- W2801180552 abstract "In eukaryotes, three RNA polymerases (Pol I, II, and III) are responsible for the transcription of distinct subsets of genes. Gene-external type 3 Pol III promoters use defined transcription start and termination sites, and they are, therefore, widely used for small RNA expression, including short hairpin RNAs in RNAi applications and guide RNAs in CRISPR-Cas systems. We report that all three commonly used human Pol III promoters (7SK, U6, and H1) mediate luciferase reporter gene expression, which indicates Pol II activity, but to a different extent (H1 ≫ U6 > 7SK). We demonstrate that these promoters can recruit Pol II for transcribing extended messenger transcripts. Intriguingly, selective inhibition of Pol II stimulates the Pol III activity and vice versa, suggesting that two polymerase complexes compete for promoter usage. Pol II initiates transcription at the regular Pol III start site on the 7SK and U6 promoters, but Pol II transcription on the most active H1 promoter starts 8 nt upstream of the Pol III start site. This study provides functional evidence for the close relationship of Pol II and Pol III transcription. These mechanistic insights are important for optimal use of Pol III promoters, and they offer additional flexibility for biotechnology applications of these genetic elements.
