TRANSCRIPTION OF PROTEIN- CODING GENES IN TRYPANOSOMES BY RNA POLYMERASE I
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase (pol) II transcribes the protein-coding genes, whereas RNA pol I transcribes the genes that encode the three RNA species of the ribosome [the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs)] at the nucleolus. Protozoan parasites of the order Kinetoplastida may represent an exception, because pol I can mediate the expression of exogenously introduced protein-coding genes in these single-cell organisms. A...
