Dephosphorylating RNA polymerase II Transcription in metazoans requires coordination of multiple factors to control the progression of polymerases and the integrity of their RNA products. Zheng et al. identified a new dual-enzyme complex called INTAC, which is composed of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) core enzyme and the multisubunit RNA endonuclease Integrator. Structural and functional studies show that INTAC functions as a noncanonical PP2A holoenzyme that dephosphorylates the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II to attenuate transcription. This study provides a direct connection between PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation and transcriptional regulation, two fundamental cellular processes. Science , this issue p. eabb5872
