Abstract excerpt
Transcription progression is governed by multitasking regulators including SPT5, an evolutionarily conserved factor implicated in virtually all transcriptional steps from enhancer activation to termination. Here we utilize a rapid degradation system and reveal crucial functions of SPT5 in maintaining cellular and chromatin RNA polymerase II (Pol II) levels. Rapid SPT5 depletion causes a pronounced reduction of...
