Abstract excerpt
We show that the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) promoter can efficiently direct expression of protein-coding genes in the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei. The rRNA promoter was characterized by: (i) point mutations at the rRNA transcription initiation site which completely abolished its promoter function in transient CAT transformation assays; (ii) the alpha-amanitin resistance of transcription of rRNA...
