During transcription, RNA polymerase (Pol) II synthesizes eukaryotic messenger RNA. Transcription is coupled to RNA processing by the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II, which consists of up to 52 repeats of the sequence Tyr 1-Ser 2-Pro 3-Thr 4-Ser 5-Pro 6-Ser 7 (refs 1, 2). After phosphorylation, the CTD binds tightly to a conserved CTD-interacting domain (CID) present in the proteins Pcf11 and Nrd1, which are essential and evolutionarily conserved factors for polyadenylation-dependent…

Role of the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain in transcription termination and function of Spt5 in 3' RNA-processing factor recruitment.
TLDR
Two new aspects of transcription and RNA processing regulation by two different C-terminal repetitive protein domains are characterized, including a new role of the Spt5 CTR in recruitment of RNA 3’-end processing factors.
Snapshots of the RNA Processing Factor SCAF8 Bound to Different Phosphorylated Forms of the Carboxyl-terminal Domain of RNA Polymerase II*
TLDR
It is shown that the human RNA processing factor SCAF8 interacts weakly with the unphosphorylated CTD of Pol II, and motifs within CIDs that are involved in a generic CTD sequence recognition are distinguished from items that confer phospho-specificity.
RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain: Tethering transcription to transcript and template.
TLDR
The ability to separate phosphorylated and unphosphorylated CTD species by SDS gel electrophoresis has allowed the characterization of CTD phosphorylation states established both in vitro and in vivo.
The mammalian RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain interacts with RNA to suppress transcription-coupled 3' end formation.
Distinct roles of Pcf11 zinc-binding domains in pre-mRNA 3′-end processing
TLDR
Evidence is provided for the binding of two Zn2+ atoms to Pcf11, bound to separate zinc-binding domains located on each side of the Clp1 recognition region that contribute to a more complete understanding of the architecture and function of Pcf 11 and its role within the yeast CF IA complex.

Phosphoserines of the carboxy terminal domain of RNA polymerase II are involved in the interaction with transcription-associated proteins (TAPs).
TLDR
Among the different phosphorylated forms of CTD, the form found to have the most affinity for a particular protein was also the form that is predominant during that process, the only exception being the equally high affinity of S2P CTD to Spt4, although S5PCTD is the known active form during elongation.
The RNA polymerase II CTD coordinates transcription and RNA processing.
TLDR
Findings regarding modification and function of the C-terminal domain are reviewed, highlighting the important role this unique domain plays in coordinating gene activity.
RNA polymerase II termination involves C-terminal-domain tyrosine dephosphorylation by CPF subunit Glc 7
TLDR
This work shows that Glc7 is a Tyr1 phosphatase both in vitro and in vivo and investigates the role of CPF in CTD phosphorylation, which is proposed to have a role in 3′-end processing.

RNA-binding protein Nrd1 directs poly(A)-independent 3′-end formation of RNA polymerase II transcripts
TLDR
It is shown that read-through transcription from yeast small nucleolar RNA and small nuclear RNA genes into adjacent genes is prevented by a cis-acting element that is recognized, in part, by the essential RNA-binding protein Nrd1.

TLDR
It is shown that the CTD-interacting domain of SCAF8 specifically binds CTD molecules phosphorylated on serines 2 and 5 of the consensus sequence Tyr1Ser2Pro3Thr4Ser5Pro6Ser7, which indicates a possible role forSCAF8 in linking transcription and pre-mRNA processing.
