Abstract excerpt

The largest subunit of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II has an unusual tandemly repeated heptapeptide sequence at its carboxyl terminus. The function of this evolutionarily conserved carboxy-terminal domain is unknown; however, new evidence links it to the formation of a large multi-component RNA pol...
