摘要
How does the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II interact specifically with multiple targets? A recent paper describing the structure of this domain with a mRNA capping enzyme guanylyltransferase suggests that the CTD is a contortionist that, upon post-translational modification, adopts different configurations specifically recognized by its partners.
