ERK-mediated NELF-A phosphorylation promotes transcription elongation of immediate-early genes by releasing promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II

Growth factor-induced release of RNA Pol-II promoter-proximal pausing is vital for immediate-early gene expression, but its mechanism remains elusive. Here, the authors reveal roles of ERK and PP2A in this process and their dysregulation in cancer.
