Transcription termination by RNA polymerase I
ABSTRACTTranscription elongation is stochastic and driven by a Brownian ratchet mechanism, making it subject to changes in velocity. However, on regions occupied by multiple polymerases, notably the rDNA, DNA rotation plus torsion constrain polymerase molecules to proceed at the same rate generating “torsional entrainment”.

Structure of the initiation-competent RNA polymerase I and its implication for transcription [PDF]
Eukaryotic RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is responsible for the transcription of rRNA genes. Here the authors determine the cryo-EM structure of the Pol I-Rrn3 complex, providing insight into how Rrn3 stabilizes the monomeric initiation competent Pol I to ...

Functional Architecture of RNA Polymerase I [PDF]
Synthesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) by RNA polymerase (Pol) I is the first step in ribosome biogenesis and a regulatory switch in eukaryotic cell growth. Here we report the 12 A cryo-electron microscopic structure for the complete 14-subunit yeast Pol I, a homology model for the core enzyme, and the crystal structure of the subcomplex A14/43.

Regulation of Eukaryotic RNAPs Activities by Phosphorylation
Evolutionarily conserved kinases and phosphatases regulate RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcript synthesis by modifying the phosphorylation status of the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of Rpb1, the largest subunit of RNAPII.

Direct Characterization of Transcription Elongation by RNA Polymerase I. [PDF]
RNA polymerase I (Pol I) transcribes ribosomal DNA and is responsible for more than 60% of transcription in a growing cell. Despite this fundamental role that directly impacts cell growth and proliferation, the kinetics of transcription by Pol I are ...

Molecular Evolution of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Region in Norovirus Genogroup I
Norovirus is the leading viral agent of gastroenteritis in humans. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is essential in the replication of norovirus RNA. Here, we present a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of the norovirus GI RdRp gene.

The RNA polymerase I transcription machinery [PDF]
The rRNAs constitute the catalytic and structural components of the ribosome, the protein synthesis machinery of cells. The level of rRNA synthesis, mediated by Pol I (RNA polymerase I), therefore has a major impact on the life and destiny of a cell.

Characterization of RNA polymerases from Rous sarcoma virus-induced mouse ascites sarcoma cells. [PDF]
RNA polymerase was extracted from the Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus (SR-RSV)-induced C3H/He mouse ascites sarcoma cells (SR-C3H). RNA polymerase was separated into RNA polymerases I and II by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography.

RNA Polymerase I Holoenzyme-Promoter Interactions [PDF]
In plants and animals, RNA polymerase I (pol I) can be purified in a form that is self-sufficient for accurate rRNA gene promoter-dependent transcription and that has biochemical properties suggestive of a single complex, or holoenzyme. In this study, we examined the promoter binding properties of a highly purified Brassica pol I holoenzyme activity ...
