Analysis of gene induction and arrest site transcription in yeast with mutations in the transcription elongation machinery.

Abstract excerpt

In vitro, transcript elongation by RNA polymerase II is impeded by DNA sequences, DNA-bound proteins, and small ligands. Transcription elongation factor SII (TFIIS) assists RNA polymerase II to transcribe through these obstacles. There is however, little direct evidence that SII-responsive arrest sites function in living cells nor that SII facilitates readthrough in vivo. Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains lacking...
