Description

A molecular link between two kinds of transcription may be a cancer target, Kouichi Kitamura and a large author team report in a 2023 paper. How messenger RNA and ribosomal RNA transcription interact in cancer was unclear. Both RNA polymerases share a subunit tail that interacts with a component of a general transcription factor, making that junction a common target for the link between the two transcription systems.

A repressor of the c-myc gene, and its splicing variant, were examined for interaction with that factor component. RNA sequencing and quantitative PCR assessed which transcripts the repressor affects. Protein interaction was measured by calorimetry. The repressor was found to contain a highly conserved region matching the shared subunit. Readers get a mechanistic lead toward a new therapeutic target.
