Abstract
The Integrator complex is a multisubunit complex that participates in the processing of small nuclear RNA molecules in eukaryotic cells by cleaving the 3’ end. In protein-coding genes, Integrator is a key regulator of promoter-proximal pausing, release, and recruitment of RNA polymerase II. Research on Integrator has revealed its critical role in the regulation of gene expression and RNA processing. Dysregulation of the Integrator complex has been implicated in a variety of human diseases including cancer and developmental disorders. Therefore, understanding the structure and function of the Integrator complex is critical to uncovering the mechanisms of gene expression and developing potential therapeutic strategies for related diseases.
期刊介绍:
Functional & Integrative Genomics is devoted to large-scale studies of genomes and their functions, including systems analyses of biological processes. The journal will provide the research community an integrated platform where researchers can share, review and discuss their findings on important biological questions that will ultimately enable us to answer the fundamental question: How do genomes work?
