Abstract excerpt
The C-terminal domain (CTD) of mammalian RNA polymerase II (Pol II) consists of 52 repeats of the consensus heptapeptide YSPTSPS and links transcription to the processing of pre-mRNA. The length of the CTD and the number of repeats diverging from the consensus sequence have increased through evolution, but their functional importance remains unknown. Here, we show that the deletion of repeats 1 to 3 or 52 leads...
