The fate of RNA polymerase II in early
elongation complexes is under the control of factors that regulate and
respond to the phosphorylation state of the C-terminal domain (CTD).
Phosphorylation of the CTD protects early elongation complexes from
negative transcription elongation factors such as NELF, DSIF,
and factor 2. To understand the relationship between transcript
elongation and the sensitivity of RNA polymerase IIO to
dephosphorylation, elongation complexes at defined positions on the
Ad2-ML and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) templates were
purified, and their sensitivity to CTD phosphatase was determined.
Purified elongation complexes treated with 1% Sarkosyl and paused at
U14/G16 on an HIV-1 template and
at G11 on the Ad2-ML template are equally sensitive to
dephosphorylation by CTD phosphatase. Multiple elongation complexes
paused at more promoter distal sites are more resistant to
dephosphorylation than are U14/G16 and
G11 complexes. The HIV-1 long terminal repeat and
adenovirus 2 major late promoter do not appear to differentially
influence the CTD phosphatase sensitivity of stringently washed
complexes. Subsequent elongation by 1% Sarkosyl-washed
U14/G16 complexes is unaffected by prior CTD
phosphatase treatment. This result is consistent with the hypothesis
that CTD phosphatase requires the presence of specific elongation
factors to propagate a negative effect on transcript elongation. The
action of CTD phosphatase on elongation complexes is inhibited by HIV-1
Tat protein. This observation is consistent with the idea that Tat suppression of CTD phosphatase plays a role in transactivation.
