title: Regulation of transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II.
abstract: The process of transcription is a cycle of initiation, elongation and termination steps. Initiation and elongation can be rate-limiting for RNA synthesis, and recent evidence shows that transactivators can stimulate both these steps. A stable modification of the RNA polymerase II complex is probably required to convert it from a non-processive to a processive from.
