RNA polymerase II CTD Ser5 phosphorylation induces competing effects of expansion and compaction

Maurice Cohen, Wei Chen, Sophia M. Dewing…·K. Aurelia Ball

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that Ser5 phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II CTD causes both expansion and compaction through electrostatic repulsion and cis-Pro6 stabilization.
