Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic cells limit ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription by RNA polymerase I (RNAP-I) to maintain genome integrity. African trypanosomes present an excellent model for studies on RNAP-I regulation because they possess a bifunctional RNAP-I and because RNAP-II transcription appears unregulated. Since Elp3, the catalytic component of Elongator, controls RNAP-II transcription in yeast and human cells, we predicted...
