A protein-binding site in the c-myc promoter functions as a terminator of RNA polymerase II transcription.

Abstract excerpt

Termination of transcription not only allows polymerases that have completed RNA synthesis to recycle, but it also has important functions in transcriptional regulation and in preventing promoter interference. The molecular basis for termination by RNA polymerase II (pol II) is unclear, however. We have identified a termination site in the promoter region of the c-myc gene, whose function correlates with DNA...
