IJMS | Free Full-Text | The Link of mRNA and rRNA Transcription by PUF60/FIR through TFIIH/P62 as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Cancer

This study demonstrated the novel coactivation mechanism of mRNA and rRNA underlying the role of FIR and its splicing variant, FIRΔexon2. Because FIR is immunoprecipitated with P89 and P62 of TFIIH [7], FIR potentially affects RNAPII-mediated transcription via TFIIH. As expected, FIR affected the mRNA expression of various cancer-related genes…
