Abstract

Rad14p is a DNA damage recognition factor in nucleotide excision repair. Intriguingly, we show here that Rad14p associates with the promoter of a galactose-inducible GAL1 gene after transcriptional induction in the absence of DNA lesion. Such an association of Rad14p facilitates the recruitment of TBP, TFIIH, and RNA polymerase II to the GAL1 promoter. Furthermore, the association of RNA polymerase II with the GAL1 promoter is significantly decreased in the absence of Rad14p, when the coding sequence was deleted. These results support the role of Rad14p in transcriptional initiation. Consistently, the level of GAL1 mRNA is significantly decreased in the absence of Rad14p. Similar results are also obtained at other galactose-inducible GAL genes such as GAL7 and GAL10. Likewise, Rad14p promotes transcription of other non-GAL genes such as CUP1, CTT1, and STL1 after transcriptional induction. However, the effect of Rad14p on the steady-state levels of transcription of GAL genes or constitutively active genes such as ADH1, PGK1, PYK1, and RPS5 is not observed. Thus, Rad14p promotes initial transcription but does not appear to regulate the steady-state level. Collectively, our results unveil a new role of Rad14p in stimulating transcription in addition to its well-known function in nucleotide excision repair.
