Function
TFS2_YEAST Necessary for efficient RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites. The arresting sites in DNA have the property of trapping a certain fraction of elongating RNA polymerases that pass through, resulting in locked ternary complexes. Cleavage of the nascent transcript by S-II allows the resumption of elongation from the new 3'-terminus. Can promote the transfer of one strand of a double-stranded DNA molecule to a homologous single strand and thus may be involved in recombination.
