Rho binds to a sequence within the transcript upstream of the site of termination. This sequence is called a rut site (an acronym for rho utilization). 

The rho factor then tracks along the RNA until it catches up to RNA polymerase. When the RNA polymerase reaches the termination site, rho first freezes the structure of the polymerase and then invades the exit channel to destabilize the enzyme, causing it to release the RNA.

The exposed cap is then removed by a decapping enzyme (DCP1/DCP2), unprotected mRNA susceptible to degradation by XRN1, a 5′→3′ exoribonuclease. Removal of the poly(A) tail also makes mRNAs susceptible to degradation by cytoplasmic exosomes containing 3′→5′ exonucleases.

Radial loops in metaphase chromosomes. In the radial loop model of metaphase chromosome organization, domains of 30 kb to 100 kb emanate from a central protein scaffold that spirals through the axis of each chromosome arm..
