Authors Farnung L, Ochmann M, Garg G, Vos SM, Cramer P Journal Molecular Cell Citation Mol Cell. 2022 Jul 13:S1097-2765(22)00610-4. Abstract During gene transcription, RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) passes nucleosomes with the help of various elongation factors. Here, we show that RNA Pol II achieves efficient nucleosome passage

Authors Chen Y, Vos SM, Dienemann C, Ninov M, Urlaub H, Cramer P Journal Molecular Cell Citation Molecular Cell (2021). In press. Abstract The super elongation complex (SEC) contains the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) and the subcomplex ELL2-EAF1, which stimulates RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) elongation. Here,

Authors Žumer K, Maier KC, Farnung L, Jaeger MG, Rus P, Winter G, Cramer P Journal Molecular Cell Citation Mol Cell. 2021 Jun 17:S1097-2765(21)00441-X. In press. Abstract Transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) relies on the elongation factors PAF1 complex (PAF), RTF1, and SPT6. Here, we use rapid
