  bibo_abstract:
  - RNA polymerase II (Pol II) must be assembled in the cytoplasm before it enters
    the nucleus, where it transcribes protein-coding genes. Although transcription
    by Pol II is intensively studied, how this central multi-subunit enzyme is made
    and the role of dedicated factors remains unclear. Here, we report the integrative
    structural analysis of a native human Pol II from the cytoplasm captured near
    the end of biogenesis. The complex contained Gdown1 and three biogenesis factors
    – RPAP2 and the critical small GTPases GPN1 and GPN3. Cryo-EM analysis of the
    complex revealed how Gdown1 and RPAP2 associate with Pol II and prevent the premature
    association of transcription factors. Further biochemical and cryo-EM analysis
    revealed how RPAP2 recruits GPN1–GPN3 to the complex, and how the assembly of
    the RPAP2–GPN1–GPN3 complex is controlled by GTP hydrolysis. The combined results
    uncover a network of interactions that chaperone cytoplasmic Pol II to prevent
    aberrant interactions, reveal a GTP-controlled switch during the final stages
    of Pol II biogenesis, and suggest a general mechanism for the action of GPN-loop
    GTPase family of enzymes.@eng
