Poly(A) signals and transcriptional pause sites combine to prevent interference between RNA polymerase II promoters.

Transcriptional termination by RNA polymerase II at the 3' end of genes encoding poly(A)+ mRNAs is thought to require two distinct cis-active elements: a functional poly(A) signal and a downstream transcriptional pause site. An important requirement for efficient termination is to prevent trans...
