Yeast RNAPII termination at snoRNA genes. Termination at terminator I (TI), the major termination site, is Nrd1-binding-dependent. The Nrd1 complex interacts with the Ser5-phosphorylated CTD and with the TRAMP and exosome complexes. The cleavage/polyadenylation machinery (CPF and CFIA) is not required for termination at TI (drawn as blurry complexes). Termination at terminator II (TII) involves cleavage/polyadenylation factors, while the Nrd1–TRAMP–exosome complex appears inactive in that process (blurry complexes). SnoRNA transcription couples termination with RNA surveillance. After release of the precursor, Trf4 and Pap1 adenylates the pre-snoRNA that will be processed by the exosome. Other factors shown to have a role in snoRNA termination are indicated. These include Pcf11, Paf1C, and the RNAPII subunits Rpb3 and Rpb11.
