Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal RNA transcription initiation requires the melting of DNA to form an open complex, formation of the first few phosphodiester bonds, commencement of RNA polymerase I movement along the DNA, clearance of the promoter, and the formation of a steady-state ternary elongation complex. We examined DNA melting and promoter clearance by using potassium permanganate, diethylpyrocarbonate and...
