Cancer Institute Seminar Series - Dr Shona Murphy

The carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (pol II) is subject to multiple dynamic modifications during the transcription cycle, including phosphorylation by kinases. These CTD kinases are important for co-transcriptional RNA processing and control of elongation of transcription. Dr Murphy and her team have been investigating the effects of short term inhibition of CTD kinases on transcription and CTD phosphorylation by mNET-seq and have uncovered new connections between transcription and RNA processing.
