Bridge helix bending promotes RNA polymerase II backtracking through a critical and conserved threonine residue

RNA Polymerase II can detect and cleave mis-incorporated nucleotides by a proofreading mechanism that requires backtracking of the enzyme. Here the authors show that Pol II backtracking occurs in a stepwise mode that involves two intermediate states where the fraying of the terminal RNA nucleotide i...

Sumario:RNA Polymerase II can detect and cleave mis-incorporated nucleotides by a proofreading mechanism that requires backtracking of the enzyme. Here the authors show that Pol II backtracking occurs in a stepwise mode that involves two intermediate states where the fraying of the terminal RNA nucleotide is a prerequisite.
