3:30pm – 4:30pm
Dr. David S. Gilmour, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Pennsylvania State University
Host: Dr. Leighton Core
"RNA polymerase II dynamics and its enigmatic carboxy-terminal domain"
Summary: The carboxyl-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II is a nexus for controlling gene expression by associating with proteins involved in transcription, RNA processing and chromatin structure. I will present our work with Drosophila to investigate its function and results that lead us to propose that the CTD functions as a signal sequence to direct RNA polymerase II to transcription compartments.
