Mutations in RRP6 result in the accumulation of aberrant polyadenylated transcripts from small nucleolar RNA genes. We exploited this observation to search for novel noncoding RNA genes in the yeast genome. When RNA from rrp6Delta yeast is compared with wild-type on whole-genome microarrays, numerous intergenic loci exhibit an increased mutant/wild type signal ratio. Among these loci, we found one encoding a new C/D box small nucleolar RNA, as well as a surprising number that gave rise to heterogeneous Trf4p-polyadenylated RNAs with lengths of approximately 250-500 nt. This class of RNAs is not easily detected in wild-type cells and appears associated with promoters. Fine mapping of several such transcripts shows they originate near known promoter elements but do not usually extend far enough to act as mRNAs, and may regulate the transcription of downstream mRNAs. Rather than being uninformative transcriptional "noise," we hypothesize that these transcripts reflect important features of RNA polymerase activity at the promoter. This activity is normally undetectable in wild-type cells because the transcripts are somehow distinguished from true mRNAs and are degraded in an Rrp6p-dependent fashion in the nucleus.
