Transition from initiation to promoter proximal pausing requires the CTD of RNA polymerase II
The C-terminal domain (CTD) of mammalian RNA polymerase II consists of 52 repeats of the consensus hepta-peptide YSPTSPS, and links transcription to the processing of pre-mRNA. Although Pol II with a CTD shortened to five repeats (Pol II Δ5) is transcriptionally inactive on chromatin templates, it i...
