Abstract
The nucleation of RNA polymerases I-III transcription complexes is usually directed by distinct multisubunit factors. In the case of the human RNA polymerase II and III small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes, whose core promoters consist of a proximal sequence element (PSE) and a PSE combined with a TATA box, respectively, the same multisubunit complex is involved in the establishment of RNA polymerase II and III initiation complexes. This factor, the snRNA-activating protein complex or SNAP(c), binds to the PSE of both types of promoters and contains five types of subunits, SNAP190, SNAP50, SNAP45, SNAP43, and SNAP19, SNAP(c) binds cooperatively with both Oct-1, an activator of snRNA promoters, and in the RNA polymerase III snRNA promoters, with TATA-binding protein, which binds to the TATA box located downstream of the PSE. Here we have defined subunit domains required for SNAP, subunit-subunit association, and we show that complexes containing little more than the domains mapped here as required for subunit-subunit contacts bind specifically to the PSE, These data provide a detailed map of the subunit-subunit interactions within a multifunctional basal transcription complex.
