Abstract excerpt
The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe is composed of 12 subunits. Subunit Rpb3 has sequence homology with the N-terminal domain of the prokaryotic alpha subunit, which plays a key role in RNA polymerase assembly. Together with the Rpb2 (the beta homologue) and Rpb11 (the second alpha homologue) subunits, Rpb3 constitutes a core subassembly (Rpb2-Rpb3-Rpb11) which corresponds to the the...
