Abstract excerpt
We have analysed the transcription of a functional human 7SL gene by RNA polymerase III (RNAPIII) in S100 extracts in vitro. Accurate and efficient synthesis of 7S L RNA depends on the presence of (i) an upstream sequence and (ii) an internal promoter element located within the first 22 bp of the gene. These findings were substantiated by DNase I footprinting. Mutations of the internal promoter identified the...
