DNA damage-induced transcription stress triggers the genome-wide degradation of promoter-bound Pol II

DNA damage inhibits elongating RNA polymerase II, but also initiates genome-wide transcriptional responses. Here the authors reveal that particularly promoter-bound Pol II is degraded upon DNA damage in a GSK3 signaling-mediated response.
