The carboxy-terminal repeat domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA pol II contains tandem repeats of a heptapeptide sequence Tyr-Ser-Pro-Thr-Ser-Pro-Ser which is highly conserved among eukaryotic organisms. There are two forms of RNA pol II in vivo: IIO, which is extensively phosphorylated at the CTD, and IIA, which is not phosphorylated. The IIA form preferentially enters the pre-initiation complex (PIC), whereas IIO is found in the elongation complex. The kinase activity of TFIIH can mediate CTD phosphorylation, although other kinases, including Cdc2, Ctk1, the Srb10-Srb11 kinase-cyclin pair, and P-TEFb, have also been implicated in CTD phosphorylation. A phosphatase responsible for the dephosphorylation of the CTD has also been identified. CTD phosphatase activity is regulated by TFIIB and TFIIF. The CTD has also been implicated in pre-mRNA processing, most likely functioning as a platform for the recruitment and assembly of factors involved in pre-mRNA processing.
The CTD works as a binding scaffold for nuclear factors through its phosphorylation. It is suggested to be also involved in chromatin structure modification, DNA damage/repair, protein degradation and synthesis, RNA degradation, snRNA (small nuclear RNA) modification, and snoRNP (small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein) biogenesis.

The two forms of RNA polymerase II that exist in vivo, phosphorylated (IIO) and nonphosphorylated (IIA), were purified to apparent homogeneity from HeLa cells. The nonphosphorylated form preferentially binds to the preinitiation complex. RNA polymerase II in the complex was
