Also binds the transcribed 5S RNA's. Publication Abstract from PubMed RNA Polymerase III (Pol III) is responsible for transcribing 5S ribosomal RNA (5S rRNA), tRNAs, and other short non-coding RNAs. Its recruitment to the 5S rRNA promoter requires transcription factors TFIIIA, TFIIIC, and TFIIIB. Here we use cryo-electron microscopy to visualize the S. cerevisiae complex of TFIIIA and TFIIIC bound to the promoter. Brf1-TBP binding further stabilizes the DNA, resulting in the full-length 5S rRNA gene wrapping around the complex. Our smFRET study reveals that the DNA undergoes both sharp bending and partial dissociation on a slow timescale, consistent with the model predicted from our cryo-EM results. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanism of how the transcription initiation complex assembles on the 5S rRNA promoter, a crucial step in Pol III transcription regulation.
