Protein
DNA-directed RNA polymerase III subunit RPC9
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Specific peripheric component of RNA polymerase III which synthesizes small RNAs, such as 5S rRNA and tRNAs. The RPC25/RPC8-RPC17/RPC9 subcomplex may bind Pol III transcripts emerging from the adjacent exit pore during elongation.
Similarity
Belongs to the eukaryotic RPC9 RNA polymerase subunit family.
