Deskripsi

In plants, 3′ Pol II pausing helps prevent transcriptional interference. Here the authors provide evidence that BORDER proteins are enriched in intergenic regions and inhibit transcriptional interference between closely spaced genes by preventing RNA polymerase from intruding into the promoters of nearby downstream genes.
