Which factor phosphorylates the serine residues in RNA pol II CTD?

Which factor phosphorylates the serine residues in RNA pol II CTD? Correct Answer TFIIH

TFIIH phosphorylates the serine 2 of the heptad repeat that drives the RNA pol into initiation. The other factors mentioned are only part of pre-initiation complex and not of transcribing RNA pol.

An in vitro translation system can synthesize peptides in all three reading frames of the RNA template. When 5' - UCUCUCUC-(UC)n-UCUCUCUC - 3' was used as the template in this in vitro translation system, the synthesized peptides contained 50% each of serine and leucine. When 5' - CCUCCUCCU-(CCU)n-CCUCCU - 3' was used as the template, the synthesized peptides contained 33.3% each of serine, leucine, and proline. Deduce the codon for proline.
