Trypanosome cdc2-Related Kinase 9 Controls Spliced Leader RNA cap4 Methylation and Phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II Subunit RPB1
12 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Conserved from yeast to mammals, phosphorylation of the heptad repeat sequence Tyr(1)-Ser(2)-Pro(3)-Thr(4)-Ser(5)-Pro(6)-Ser(7) in the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) subunit, RPB1, mediates the enzyme's promoter escape and binding of RNA-processing factors, such as the m(7)G capping enzymes. The first critical step, Ser(5) phosphorylation, is carried out by...
