Abstract

Background: Distinct termination pathways for yeast RNA polymerase II (RNApII) employ proteins (Nrd1 and Rtt103) recognizing different phospho-forms of the RNApII C-terminal domain (CTD). Results: Alteration of CTD-binding specificity of Nrd1 significantly affects RNApII termination. Conclusion: Differential interaction between RNApII CTD and termination factors is crucial in choosing a termination pathway. Significance: CTD-interacting domain of Nrd1 couples termination and RNA processing by the nuclear exosome.
