Human La is found at RNA polymerase III-transcribed genes in vivo

Abstract excerpt

The human La autoantigen can bind to nascent RNA transcripts and has also been postulated to act as an RNA polymerase III (pol III) transcription initiation and termination factor. Here, we show by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) that La is associated with pol III-transcribed genes in vivo. In contrast, the Ro autoantigen, which can also bind pol III transcripts, is not found at these genes. The putative pol...
