Abstract excerpt
The C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II undergoes extensive phosphorylation and dephosphorylation at positions Ser2 and Ser5 during the transcription cycle. A single CTD phosphatase, Fcp1, has been identified in yeast and metazoans. Here we conducted a biochemical characterization of Fcp1 from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The 723-amino acid Fcp1 protein was expressed at high levels in...
