Figure 6. TFIIS-Induced RNA RealignmentSelected elements in the pol II active center that move upon TFIIS binding are shown. The bridge helix, DNA, and RNA in the pol II-bubble-RNA-TFIIS complex are in green, blue, and red, respectively. The TFIIS hairpin is in orange with the two acidic functionally essential and invariant residues in green. Nucleic acids in the pol II-bubble-RNA complex structure after superposition of residues in the active site aspartate loop or in switch 2 are shown in beige and gray, respectively. Switch 2 moves slightly upon TFIIS binding (Kettenberger et al., 2003), explaining the difference in the two superpositions.
