However, the mechanism by which RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcribes the DNA in the chromatosome has remained enigmatic. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of transcribing RNAPII-chromatosome complexes (forms I and II), in which RNAPII is paused at the entry linker DNA region of the chromatosome due to H1 binding. In the form I complex, the H1 bound to the nucleosome restricts the linker DNA orientation, and the exit linker DNA is captured by the RNAPII DNA binding cleft. In the form II complex, the RNAPII progresses a few bases ahead by releasing the exit linker DNA from the RNAPII cleft, and directly clashes with the H1 bound to the nucleosome. The transcription elongation factor Spt4/5 masks the RNAPII DNA binding region, and drastically reduces the H1-mediated RNAPII pausing. |
