Phosphorylation induces sequence-specific conformational switches in the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain

The RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain acts as a hub to coordinate transcription and nascent mRNA processing. Here the authors identify a phosphorylation-dependent switch in thetrans-to-cisisomerization of proline in the CTD heptad repeats that make those repeats susceptible to further modification...
