The recruitment of TATA binding protein (TBP)
to gene promoters is a critical rate-limiting step in
transcriptional
regulation for all three eukaryotic RNA polymerases.
However, little is known regarding the dynamics of TBP in
live mammalian cells. In this report, we examined the
distribution and dynamic behavior of green fluorescence
protein (GFP)-tagged TBP in live HeLa cells using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) analyses.
We observed that GFP-TBP associates with condensed
chromosomes throughout mitosis without any FRAP. These
results suggest that TBP stably associates with the
condensed chromosomes during mitosis. In addition, endogenous TBP and TBP-associated factors (TAFs), specific
for RNA polymerase II and III transcription, cofractionated
with mitotic chromatin, suggesting that TBP is retained as
a TBP-TAF complex on transcriptionally silent chromatin
throughout mitosis. In interphase cells, GFP-TBP
distributes throughout the nucleoplasm and shows a FRAP
that is 100-fold slower than the general transcription factor GFP-TFIIB. This difference supports the idea that
TBP and, most likely, TBP-TAF complexes, remain promoter-
bound for multiple rounds of transcription. Altogether, our
observations demonstrate that there are cell cycle specific
characteristics in the dynamic behavior of TBP. We propose
a novel model in which the association of TBP-TAF complexes
with chromatin during mitosis marks genes for rapid
transcriptional activation as cells emerge from mitosis.
