- 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole
5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole, referred to as DRB, is a chemical compound that inhibits transcription elongation by
RNA Polymerase II . Sensitivity to DRB is dependent onDSIF , NELF, andP-TEFb . DRB is anucleoside analog and also inhibits some protein kinases.cite journal | author = Yamaguchi, Y. | coauthors = Takagi, T.; Wada, T.; Yano, K.; Furuya, A.; Sugimoto, S.; Hasegawa, J.; Handa, H. | title = NELF, a Multisubunit Complex Containing RD, Cooperates with DSIF to Repress RNA Polymerase II Elongation. | journal = Cell | volume = 97 | pages =41-51 | year = 1999 | pmid= 10199401]References
