<h2 id="discovery">Discovery</h2> <p>Early studies suggested a minimum of two RNAPs: one which synthesized rRNA in the <a href="/facts/Nucleolus/X7B5HKM4">nucleolus</a>, and one which synthesized other RNA in the <a href="/facts/Nucleoplasm/PNGpzgCK">nucleoplasm</a>, part of the nucleus but outside the nucleolus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> In 1969, biochemists <a href="/facts/Robert_G._Roeder/5Ubar4KN">Robert G.

It has a <a href="/facts/Michaelis%25E2%2580%2593Menten_constant/lYFykW3p"><i>K</i>m</a> (substrate concentration required for one-half <i>V</i>max) and a <i>k</i>cat (the number of substrate molecules handled by one active site per second). The specificity constant is given by <i>k</i>cat/<i>K</i>m. The theoretical maximum for the specificity constant is the diffusion limit of about 108 to 109 (<i>M</i>−1<i>s</i>−1), where every collision of the enzyme with its substrate results in catalysis.

The carboxy-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II typically consists of up to 52 repeats of the sequence Tyr-Ser-Pro-Thr-Ser-Pro-Ser.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49"><sup>49</sup></a> The domain stretches from the core of the RNAPII enzyme to the exit channel, this placement is effective due to its inductions of "RNA processing reactions, through direct or indirect interactions with components of the RNA processing machinery".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50"><sup>50</sup></a> The CTD domain does not exist in RNA Polymerase I or RNA Polymerase III.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51"><sup>51</sup></a> The RNA Polymerase CTD was discovered first in the laboratory of C. J. Ingles at the University of Toronto and also in the laboratory of J Corden at Johns Hopkins University during the processes of sequencing the DNA encoding the RPB1 subunit of RNA polymerase from yeast and mice respectively. Other proteins often bind the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase in order to activate polymerase activity. It is the protein domain that is involved in the <a href="/facts/DNA_transcription/bDgp9HDN">initiation</a> of transcription, the <a href="/facts/5%2527_cap/cWUeEBJ6">capping</a> of the <a href="/facts/Messenger_RNA/oUL6qxQn">RNA transcript</a>, and attachment to the <a href="/facts/Spliceosome/H3nnb6rd">spliceosome</a> for <a href="/facts/RNA_splicing/a2QEvCRI">RNA splicing</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52"><sup>52</sup></a> </p> <h4>Phosphorylation of the CTD</h4> <p>RNA Polymerase II exists in two forms unphosphorylated and phosphorylated, IIA and IIO respectively.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53"><sup>53</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54"><sup>54</sup></a> The transition between the two forms facilitates different functions for transcription. The <a href="/facts/Phosphorylation/LXUEEeIL">phosphorylation</a> of CTD is catalyzed by one of the six <a href="/facts/General_transcription_factor/Vuh1hhLy">general transcription factors</a>, <a href="/facts/TFIIH/WEEGDfKj">TFIIH</a>. TFIIH serves two purposes: one is to unwind the DNA at the transcription start site and the other is to phosphorylate. The form polymerase IIA joins the preinitiation complex, this is suggested because IIA binds with higher affinity to the TBP (<a href="/facts/Tata-box_binding_protein/3paQrYHT">TATA-box binding protein</a>), the subunit of the general transcription factor <a href="/facts/TFIID/Qh37Uv7y">TFIID</a>, than polymerase IIO form. The form polymerase IIO facilitates the elongation of the RNA chain.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55"><sup>55</sup></a> The method for the elongation initiation is done by the phosphorylation of <a href="/facts/Serine/4duVl30B">serine</a> at position 5 (Ser5), via TFIIH. The newly phosphorylated Ser5 recruits enzymes to cap the 5' end of the newly synthesized RNA and the "3' processing factors to <a href="/facts/Poly(A)_tail/ILnXUBKP">poly(A)</a> sites".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56"><sup>56</sup></a> Once the second serine is phosphorylated, Ser2, elongation is activated. In order to terminate elongation dephosphorylation must occur. Once the domain is completely dephosphorylated the RNAP II enzyme is "recycled" and catalyzes the same process with another initiation site.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57"><sup>57</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="transcription-coupled-recombinational-repair">Transcription coupled recombinational repair</h2> <p><a href="/facts/DNA_oxidation/3KCAWz3x">Oxidative DNA damage</a> may block RNA polymerase II <a href="/facts/Transcription_(biology)/bDgp9HDN">transcription</a> and cause strand breaks.
