Transcription elongation factor S-II

UniProtKB accession:  P07273

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Necessary for efficient RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites. The arresting sites in DNA have the property of trapping a certain fraction of elongating RNA polymerases that pass through, resulting in locked ternary complexes. Cleavage of the nascent transcript by S-II allows the resumption of elongation from the new 3'-terminus.
