Cryo-Electron Microscopy studies on p53-bound RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) reveal that p53 structurally regulates Pol II to affect its DNA binding and elongation, providing new insights into p53-mediated transcriptional regulation %K p53 %K RNA polymerase II %K 3D structure %K cryo-electron microscopy %K transcription activation %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5834226/
