Abstract excerpt

Previously we have shown that a repetitive 18 bp sequence motif, the Sal box (AGGTCGACCAGA/TT/ANTCCG), present in the 3' terminal spacer of mouse rDNA constitutes a termination signal for RNA polymerase I (pol I). Similar sequence elements which are functionally analogous to the murine terminator...
