Depiction of several events that coincide with the switch from a promoter-engaged “poised” RNA polymerase to an elongating productive RNA polymerase (shown in purple). Histone modifications and changing CTD phosphorylation states are known to be associated with this switch. Furthermore, transcription is intimately coupled to mRNA processing events such as 5′ capping and splicing. (Reprinted, with permission, from Moore and Proudfoot 2009 [© 2009, Elsevier].)
