title: Sen-sing RNA terminators.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell,Skourti-Stathaki et al. (2011) report that human Senataxin, like its yeast homolog Sen1, promotes termination by RNA polymerase II and resolves RNA/DNA duplexes formed during transcription. Their results may help uncover a cause of motor neuron degeneration.
