Component of RNA polymerase III which synthesizes small RNAs, such as 5S rRNA and tRNAs. Involved in Pol III transcription reinitiation and RNA cleavage during transcription termination. Publication Abstract from PubMed RNA polymerase (Pol) III is specialized to transcribe short, abundant RNAs, for which it terminates transcription on polythymine (dT) stretches on the non-template (NT) strand. When Pol III reaches the termination signal, it pauses and forms the pre-termination complex (PTC). Here, we report cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the yeast Pol III PTC and complementary functional states at resolutions of 2.7-3.9 A. Pol III recognizes the poly(dT) termination signal with subunit C128 that forms a hydrogen-bond network with the NT strand and, thereby, induces pausing. Mutating key interacting residues interferes with transcription termination in vitro, impairs yeast growth, and causes global termination defects in vivo, confirming our structural results. Additional cryo-EM analysis reveals that C53-C37, a Pol III subcomplex and key termination factor, participates indirectly in Pol III termination. We propose a mechanistic model of Pol III transcription termination and rationalize why Pol III, unlike Pol I and Pol II, terminates on poly(dT) signals.
