Journal Article
The La-related protein LARP7 is a component of the 7SK ribonucleoprotein and affects transcription of cellular and viral polymerase II genes
2008
Overview
The positive transcription elongation factor b (P‐TEFb) is a heterodimeric complex composed of cyclin‐dependent kinase 9 and its regulator cyclin T1/2. It stimulates transcription elongation by phosphorylation of serine 2 residues in the carboxy‐terminal domain of polymerase II. 7SK RNA and HEXIM proteins can antagonize transcriptional stimulation by sequestering P‐TEFb in a catalytically inactive ribonucleoprotein (RNP). Here, we show that the previously uncharacterized La‐related protein 7 (LARP7) has a role in 7SK‐mediated regulation of transcription. LARP7 binds to the highly conserved 3′‐terminal U‐rich stretch of 7SK RNA and is an integral part of the 7SK RNP. On stimulation, LARP7 remains associated with 7SK RNA, whereas P‐TEFb is released. Interestingly, reduction of LARP7 by RNA interference enhances transcription from cellular polymerase II promoters, as well as a TAT‐dependent HIV‐1 promoter. Thus, LARP7 is a negative transcriptional regulator of polymerase II genes, acting by means of the 7SK RNP system.
