    Association with TFIIIC limits MYCN localisation in hubs of active promoters and chromatin accumulation of non-phosphorylated RNA polymerase II

    Raphael Vidal, Eoin Leen ... Gabriele Büchel
    MYCN and TFIIIC exert a censoring function during early transcription, limiting the accumulation of inactive RNAPII at the promoter and facilitating promoter-proximal degradation of nascent RNA.
