Abstract Eukaryotic transfer RNA (tRNA) precursors undergo sequential processing steps to become mature tRNAs. In humans, ELAC2 carries out 3′ end processing of

Authors Rengachari S, Hainthaler T, Oberthuer C, Lidschreiber M, Cramer P Journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Citation Nat Struct Mol Biol (2024). Abstract The mechanisms underlying the initiation and elongation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription are well-studied, whereas termination remains poorly understood. Here we analyze the mechanism
