Structure and mechanism of the RNA polymerase II CTD phosphatase Scp1 and large-scale preparation of the RNA polymerase II-TFIIF complex [PDF]
TFIIF is the only general transcription factor that has been implicated in the preinitiation complex assembly, open complex formation, initiation and transcription elongation. In addition, TFIIF stimulates Fcp1, a central phosphatase needed for recycling
