U30 of 7SK RNA forms a specific photo-cross-link with Hexim1 in the context of both a minimal RNA-binding site and a fully reconstituted 7SK/Hexim1/P-TEFb ribonucleoprotein complex.

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryotic transcription by RNA polymerase II is a highly regulated process and divided into three major steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. Each step of transcription is controlled by a number of cellular factors. Positive transcription factor b, P-TEFb, is composed of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 and a regulatory cyclin (T1/T2). P-TEFb promotes transcriptional elongation of RNA polymerase II by using...
