CID (CTD-Interacting Domain) of yeast transcription termination factor Rtt103 and similar proteins Yeast transcription termination factor Rtt103 is a CID (CTD-Interacting Domain) containing protein that functions in DNA damage response. It associates with sites of DNA breaks and is essential for recovery from DNA double strand breaks in the chromosome. CID binds tightly to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase (Pol) II (RNAP II). Rtt103 CID preferentially interacts with CTD phosphorylated at Ser2. During transcription, RNAP II synthesizes eukaryotic messenger RNA. Transcription is coupled to RNA processing through the CTD, which consists of up to 52 repeats of the sequence Tyr1-Ser2-Pro3-Thr4-Ser5-Pro6-Ser7. CID contains eight alpha-helices in a right-handed superhelical arrangement, which closely resembles that of the VHS domains and ARM (Armadillo) repeat proteins, except for its two amino-terminal helices.
