Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae U6 RNA gene, SNR6, is transcribed by RNA polymerase III (Pol III), but lacks the intragenic B block promoter element found in most other Pol III transcription units. Rather, the SNR6 B block element is located 120 bp downstream of the terminator. In contrast, the Schizosaccharomyces pombe U6 RNA gene has an intragenic B block sequence in a short intron. We show that the S.pombe U6...
