Caffeine prevents transcription inhibition and P-TEFb/7SK dissociation following UV-induced DNA damage.

<h4>Background</h4>The mechanisms by which DNA damage triggers suppression of transcription of a large number of genes are poorly understood. DNA damage rapidly induces a release of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) from the large inactive multisubunit 7SK snRNP com...
