A pause site for RNA polymerase II is associated with termination of transcription.
Termination of transcription by RNA polymerase II has been postulated to involve a pausing process. We have identified such a pause signal, 350 bp into the 3' flanking region of the human alpha 2 globin gene at a position where termination is thought to occur. We show that this pause signal enh...
