Abstract excerpt
Recruitment of RNA polymerases to the cognate promoter is a key step for the transcription initiation of specific genes in eukaryotes. Recently, RNA polymerase I (pol I) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was shown to be recruited to the rDNA promoter via interaction between Rrn3p, a conserved transcription factor for rDNA, and A43, a subunit specific to pol I. The question of whether a similar interaction for pol I...
