Architecture of RNA polymerase II and implications for the transcription mechanism

P Cramer, DA Bushnell, J Fu, AL Gnatt, B Maier-Davis… - science, 2000 - science.org
A backbone model of a 10-subunit yeast RNA polymerase II has been derived from x-ray
diffraction data extending to 3 angstroms resolution. All 10 subunits exhibit a high degree of …

Structural basis of transcription: an RNA polymerase II elongation complex at 3.3 Å resolution

AL Gnatt, P Cramer, J Fu, DA Bushnell, RD Kornberg - Science, 2001 - science.org
The crystal structure of RNA polymerase II in the act of transcription was determined at 3.3 Å
resolution. Duplex DNA is seen entering the main cleft of the enzyme and unwinding before …

Structural basis of Integrator-mediated transcription regulation

…, O Dybkov, A Linden, H Urlaub, P Cramer - Science, 2021 - science.org
Integrator and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) form a complex that dephosphorylates paused
RNA polymerase II (Pol II), cleaves the nascent RNA, and terminates transcription. We …
