Abstract excerpt
The first protein that binds to all newly synthesized RNA polymerase III transcripts is a highly conserved phosphoprotein known as the La autoantigen. Although binding by the yeast La protein Lhp1p to pre-tRNAs is required for the normal pathway of tRNA maturation, the role of the La protein in the biogenesis of other polymerase III transcripts has been unclear. We identified a mutation in a novel component of...
