摘要
Since 7SK was discovered as an abundant small nuclear RNA in the mid-70s, its role has remained tantalizingly unsolved. Two recent studies have shown that 7SK acts as a negative regulator of the RNA polymerase II elongation factor P-TEFb, and that this activity is influenced by stress response pathways.
