Factor-independent transcription pausing caused by recognition of the RNA–DNA hybrid sequence

RNA polymerase pausing during transcription is implicated in controlling gene expression. This study identifies a new type of pausing mechanism, by which the RNAP core recognizes the shape of base pairs of the RNA–DNA hybrid, which determines the rate of translocation and the nucleotide addition cyc...
