COMMUNICATION
The Human Homologue of Drosophila TRF-proximal Protein Is Associated with an RNA Polymerase II-SRB Complex

Hua Xiao, Yong Tao, and Robert G. Roeder

From the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021

Mammalian RNA polymerase II holoenzymes are large complexes that have been reported to contain, in addition to RNA polymerase II, homologues of several yeast SRBs, various general transcription factors, and other polypeptides. On the basis of its copurification with an SRB-containing RNA polymerase II complex by conventional chromatography procedures, we have identified a human homologue of Drosophila TRF-proximal protein, designated hTRFP, and isolated its cognate cDNA. Antibody specific for SRB7 can immunoprecipitate hTRFP and RNA polymerase II and, reciprocally, antibody specific for hTRFP can immunoprecipitate RNA polymerase II and SRB7. These data indicate that hTRFP is an integral component of an RNA polymerase II-SRB complex. Whereas the precise function of hTRFP remains to be determined, the hTRFP-containing RNA polymerase II-SRB complex supports basal level transcription and, relative to RNA polymerase II alone, enhances transcriptional activation by Gal4-VP16 in the presence of cofactor PC4. Thus, hTRFP may regulate transcription of class II genes through association with the RNA polymerase II-SRB complex.
