Figure 4.
(a) Schematic diagram of Nrd1. RE/RS, arginine-, serine- and glutamate-rich region; P/Q, proline- and glutamine-rich region. (b) Phenotypic analysis of nrd1 6–214 and nrd1 151–214 deletions. The NRD1 plasmid shuffling strain EJS101-9d was transformed with pJC580, pRS415-Nrd1 6–214 or pRS415-Nrd1 151–214, and the wild-type NRD1/URA3 plasmid (pRS316-NRD1) was shuffled out on 5-fluoroorotic acid (5-FOA) medium at the indicated temperatures. (c) Phenotypic analysis of nrd1 6–150 and nrd1 151–214 alleles integrated into the genome. (d) Nrd1 residues 151–214 are responsible for interaction with Nab3. Expression of the wild-type (WT) and mutant TAP-tagged proteins Nrd1, Nrd1 6–214 and Nrd1 151–214 in extracts was monitored by immunoblotting for the Protein A module of the TAP tag (below, -TAP). Nrd1 protein complexes were purified using IgG resin, and association with Nab3 was analyzed with anti-Nab3 antibody (above). Note that the Protein A module on Nrd1 reacts with the secondary antibody. (e) The Nab3 and CTD binding regions of Nrd1 contribute to its interaction with Pol II in vivo.
