| Description: Above, the 3’ terminus of the transcript is in the active site (denoted by Mg2+). Below, the enzyme has slipped backward, leaving the transcript terminus at the end of a nonbase-paired RNA tail, some five nucleotides long. Transcription can resume either by forward sliding of polymerase back to the structure depicted above or, more likely, by cleavage of the non-base-paired part of the transcript, creating a new base-paired 3’ terminus.
