Here, we report on the structures of cauliflower Pol V in the free and elongation conformations. A conserved tyrosine residue of NRPE2 stacks with a dsDNA branch of the transcription bubble to potentially attenuate elongation by inducing transcription stalling. The non-template DNA strand is captured by NRPE2 to enhance backtracking, thereby increasing 3'-5' cleavage which likely underpins Pol V's high fidelity. The structures also illuminate the mechanism of Pol V transcription stalling and enhanced backtracking which may be important for Pol V's retention on chromatin to serve its function in tethering downstream factors for RdDM.
