Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic transcription termination remains incompletely understood. Using single-molecule fluorescence assays, we examined intrinsic termination by human RNA polymerase III (RNAP3) and identified mechanistic trifurcation leading to readthrough and two termination pathways with distinctive dissociation kinetics. The dominant pathway, decomposing termination, involves (near-)simultaneous dissociation of RNA and...
