Abstract
The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II is a platform for mRNA processing factors and links gene transcription to mRNA capping, splicing and polyadenylation. Pcf11, an essential component of the mRNA cleavage factor IA, contains a CTD-interaction domain that binds in a phospho-dependent manner to the heptad repeats within the RNA polymerase II CTD. We show here that the phosphorylated CTD exists as a dynamic disordered ensemble in solution and, by induced fit, it assumes a structured conformation when bound to Pcf11. In addition, we detected cis-trans populations for the CTD prolines, and found that only the all-trans form is selected for binding. These data suggest that the recognition of the CTD is regulated by independent site-specific modifications (phosphorylation and proline cis-trans isomerization) and, probably, by the local concentration of suitable binding sites.
Figure 1.
Figure 1. Peptides used in this study. In the table (bottom) the first amino acid of each peptide has been aligned to the corresponding position within the first repeat (repeat a). The nomenclature used in the manuscript identifies (i) the amino acid type (ii) its number within the repeat, and (iii) the repeat it belongs to. Phosphorylated residues are indicated in red. A graphical representation of one heptad repeat is shown.

Figure 6. Binding of Pcf11 CID to CTD-derived peptides. (a) 1H-decoupled 1D 31P NMR spectra of YSpPTSPS (top); (YSpPTSPS)[2] (middle); and (YSpPTSPS)[3] (bottom). The downfield peak in the spectrum can be assigned to the 31P resonance of Ser[2a] (S[2a]) as this peak does not change substantially in the three spectra. (b) 1H-decoupled 1D 31P NMR spectra recorded on (YSpPTSPS)[3], alone and with increasing concentration of Pcf11(1 -142) (ratios of 1:0, 1:1 and 1:3, top to bottom). The 31P resonances of Ser[2b] and Ser[2c] (S[2b] and S[2c]) broaden and shift upon protein binding, whereas Ser[2a] (S[2a]) is essentially identical in the free and bound form. (c) Chemical shift perturbation of Pcf11 CID upon binding to (YSpPTSPS)[2] (top) and (YSpPTSPS)[3] (bottom). The weighted chemical shift changes are plotted against the CID sequence. Well-dispersed resonances in the free protein spectrum that could not be assigned in the bound protein spectrum were given a weighted chemical shift change value of 0.5 as default.
