Transcription elongation mechanisms of RNA polymerases I, II, and III and their therapeutic implications

Transcription is a tightly regulated, complex, and essential cellular process in all living organisms. Transcription is comprised of three steps, transcription initiation, elongation, and termination. The distinct transcription initiation and termination mechanisms of eukaryotic RNA polymerases I, II, and III (Pols I, II, and III) have long been appreciated. Recent methodological advances have empowered high-resolution investigations of the Pols' transcription elongation mechanisms. Here, we review the kinetic similarities and differences in the individual steps of Pol I-, II-, and III-catalyzed transcription elongation, including NTP binding, bond formation, pyrophosphate release, and translocation. This review serves as an important summation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) Pol I, II, and III kinetic investigations which reveal that transcription elongation by the Pols is governed by distinct mechanisms. Further, these studies illustrate how basic, biochemical investigations of the Pols can empower the development of chemotherapeutic compounds.
