Authors Schilbach S, Aibara S, Dienemann Chr, Grabbe F, Cramer P Journal Cell Citation Cell. 2021 Jun 10:S0092-8674(21)00629-2. Abstract Transcription initiation requires assembly of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pre-initiation complex (PIC) and opening of promoter DNA. Here, we present the long-sought high-resolution structure of the yeast PIC and
