RNA polymerase II plays an active role in the formation of gene loops through the Rpb4 subunit

Paula Allepuz‐Fuster, Michael J O’Brien, Noelia González-Polo, Bianca Pereira, Zuzer Dhoondia, Athar Ansari, Olga Calvo

This study shows that the Rpb4 subunit of RNA polymerase II directly participates in gene loop formation by facilitating the TFIIB-Ssu72 interaction, which is essential for gene looping.
