The Integrator complex cleaves nascent MtnA RNAs to catalyze premature transcription termination. (A) Northern blotting was used to analyze RNAs generated from the endogenous MtnA locus in DL1 cells treated with the indicated dsRNAs and CuSO4. Full-length MtnA mRNA (black arrow) and Integrator-dependent small RNAs (orange) are indicated. (B) Parental DL1 cells (lanes 1–4) or DL1 cells stably expressing WT (lanes 5–8) or catalytically inactive (lanes 9–12) IntS11 transgenes were treated with the indicated dsRNAs and CuSO4. Northern blotting was then performed as in A.
