RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain: tethering transcription to transcript and template

JL Corden - Chemical reviews, 2013 - ACS Publications
By definition the CTD consists of the amino acid sequences extending from the largest
subunit, RPO21 or RPB1 in yeast and POLR2A in human. Specifically the CTD consists of …

Cell cycle-dependent transcription: the cyclin dependent kinase Cdk1 is a direct regulator of basal transcription machineries

JM Enserink, P Chymkowitch - International Journal of Molecular …, 2022 - mdpi.com

The writers, readers, and functions of the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain code

C Jeronimo, AR Bataille, F Robert - Chemical reviews, 2013 - ACS Publications
Transcription in the nucleus of animal cells is performed by three distinct RNA polymerases
(RNAP), namely RNAPI, RNAPII, and RNAPIII. Among them, RNAPII is responsible for the …

Role of SAGA in the asymmetric segregation of DNA circles during yeast ageing

A Denoth-Lippuner, MK Krzyzanowski, C Stober… - Elife, 2014 - elifesciences.org
In eukaryotes, intra-chromosomal recombination generates DNA circles, but little is known
about how cells react to them. In yeast, partitioning of such circles to the mother cell at …

Mitotic chromosome condensation resets chromatin to safeguard transcriptional homeostasis during interphase

L Ramos-Alonso, P Holland… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Mitotic entry correlates with the condensation of the chromosomes, changes in histone
modifications, exclusion of transcription factors from DNA, and the broad downregulation of …
