Cdk9 regulates a promoter-proximal checkpoint to modulate RNA polymerase II elongation rate in fission yeast
While post-translational modifications of the RNA polymerase II complex regulate gene expression, the exact mechanism remains unknown. Here, the authors use altered-specificity kinase mutations to examine the role of Cdk9, Mcs6/Cdk7, and Lsk1/Cdk12 on transcription at base-pair resolution in yeast.
