Abstract excerpt
Spt2 is a chromatin component with roles in transcription and posttranscriptional regulation. Recently, we found that Spt2 travels with RNA polymerase II (RNAP II), is involved in elongation, and plays important roles in chromatin modulations associated with this process. In this work, we dissect the function of Spt2 in the repression of SER3. This gene is repressed by a transcription interference mechanism...
