IN VIVO ANALYSIS OF THE RNA BINDING DOMAIN OF THE TRANSCRIPTIONAL PAUSING FACTOR, NELF

by John Thomas
NELF is a tetrameric protein required for promoter proximal pausing. NELF-E, subunit of NELF, contains a RRM. There currently lacks compelling evidence to characterize the RRM. Here, we ran an in vivo analysis in Drosophila of the RRM on promoter proximal pausing. We found our experimental design did not function as intended, but we suggest ways this experiment can be rescued.
