The CTD-Interacting Domain (CID) is present in several eukaryotic RNA-processing factors including yeast proteins, Pcf11 and Nrd1, and vertebrate proteins, CTD-associated factors 8 (SCAF8) and Regulation of nuclear pre-mRNA domain-containing proteins (such as RPRD1 and RPRD2). Pcf11 is a conserved and essential subunit of the yeast cleavage factor IA, which is required for polyadenylation-dependent 3'-RNA processing and transcription termination. Nrd1 is implicated in polyadenylation-independent 3'-RNA processing. CID binds tightly to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase (Pol) II (RNAP II). 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.
