dependent and Tat-activated HIV-1 transcription. EAF1/2 are found to interact with the SEC components in an ELL1/2-dependent manner. Surprisingly, the depletion of EAF1/2 increases the SEC formation and occupancy on the HIV-1 proviral DNA, thereby stimulating Tat transactivation of HIV-1. Although EAF1/2 interact with members of the SEC in a ELL-dependent manner, this interaction competes with the binding of the scaffolding subunit AFF1 with ELL, thus reducing the SEC formation. Together, these data reveal how EAF1/2 regulate the SEC formation to control HIV-1 transcriptio...

MLL fusion proteins and transcriptional control
Publication date: Available online 12 February 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory MechanismsAuthor(s): Robert K. SlanyAbstractThe highly leukemogenic MLL fusion proteins have a unique mechanism of action. This review summarizes the current knowledge of how MLL fusions interact with the transcriptional machinery and it proposes a hypothesis how these proteins modify transcriptional control to act as transcriptional amplifiers causing runaway production of certain RNAs that transform hematopoietic cells.

Riboswitch regulation mechanisms: RNA, metabolites and regulatory proteins
Publication date: Available online 7 February 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory MechanismsAuthor(s): Anne-Sophie Vézina Bédard, Elsa D.M. Hien, Daniel A. LafontaineAbstractRiboswitches are RNA sensors that have been shown to modulate the expression of downstream genes by altering their structure upon metabolite binding. Riboswitches are unique among cellular regulators in that metabolite detection is strictly performed using RNA interactions with the sensed metabolite and in which no regulatory protein is needed to mediate the interaction. However, recent studies have shed light on riboswi...

The interaction between the F55 virus-encoded transcription regulator and the RadA host recombinase reveals a common strategy in Archaea and Bacteria to sense the UV-induced damage to the host DNA
In this study we have applied an integrated biochemical approach based on a variant of the EMSA assay coupled to mass spectrometry analyses to identify the proteins associated with F55 when bound to its specific DNA promoter sequences. Among the putative F55 interactors, we identified RadA and showed that the archaeal molecular components F55 and RadA are functional homologs of bacteriophage λ (factor CI) and Escherichia coli (RecA) system.Graphical abstract (Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) Gene Regulatory Mechanisms)
