Sumoylation of RNA Polymerase II Regulates Transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sumoylation is a post-translational modification that is involved in a host of cellular processes, including important roles in transcription. While it was previously reported that Rpb1, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), is sumoylated following UV-stress, our lab has shown that Rpb1 is also sumoylated under normal growth conditions. Here, we show that sumoylated Rpb1 is mostly associated with chromatin, providing further support for its role in transcriptional processes. We also show that the SUMO protease Ulp2 is important for supporting basal sumoylation of Rpb1, rather than merely as an instrument for desumoylation, which is an unexpected finding. Moreover, while impairing Rpb1 sumoylation at its major sumoylation site, K1487, has no apparent effect on growth, nascent transcription analysis from Global Run-on Sequencing (GROseq) reveals that a small number of genes are upregulated in this sumoylation-deficient Rpb1 mutant, a quarter of which are involved in the stress response.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
