Abstract
Bud27 is a prefoldin-like protein that participates in transcriptional regulation mediated by the three RNA polymerases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Lack of Bud27 significantly affects RNA pol III transcription, although the involved mechanisms have not been characterized. Here, we show that Bud27 regulates the phosphorylation state of the RNA pol III transcriptional repressor, Maf1, influences its nuclear localization, and likely its activity. We demonstrate that Bud27 is associated with the Maf1 main phosphatase PP4 in vivo, and that this interaction is required for proper Maf1 dephosphorylation. Lack of Bud27 decreases the interaction among PP4 and Maf1, Maf1 dephosphorylation, and its nuclear entry. Our data uncover a new nuclear function of Bud27, identify PP4 as a novel Bud27 interactor and demonstrate the effect of this prefoldin-like protein on the posttranslational regulation of Maf1. Finally, our data reveal a broader effect of Bud27 on PP4 activity by influencing, at least, the phosphorylation of Rad53.

Abstract
The tripartite interaction between the chromatin remodeler complex RSC, RNA polymerase subunit Rpb5 and prefoldin-like Bud27 is necessary for proper RNA pol II elongation. Indeed lack of Bud27 alters this association and affects transcription elongation. This work investigates the consequences of lack of Bud27 on the chromatin association of RSC and RNA pol II, and on nucleosome positioning. Our results demonstrate that RSC binds chromatin in gene bodies and lack of Bud27 alters this association, mainly around polyA sites. This alteration impacts chromatin organization and leads to the accumulation of RNA pol II molecules around polyA sites, likely due to pausing or arrest. Our data suggest that RSC is necessary to maintain chromatin organization around those sites, and any alteration of this organization results in the widespread use of alternative polyA sites. Finally, we also find a similar molecular phenotype that occurs upon TOR inhibition with rapamycin, which suggests that alternative polyadenylation observed upon TOR inhibition is likely Bud27-dependent.

Abstract
The prefoldin-like protein UNCONVENTIONAL PREFOLDIN RPB5 INTERACTOR (URI) participates in diverse cellular functions, including protein homeostasis, transcription, translation, and signal transduction. Thus, URI is a highly versatile protein, although the molecular basis of this versatility remains unknown. In this work, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) URI (AtURI) possesses a large intrinsically disordered region (IDR) spanning most of the C-terminal part of the protein, a feature conserved in yeast and human orthologs. Our findings reveal two key characteristics of disordered proteins in AtURI: promiscuity in interacting with partners and protein instability. We propose that these two features contribute to providing AtURI with functional versatility.

Abstract
Prefoldins (PFDs) are ubiquitous co-chaperone proteins that originated in archaea during evolution and are present in all eukaryotes, including yeast, mammals, and plants. Typically, prefoldin subunits form hexameric PFD complex (PFDc) that, together with class II chaperonins, mediate the folding of nascent proteins, such as actin and tubulin. In addition to functioning as a co-chaperone in cytoplasm, prefoldin subunits are also localized in the nucleus, which is essential for transcription and post-transcription regulation. However, the specific and critical roles of prefoldins in plants have not been well summarized. In this review, we present an overview of plant prefoldin and its related proteins, summarize the structure of prefoldin/prefoldin-like complex (PFD/PFDLc), and analyze the versatile landscape by prefoldin subunits, from cytoplasm to nucleus regulation. We also focus the specific role of prefoldin-mediated phytohormone response and global plant development. Finally, we overview the emerging prefoldin-like (PFDL) subunits in plants and the novel roles in related processes, and discuss the next direction in further studies.

Abstract
Bud27 is a prefoldin-like, a member of the family of ATP-independent molecular chaperones that associates with RNA polymerases I, II, and III in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Bud27 and its human ortholog URI perform several functions in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Both proteins participate in the TOR signaling cascade by coordinating nutrient availability with gene expression, and lack of Bud27 partially mimics TOR pathway inactivation. Bud27 regulates the transcription of the three RNA polymerases to mediate the synthesis of ribosomal components for ribosome biogenesis through the TOR cascade. This work presents a high-copy suppression screening of the temperature sensitivity of the bud27Δ mutant. It shows that Bud27 influences different TOR-dependent processes. Our data also suggest that Bud27 can impact some of these TOR-dependent processes: cell wall integrity and autophagy induction.

Abstract
Prefoldins (PFDNs) are evolutionary conserved co-chaperones, initially discovered in archaea but universally present in eukaryotes. PFDNs are prevalently organized into hetero-hexameric complexes. Although they have been overlooked since their discovery and their functions remain elusive, several reports indicate they act as co-chaperones escorting misfolded or non-native proteins to group II chaperonins. Unlike the eukaryotic PFDNs which interact with cytoskeletal components, the archaeal PFDNs can bind and stabilize a wide range of substrates, possibly due to their great structural diversity. The discovery of the unconventional RPB5 interactor (URI) PFDN-like complex (UPC) suggests that PFDNs have versatile functions and are required for different cellular processes, including an important role in cancer. Here, we summarize their functions across different species. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis of PFDNs genomic alterations across cancer types by using large-scale cancer genomic data indicates that PFDNs are a new class of non-mutated proteins significantly overexpressed in some cancer types.

Abstract
The domain of transcription regulation has been notoriously difficult to annotate in the Gene Ontology, partly because of the intricacies of gene regulation which involve molecular interactions with DNA as well as amongst protein complexes. The molecular function 'transcription coregulator activity' is a part of the biological process 'regulation of transcription, DNA-templated' that occurs in the cellular component 'chromatin'. It can mechanistically link sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor (dbTF) regulatory DNA target sites to coactivator and corepressor target sites through the molecular function 'cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding'. Many questions arise about transcription coregulators (coTF). Here, we asked how many unannotated, putative coregulators can be identified in protein complexes? Therefore, we mined the CORUM and hu.MAP protein complex databases with known and strongly presumed human transcription coregulators. In addition, we trawled the BioGRID and IntAct molecular interaction databases for interactors of the known 1457 human dbTFs annotated by the GREEKC and GO consortia. This yielded 1093 putative transcription factor coregulator complex subunits, of which 954 interact directly with a dbTF. This substantially expands the set of coTFs that could be annotated to 'transcription coregulator activity' and sets the stage for renewed annotation and wet-lab research efforts. To this end, we devised a prioritisation score based on existing GO annotations of already curated transcription coregulators as well as interactome representation. Since all the proteins that we mined are parts of protein complexes, we propose to concomitantly engage in annotation of the putative transcription coregulator-containing complexes in the Complex Portal database.

Abstract
AbstractRpb5 is one of the five common subunits to all eukaryotic RNA polymerases, which is conserved in archaea, but not in bacteria. Among these common subunits, it is the only one that is not interchangeable between yeasts and humans, and accounts for the functional incompatibility of yeast and human subunits. Rpb5 has been proposed to contribute to the gene-specific activation of RNA pol II, notably during the infectious cycle of the hepatitis B virus, and also to participate in general transcription mediated by all eukaryotic RNA pol. The structural analysis of Rpb5 and its interaction with different transcription factors, regulators and DNA, accounts for Rpb5 being necessary to maintain the correct conformation of the shelf module of RNA pol II, which favors the proper organization of the transcription bubble and the clamp closure of the enzyme.In this work we provide details about subunit Rpb5's structure, conservation and the role it plays in transcription regulation by analyzing the different interactions with several factors, as well as its participation in the assembly of the three RNA pols, in cooperation with prefoldin-like Bud27/URI.

Abstract
Eukaryotic RNA polymerases (RNA pols) transcriptional processes have been extensively investigated, and the structural analysis of eukaryotic RNA pols has been explored. However, the global assembly and biogenesis of these heteromultimeric complexes have been narrowly studied. Despite nuclear transcription being carried out by three RNA polymerases in eukaryotes (five in plants) with specificity in the synthesis of different RNA types, the biogenesis process has been proposed to be similar, at least for RNA pol II, to that of bacteria, which contains only one RNA pol. The formation of three different interacting subassembly complexes to conform the complete enzyme in the cytoplasm, prior to its nuclear import, has been assumed. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, recent studies have examined in depth the biogenesis of RNA polymerases by characterizing some elements involved in the assembly of these multisubunit complexes, some of which are conserved in humans. This study reviews the latest studies governing the mechanisms and proteins described as being involved in the biogenesis of RNA polymerases in yeast.

Abstract
Understanding the functional connection that occurs for the three nuclear RNA polymerases to synthesize ribosome components during the ribosome biogenesis process has been the focal point of extensive research. To preserve correct homeostasis on the production of ribosomal components, cells might require the existence of proteins that target a common subunit of these RNA polymerases to impact their respective activities. This work describes how the yeast prefoldin-like Bud27 protein, which physically interacts with the Rpb5 common subunit of the three RNA polymerases, is able to modulate the transcription mediated by the RNA polymerase I, likely by influencing transcription elongation, the transcription of the RNA polymerase III, and the processing of ribosomal RNA. Bud27 also regulates both RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription of ribosomal proteins and ribosome biogenesis regulon genes, likely by occupying their DNA ORFs, and the processing of the corresponding mRNAs. With RNA polymerase II, this association occurs in a transcription rate-dependent manner. Our data also indicate that Bud27 inactivation alters the phosphorylation kinetics of ribosomal protein S6, a readout of TORC1 activity. We conclude that Bud27 impacts the homeostasis of the ribosome biogenesis process by regulating the activity of the three RNA polymerases and, in this way, the synthesis of ribosomal components. This quite likely occurs through a functional connection of Bud27 with the TOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
Diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) are among the most prevalent marine toxins in Europe's and in other temperate coastal regions. These toxins are produced by several dinoflagellate species; however, the contamination of the marine trophic chain is often attributed to species of the genus Dinophysis. This group of toxins, constituted by okadaic acid (OA) and analogous molecules (dinophysistoxins, DTXs), are highly harmful to humans, causing severe poisoning symptoms caused by the ingestion of contaminated seafood. Knowledge on the mode of action and toxicology of OA and the chemical characterization and accumulation of DSTs in seafood species (bivalves, gastropods and crustaceans) has significantly contributed to understand the impacts of these toxins in humans. Considerable information is however missing, particularly at the molecular and metabolic levels involving toxin uptake, distribution, compartmentalization and biotransformation and the interaction of DSTs with aquatic organisms. Recent contributions to the knowledge of DSTs arise from transcriptomics and proteomics research. Indeed, OMICs constitute a research field dedicated to the systematic analysis on the organisms' metabolisms. The methodologies used in OMICs are also highly effective to identify critical metabolic pathways affecting the physiology of the organisms. In this review, we analyze the main contributions provided so far by OMICs to DSTs research and discuss the prospects of OMICs with regard to the DSTs toxicology and the significance of these toxins to public health, food safety and aquaculture.

Abstract
Wdr92 is associated with the multifunctional cochaperone, R2TP, but its function is unknown. In this study, the authors show that Drosophila Wdr92 is exclusively required for preassembly of ciliary dynein motor complexes, which are confined to sensory neuron ciliary dendrites and sperm flagella. Wdr92 is proposed to direct R2TP/HSP90 to dynein chain clients to chaperone cytoplasmic preassembly. The massive dynein motor complexes that drive ciliary and flagellar motility require cytoplasmic preassembly, a process requiring dedicated dynein assembly factors (DNAAFs). How DNAAFs interact with molecular chaperones to control dynein assembly is not clear. By analogy with the well-known multifunctional HSP90-associated cochaperone, R2TP, several DNAAFs have been suggested to perform novel R2TP-like functions. However, the involvement of R2TP itself (canonical R2TP) in dynein assembly remains unclear. Here we show that in Drosophila melanogaster, the R2TP-associated factor, Wdr92, is required exclusively for axonemal dynein assembly, likely in association with canonical R2TP. Proteomic analyses suggest that in addition to being a regulator of R2TP chaperoning activity, Wdr92 works with the DNAAF Spag1 at a distinct stage in dynein preassembly. Wdr92/R2TP function is likely distinct from that of the DNAAFs proposed to form dynein-specific R2TP-like complexes. Our findings thus establish a connection between dynein assembly and a core multifunctional cochaperone.

Abstract
Rpb5 is one of the five common subunits to all eukaryotic RNA polymerases, which is conserved in archaea, but not in bacteria. Among these common subunits, it is the only one that is not interchangeable between yeasts and humans, and accounts for the functional incompatibility of yeast and human subunits. Rpb5 has been proposed to contribute to the gene-specific activation of RNA pol II, notably during the infectious cycle of the hepatitis B virus, and also to participate in general transcription mediated by all eukaryotic RNA pol. The structural analysis of Rpb5 and its interaction with different transcription factors, regulators and DNA, accounts for Rpb5 being necessary to maintain the correct conformation of the shelf module of RNA pol II, which favors the proper organization of the transcription bubble and the clamp closure of the enzyme. In this work we provide details about subunit Rpb5's structure, conservation and the role it plays in transcription regulation by analyzing the different interactions with several factors, as well as its participation in the assembly of the three RNA pols, in cooperation with prefoldin-like Bud27/URI.

Abstract
Prefoldin is a co-chaperone that evolutionarily originates in archaea, is universally present in all eukaryotes and acts as a co-chaperone by facilitating the supply of unfolded or partially folded substrates to class II chaperonins. Eukaryotic prefoldin is known mainly for its functional relevance in the cytoplasmic folding of actin and tubulin monomers during cytoskeleton assembly. However, the role of prefoldin in chaperonin-mediated folding is not restricted to cytoskeleton components, but extends to both the assembly of other cytoplasmic complexes and the maintenance of functional proteins by avoiding protein aggregation and facilitating proteolytic degradation. Evolution has favoured the diversification of prefoldin subunits, and has allowed the so-called prefoldin-like complex, with specialised functions, to appear. Subunits of both canonical and prefoldin-like complexes have also been found in the nucleus of yeast and metazoan cells, where they have been functionally connected with different gene expression steps. Plant prefoldin has also been detected in the nucleus and is physically associated with a gene regulator. Here we summarise information available on the functional involvement of prefoldin in gene expression, and discuss the implications of these results for the relationship between prefoldin structure and function.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are key players in proteostasis, the balance between protein synthesis, folding, assembly and degradation. They are helped by a plethora of cofactors termed cochaperones, which direct chaperones towards any of these different, sometime opposite pathways. One of these is prefoldin (PFD), present in eukaryotes and in archaea, a heterohexamer whose best known role is the assistance to group II chaperonins (the Hsp60 chaperones found in archaea and the eukaryotic cytosolic) in the folding of proteins in the cytosol, in particular cytoskeletal proteins. However, over the last years it has become evident a more complex role for this cochaperone, as it can adopt different oligomeric structures, form complexes with other proteins and be involved in many other processes, both in the cytosol and in the nucleus, different from folding. This review intends to describe the structure and the many functions of this interesting macromolecular complex.

Abstract
Bud27 and its human orthologue URI (unconventional prefoldin RPB5-interactor) are members of the prefoldin (PFD) family of ATP-independent molecular chaperones binding the Rpb5 subunit to all three nuclear eukaryotic RNA polymerases (RNA pols). Bud27/URI are considered to function as a scaffold protein able to assemble additional members of the prefoldin (PDF) family in both human and yeast. Bud27 and URI are not subunits of the canonical PFD/GimC complex and not only the composition but also other functions independent of the PFD/GimC complex have been described for Bud27 and URI. Bud27 interacts only with Pfd6 but no other components of the R2TP/PFDL. Furthermore previously reported interaction between Bud27 and Pfd2 was not later confirmed. These results point to major differences in the prefoldin-like complex composition between yeast and other organisms, suggesting also important differences in functions. Furthermore, this assumption could be extended to the R2TP/PFDL complex, which has been shown to differ between different organisms and has not been identified in yeast. This casts doubt on whether Bud27 cooperation with prefoldin and other components of the R2TP/PFDL modules are required for its action. This could be extended to URI and point to a role of Bud27/URI in cell functions more relevant than this previously proposed as co-prefoldin.

Abstract
URI (unconventional prefoldin RPB5 interactor protein) is an unconventional prefoldin, RNA polymerase II interactor that functions as a transcriptional repressor and is part of a larger nuclear protein complex. The components of this complex and the mechanism of transcriptional repression have not been characterized. Here we show that KAP1 (KRAB-associated protein 1) and the protein phosphatase PP2A interact with URI. Mechanistically, we show that KAP1 phosphorylation is decreased following recruitment of PP2A by URI. We functionally characterize the novel URI-KAP1-PP2A complex, demonstrating a role of URI in retrotransposon repression, a key function previously demonstrated for the KAP1-SETDB1 complex. Microarray analysis of annotated transposons revealed a selective increase in the transcription of LINE-1 and L1PA2 retroelements upon knockdown of URI. These data unveil a new nuclear function of URI and identify a novel post-transcriptional regulation of KAP1 protein that may have important implications in reactivation of transposable elements in prostate cancer cells.

Abstract
Prefoldin is a hexameric molecular chaperone complex present in all eukaryotes and archaea. The evolution of this gene family in plants is unknown. Here, I identified 140 prefoldin genes in 14 plant species. These prefoldin proteins were divided into nine groups through phylogenetic analysis. Highly conserved gene organization and motif distribution exist in each prefoldin group, implying their functional conservation. I also observed the segmental duplication of maize prefoldin gene family. Moreover, a few functional divergence sites were identified within each group pairs. Functional network analyses identified 78 co-expressed genes, and most of them were involved in carrying, binding and kinase activity. Divergent expression profiles of the maize prefoldin genes were further investigated in different tissues and development periods and under auxin and some abiotic stresses. I also found a few cis-elements responding to abiotic stress and phytohormone in the upstream sequences of the maize prefoldin genes. The results provided a foundation for exploring the characterization of the prefoldin genes in plants and will offer insights for additional functional studies.

Abstract
Yeast Bud27, an unconventional prefoldin is reported to affect the expression of nutrient-responsive genes, translation initiation and assembly of the multi-subunit eukaryotic RNA polymerases (pols), at a late step. We found that Bud27 associates with pol III in active as well as repressed states. Pol III transcription and occupancy at the target genes reduce with the deletion of BUD27. It promotes the interaction of pol III with the chromatin remodeler RSC found on most of the pol III targets, and with the heat shock protein Ssa4, which helps in nuclear import of the assembled pol III. Under nutrient-starvation, Ssa4-pol III interaction increases, while pol III remains inside the nucleus. Bud27 but not Ssa4 is required for RSC-pol III interaction, which reduces under nutrient-starvation. In the bud27Δ cells, total protein level of the largest pol III subunit Rpc160 but not of Rpc128, Rpc34 and Rpc53 subunits is reduced. This is accompanied by lower transcription of RPC128 gene and lower RPC160 translation due to reduced association of mRNA with the ribosomes. The resultant alteration in the normal cellular ratio of the two largest subunits of pol III core leads to reduced association of other pol III subunits and hampers the normal assembly of pol III at an early step in the cytoplasm. Our results show that Bud27 is required in multiple activities responsible for pol III biogenesis and activity.

Abstract
Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare type of cancer and accounts for 5% of uterine malignancies. However, UCS patients suffer a high prevalence of chemo-resistance and a very poor prognosis compared to uterine cancer patients. URI is a chaperone with functions in transcription. We analyzed the somatic URI1 copy number variation in 57 post-menopausal non-metastatic UCS patients in comparison to 363 uterine corpus endometrial carcinomas. URI1 amplification was detected in 40% (23/57) of primary UCS and 5.5% (20/363) of uterine carcinomas. UCS patients with URI1 amplification exhibited 13% (3/23) tumor-free survival compared to 41% (14/34) in the absence of URI amplification (P=0.023). URI1 amplification (OR=6.54, P=0.027), weight (OR=1.068, P=0.024), hypertension (OR=3.35, P=0.044), and tumor stage (OR=2.358, P=0.018) associated with poor survival. Patients treated with hormone replacement therapy (OR=15.87, P=0.011) displayed enhanced overall survival. Combined radiation and chemotherapy improved patient survival (median survival=2043 days) compared to single (median survival=597 days) or no treatment (median survival=317 days, P=0.0016). Importantly, patients with URI1 amplification had poor response to adjuvant treatment compared to control group (P=0.013). Tumors with URI1 amplification displayed decreased transcription of genes encoding tumor suppressor and apoptotic regulators and increased expression of genes regulating oncogenesis, survival and metastasis. Overexpression of URI1 in a cultured cell model induced ATM expression and resistance to cisplatin. Our findings suggest that high prevalence in UCS may associate with poor prognosis and worse response to adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
The archaeal genome is organized by either eukaryotic-like histone proteins or bacterial-like nucleoid-associated proteins. Recent studies have revealed novel insights into chromatin dynamics and their effect on gene expression in archaeal model organisms. In this Progress article, we discuss the interplay between chromatin proteins, such as histones and Alba, and components of the basal transcription machinery, as well as between chromatin structure and gene-specific transcription factors in archaea. Such an interplay suggests that chromatin might have a role in regulating gene expression on both a global and a gene-specific level. Moreover, several archaeal transcription factors combine a global gene regulatory role with an architectural role, thus contributing to chromatin organization and compaction, as well as gene expression. We describe the emerging principles underlying how these factors cooperate in nucleoid structuring and gene regulation.
