Previous studies have revealed that nucleosomes impede elongation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Recent observations suggest a role for ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers in modulating this process, but direct in vivo evidence for this is unknown. Here using fission yeast, we identify Fun30<sup>Fft3</sup> as a chromatin remodeller, which localizes at transcribing regions to promote RNAPII transcription. Fun30<sup>Fft3</sup> associates with RNAPII and collaborates with the histone chaperone, FAC ...[more]
