The activity of purified RNA polymerase II from Novikoff ascites tumor cells is stimulated 5-7-fold by a purified protein factor. This protein factor, designated HLF2, has extensive protein kinase activity and catalyzed the incorporation of gamma-32G from ATP into protein under normal RNA polymerase assay conditions. Protein phosphorylation is totally dependent on the presence of HLF2 and is stimulated 2-3-fold by the presence of highly purified RNA polymerase II. The purification procedure developed for the isolation of the polymerase stimulatory factor resulted in a 4000-fold purification of a protein kinase. Chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose, phosphocellulose, and Sephadex G-100 did not resolve polymerase stimulatory activity from protein kinase activity. Adenylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), an inhibitor of protein kinases, inhibited the stimulatory activity of purified factor by 80%. The heat denaturation profile of protein kinase was paralleled by the loss of polymerase stimulatory activity. Concentrations of (NH4)2SO4 which are known to inhibit polymerase stimulation (Lee and Dahmus, 1973) also inhibit protein kinase activity. The protein kinase activity associated with stimulatory factor catalyzes the phosphorylation of basic proteins such as protamine or histone. The protein kinase is not stimulated by cyclic 3', 5'-AMP or -GMP over a concentration range of 10(-6)-10(-4)M. Furthermore, protein kinase activity is not inhibited by either the regulatory subunit of rabbit muscle protein kinase or by the heat-stable inhibitor of cyclic 3', 5'-AMP-dependent protein kinases. Protein kinase activity is stimulated by KCl or NH4Cl and is inhibited by MnCl2. The apparent Km values, determined in the presence of 4 mM Mg2+, are 0.02 mM for ATP, and 4.1 mM for GTP.

Translocation of protein kinase to the nucleus had been implicated earlier in the transsynaptic control of gene expression mediated by cholinergic nerves in adrenal medulla. Phosphorylation of chromosomal proteins by adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate enhances the template activity of chromatin from adrenal medulla. When homologous RNA polymerase II is used the relative activation is greater than that obtained with Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. The substrate for such phosphorylation does not seem to be RNA polymerase II. Phosphorylation of specific acidic protein probably mediates this enhancement of template activity.

Phosphorylation of rat liver RNA polymerase I occurred when intact rat liver nuclei were incubated with [gamma32P]ATP and N6,O2' dibutyryl cyclic 3':5'-AMP. In addition, partially purified RNA polymerase I could be phosphorylated in vitro by an endogenous protein kinase. Phosphorylation by either method was followed by extensive purification of the enzyme. This revealed that 32P remained bound to the enzyme throughout purification. Analysis of the homogeneous labeled protein by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions followed by autoradiography revealed that only one of the two forms of RNA polymerase I in rat liver nuclei was phosphorylated. RNA polymerase II was not phosphorylated in intact nuclei. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the phosphorylated RNA polymerase I in the presence of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate followed by autoradiography demonstrated that the 32P was located primarily on enzyme subunits SA1, SA3, and SA5-SA6. High voltage paper electrophoresis of a partial acid hydrolysate of phosphorylated RNA polymerase I revealed that both serine and threonine residues were phosphroylated. N6,O2'-Dibutyryl cyclic 3':5'-AMP stimulated endogenous RNA polymerase I activity and endogenous nuclear protein phosphorylation in intact nuclei. These results suggest that phosphorylation of RNA polymerase I by nuclear protein kinases may play a role in the control of transcription in mammalian cells.

Nucleoplasmic RNA polymerase II (nucleosidetriphosphate:RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.6) from calfthymus is phosphorylated by homologous cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the 32P-labeled RNA polymerase II under non-denaturing conditions revealed that both forms of the enzyme were phosphorylated. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the 32P-labeled RNA polymerase II under denaturing conditions showed that the 25 000 dalton subunit was the phosphate acceptor subunit. Partial acid hydrolysis of the 32P-labeled RNA polymerase II followed by ion-exchange chromatography revealed serine and threonine as the [32P]phosphate acceptor amino acids. Phosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II was accompanied by a stimulation of enzymatic activity and was dependent upon the presence of ATP.

Mammalian RNA polymerase II contains at the C terminus of its largest subunit an unusual domain consisting of 52 tandem repeats of the consensus sequence Tyr-Ser-Pro-Thr-Ser-Pro-Ser. The phosphorylation of this domain is thought to play an important role in the transition of RNA polymerase II from a preinitiation complex to an elongating complex. The unphosphorylated form of RNA polymerase II is designated IIA, whereas the phosphorylated form is designated IIO. In an effort to determine the consequence of C-terminal domain phosphorylation on complex formation, 32P-labeled RNA polymerases IIA and IIO were prepared and examined for their ability to form a stable preinitiation complex on the adenovirus-2 major late promoter in the presence of a reconstituted HeLa cell transcription extract. Preinitiation complexes were formed in the absence of ATP and purified from free RNA polymerase II by chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B. The state of phosphorylation of the largest subunit was monitored by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the transcriptional activity was determined by assaying specific transcript formation upon the addition of nucleotides and a competing DNA template. RNA polymerase IIA was recovered in transcriptionally active complexes in reactions in which the input enzyme was RNA polymerase IIA. In reactions with RNA polymerase IIO as the input enzyme, no IIO was recovered in excluded fractions that normally contain preinitiation complex. In reactions with equimolar amounts of RNA polymerases IIO and IIA, purified preinitiation complexes contained almost exclusively RNA polymerase HA. These results support the idea that RNA polymerase II containing an unphosphorylated C-terminal domain preferentially associates with the adenovirus-2 major late promoter. The state of phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain can, therefore, directly influence preinitiation complex formation. We also report here the presence of an activity in HeLa cell extracts that catalyzes dephosphorylation of the C-terminal domain, thereby converting RNA polymerase IIO to IIA. This C-terminal domain phosphatase is specific in that it does not catalyze the dephosphorylation of a serine residue phosphorylated by casein kinase II. The presence of a C-terminal domain phosphatase in in vitro transcription reactions containing RNA polymerase IIO results in the formation of RNA polymerase IIA. This RNA polymerase IIA associates preferentially with preinitiation complexes.

We previously purified RNA polymerase II transcription factor delta from rat liver and found that it has an associated DNA-dependent ATPase (dATPase) activity. In this report, we show that delta is also closely associated with a protein kinase activity that catalyzes phosphorylation of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. Kinase activity copurifies with transcription and DNA-dependent ATPase (dATPase) activities when delta is analyzed by anion- and cation-exchange HPLC as well as by sucrose gradient sedimentation, arguing that delta possesses all three activities. Phosphorylation of the largest subunits of both rat and yeast RNA polymerase II is stimulated by DNA, whereas phosphorylation of a synthetic peptide containing multiple copies of the carboxyl-terminal heptapeptide repeat is not. Although both ATP and GTP appear to function as phosphate donors, GTP is utilized less than 10% as well as ATP. These findings suggest that delta may exert its action in transcription at least in part through a mechanism involving phosphorylation of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II.

Yeast RNA polymerase II initiation factor b copurifies with three polypeptides of 85, 73, and 50 kilodaltons and with a protein kinase that phosphorylates the carboxyl-terminal repeat domain (CTD) of the largest polymerase subunit. The gene that encodes the 73-kilodalton polypeptide, designated TFB1, was cloned and found to be essential for cell growth. The deduced protein sequence exhibits no similarity to those of protein kinases. However, the sequence is similar to that of the 62-kilodalton subunit of the HeLa transcription factor BFT2, suggesting that this factor is the human counterpart of yeast factor b. Immunoprecipitation experiments using antibodies to the TFB1 gene product demonstrate that the transcriptional and CTD kinase activities of factor b are closely associated with an oligomer of the three polypeptides. Photoaffinity labeling with 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP (adenosine triphosphate) identified an ATP-binding site in the 85-kilodalton polypeptide, suggesting that the 85-kilodalton subunit contains the catalytic domain of the kinase.

1. A protein kinase type II was purified from calf thymus chromatin using ammonium sulphate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE and phosphocellulose and affinity chromatography on phosvitin- and casein-sepharose columns. 2. The enzyme moves as a single band in non-denaturing gel electrophoresis at pH 8.3, which coincides with the enzyme activity assayed on gel slices. 3. Sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis shows three separate polypeptide chains having M(r) of 40,000, 38,000 and 25,000, respectively. The native M(r) was about 130,000, as measured by HPLC on Superose 12 column, suggesting a subunit structure of alpha, alpha', beta 2 type. The enzyme incubated with [gamma 32P]ATP or [gamma 32P]GTP as phosphoryl donors undergoes autophosphorylation in the M(r) = 25,000 subunit. 4. The enzyme phosphorylates casein (Km = 7 microM) and phosvitin (Km = 5 microM) but not histones and was strongly deactivated by Zn2+ ions (I50 = 0.05 mM) and heparin (I50 = 0.1 micrograms/ml). 5. The enzyme seems to be the major phosphorylating system present in the 0.35 M NaCl chromatin extract of calf thymus. The RNA polymerase II from calf thymus and RNA polymerase from E. coli are both phosphorylated by protein kinase NII. The effect of phosphorylation, which causes a remarkable increase of DNA transcription rate, was studied in vitro and extensively discussed.

The carboxyl-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II contains a tandemly repeated heptapeptide sequence. Previous work has shown that this sequence is phosphorylated at multiple sites by a template-associated protein kinase, in a reaction that is closely associated with the initiation of RNA synthesis. We have purified this kinase to apparent homogeneity from human (HeLa) cells. The purified kinase phosphorylates native RNA polymerase II only in the presence of DNA and the general transcription factors TFIID (TBP), TFIIB, and TFIIF. Two kinase components are required for full activity: a catalytic component and a DNA-binding regulatory component. The regulatory component has been identified as Ku autoantigen, based on the molecular weights of its component polypeptides, its DNA-binding properties, and its reactivity with anti-Ku monoclonal antibodies. The Ku autoantigen recruits the catalytic component of the kinase to the template. Ku autoantigen has been previously proposed to interact with DNA by a characteristic bind-and-slide mechanism. This mode of interaction may provide a mechanism for targeting the kinase to the transcription complex and other DNA-bound substrates.

A unique form of nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic protein glycosylation, O-linked GlcNAc, has previously been detected, using Gal transferase labeling techniques, on a myriad of proteins (for review see Hart, G. W., Haltiwanger, R. S., Holt, G. D., and Kelly, W. G. (1989a) Annu. Rev. Biochem. 58, 841-874), including many RNA polymerase II transcription factors (Jackson, S. P., and Tjian, R. (1988) Cell 55, 125-133). However, virtually nothing is known about the degree of glycosylation at individual sites, or, indeed, the actual sites of attachment of O-GlcNAc on transcription factors. In this paper we provide rigorous evidence for the occurrence and locations of O-GlcNAc on the c-fos transcription factor, serum response factor (SRF), expressed in an insect cell line. Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) of proteolytic digests of SRF provides evidence for the presence of a single substoichiometric O-GlcNAc residue on each of four peptides isolated after sequential cyanogen bromide, tryptic, and proline specific enzyme digestion: these peptides are 306VSASVSP312, 274GTTSTIQTAP283, 313SAVSSADGTVLK324, and 374DSSTDLTQTSSSGTVTLP391. Using an array of techniques, including manual Edman degradation, aminopeptidase, and elastase digestion, together with FAB-MS, the major sites of O-GlcNAc attachment were shown to be serine residues within short tandem repeat regions. The highest level of glycosylation was found on the SSS tandem repeat of peptide (374-391) which is situated within the transcriptional activation domain of SRF. The other glycosylation sites observed in SRF are located in the region of the protein between the DNA binding domain and the transcriptional activation domain. Glycosylation of peptides (274-283) and (313-324) was found to occur on the serine in the TTST tandem repeat and on serine 316 in the SS repeat, respectively. The lowest level of glycosylation was recovered in peptide (306-312) which lacks tandem repeats. All the glycosylation sites identified in SRF are situated in a relatively short region of the primary sequence close to or within the transcriptional activation domain which is distant from the major sites of phosphorylation catalyzed by casein kinase II.
