The chaperonin TRiC/CCT is a large hetero-oligomeric ringed-structure that is essential in eukaryotes. While present in the nucleus, TRiC/CCT is typically considered to function in the cytosol where it mediates nascent polypeptide folding and the assembly/disassembly of protein complexes. Here, we investigated the nuclear role of TRiC/CCT. Inactivation of TRiC/CCT resulted in a significant increase in the production of nascent RNA leading to the accumulation of noncoding transcripts. The influence on transcription was not due to cytoplasmic TRiC/CCT-activities or other nuclear proteins as the effect was observed when TRiC/CCT was evicted from the nucleus and restricted to the cytoplasm. Rather, our data support a direct role of TRiC/CCT in regulating RNA polymerase II activity, as the chaperonin modulated nascent RNA production both in vivo and in vitro. Overall, our studies reveal a new avenue by which TRiC/CCT contributes to cell homeostasis by regulating the activity of nuclear RNA polymerase II.
