Abstract excerpt
Termination is a ubiquitous phase in every transcription cycle but is incompletely understood and a subject of debate. We used gene editing as a new approach to address its mechanism through engineered conditional depletion of the 5' → 3' exonuclease Xrn2 or the polyadenylation signal (PAS) endonuclease CPSF73 (cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 73). The ability to rapidly control Xrn2 reveals a...
