Monoubiquitination of histone H2B, catalyzed by Rad6-Bre1, is required for
methylation of histone H3 on lysines 4 and 79, catalyzed by the
Set1-containing complex COMPASS and Dot1p, respectively. The Paf1 protein
complex, which associates with RNA polymerase II, is known to be required for
these histone H3 methylation events. During the early elongation stage of
transcription, the Paf1 complex is required for association of COMPASS with
RNA polymerase II, but the role the Paf1 complex plays at the promoter has not
been clear. We present evidence that the Paf1 complex is required for
monoubiquitination of histone H2B at promoters. Strains deleted for several
components of the Paf1 complex are defective in monoubiquitination of histone
H2B, which results in the loss of methylation of lysines 4 and 79 of histone
H3. We also show that Paf1 complex is required for the interaction of Rad6 and
COMPASS with RNA polymerase II. Finally, we show that the Paf1 complex is
required for Rad6-Bre1 catalytic activity but not for the recruitment of
Rad6-Bre1 to promoters. Thus, in addition to its role during the elongation
phase of transcription, the Paf1 complex appears to activate the function but
not the placement of the Rad6-Bre1 ubiquitin-protein ligase at the promoters
of active genes.
