After heat shock, levels of Ser5-P substantially decrease at the actin promoter, but levels of Cdk7 and cyclin H remain relatively stable. (A) Phosphorylation of Ser5 is significantly decreased at the actin promoter after heat shock. ChIP assays were performed with antibodies against the N-terminus of Rpb1 and Ser5-P at the actin promoter, as well as the N-terminus of Rpb1 in a downstream region of the actin gene. (B) Levels of general transcription factors, including the Cdk7 and cyclin H subunits of TFIIH, do not substantially decrease at the actin promoter after heat shock. ChIP assays were performed with antibodies against the indicated factors.
