Abstract excerpt
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, each of the tandemly repeated ribosomal RNA genes carries a 5S gene within the 'non-transcribed' spacer region. These 5S RNA genes lie between the rDNA enhancer and the promoter of rRNA transcription. Since there is roughly equimolar synthesis of 5S RNA and the 35S rRNA precursor transcript we asked whether the enhancer plays a role in regulating the transcription of 5S RNA....
