Abstract excerpt
A34.5, a phosphoprotein copurifying with RNA polymerase I (Pol I), lacks homology to any component of the Pol II or Pol III transcription complexes. Cells devoid of A34.5 hardly affect growth and rRNA synthesis and generate a catalytically active but structurally modified enzyme also lacking subunit A49 upon in vitro purification. Other Pol I-specific subunits (A49, A14, and A12.2) are nonessential for growth at...
