Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: During transcription elongation, RNA polymerase II is arrested on the template when incorrect ribonucleotides are incorporated into the nascent transcripts. Transcription factor S-II enhances the excision of these mis-incorporated nucleotides by RNA polymerase II and stimulates transcription elongation in vitro. This mechanism is considered to be transcriptional proof-reading, but its physiological...
