A remodeled RNA polymerase II complex catalyzing viroid RNA-templated transcription.
PLoS Pathogens, 2022 Viroids, a fascinating group of plant pathogens, are subviral agents composed of single-stranded circular noncoding RNAs. It is well-known that nuclear-replicating viroids exploit host DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II (Pol II) activity for transcription ...

Structure of the p53/RNA polymerase II assembly
Communications Biology, 2021 Liou et al. report a 4.6 Å resolution structure of the human p53/ RNA polymerase II assembly, using single particle cryoelectron microscopy. This study suggests that p53’s functional domains regulate the DNA binding activity of RNA polymerase II ...

Characterization of RNA polymerases from Rous sarcoma virus-induced mouse ascites sarcoma cells. [PDF]
, 1979 RNA polymerase was extracted from the Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus (SR-RSV)-induced C3H/He mouse ascites sarcoma cells (SR-C3H). RNA polymerase was separated into RNA polymerases I and II by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography.

In vitro Assessment of RNA Polymerase I Activity
Bio-Protocol, 2017 In eukaryotic cells transcriptional processes are carried out by three different RNA polymerases: RNA polymerase I which specifically transcribes ribosomal RNA (rRNA), RNA polymerase II which transcribes protein-coding genes to yield messenger RNAs ...

Genetic dissection of the RNA polymerase II transcription cycle
eLife, 2022 How DNA sequence affects the dynamics and position of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) during transcription remains poorly understood. Here, we used naturally occurring genetic variation in F1 hybrid mice to explore how DNA sequence differences affect the ...

The cloned RNA polymerase II transcription factor IID selects RNA polymerase III to transcribe the human U6 gene in vitro [PDF]
, 1991 Although the human U2 and U6 snRNA genes are transcribed by different RNA polymerases (i.e., RNA polymerases II and III, respectively), their promoters are very similar in structure.

RNA Polymerase II Elongation Control [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2012 Regulation of the elongation phase of transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is utilized extensively to generate the pattern of mRNAs needed to specify cell types and to respond to environmental changes. After Pol II initiates, negative elongation factors cause it to pause in a promoter proximal position. These polymerases are poised to respond to

A comparative study of DNA-dependent RNA polymerases from rat ascites hepatoma cell nuclei and from rat liver nuclei [PDF]
, 1975 DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (EC 2.7.7.6) were extracted and partially purified form the nuclei of rat ascites hepatoma cells (AH-130) induced by 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene.

CDK9-dependent RNA polymerase II pausing controls transcription initiation
eLife, 2017 Gene transcription can be activated by decreasing the duration of RNA polymerase II pausing in the promoter-proximal region, but how this is achieved remains unclear.
