- Oh Y, Yoon J, Baek K. Isolation and characterization of the gene encoding the Drosophila melanogaster transcriptional elongation factor, TFIIS. Biochim Biophys Acta. 1995;1262:99-103 pubmedWe have characterized a genomic clone encoding the Drosophila melanogaster transcriptional elongation factor, TFIIS. The coding region of the TFIIS gene is interrupted by a short intron...
- Guo H, Price D. Mechanism of DmS-II-mediated pause suppression by Drosophila RNA polymerase II. J Biol Chem. 1993;268:18762-70 pubmed..Elongation by the polymerase then allows a second encounter with the pause site and a second chance of passing the site. Complete pause suppression may require multiple transcript shortening events for some polymerase molecules. ..
