Figure 5.
A model offering a mechanistic explanation for the role of light-strand transcription pausing. Presented are the stages right after transcription initiation of the light strand, as well as the suggested role for our discovered transcription pausing site. (Alternative products) Replication-based and transcription-based products (i.e., DNA and RNA products, respectively) of the light-strand promoter, as both require the same light-strand RNA primer (∼120 nt in length).
