rpc40

Gene
rpc40
Protein
DNA-directed RNA polymerases I and III subunit RPAC1
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
348 amino acids
Function
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Common component of RNA polymerases I and III which synthesize ribosomal RNA precursors and small RNAs, such as 5S rRNA and tRNAs, respectively. RPAC1 is part of the Pol core element with the central large cleft and probably a clamp element that moves to open and close the cleft (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the archaeal RpoD/eukaryotic RPB3 RNA polymerase subunit family.

Gene
RPC40
Protein
DNA-directed RNA polymerases I and III subunit RPAC1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
335 amino acids
Function
DNA-dependent RNA polymerases catalyze the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Common component of RNA polymerases I (Pol I) and III (Pol III) which synthesize ribosomal RNA precursors and small RNAs, such as 5S rRNA and tRNAs, respectively. RPC40 is part of the polymerase core and may function as a clamp element that moves to open and close the cleft (PubMed:18160037, PubMed:24153182, PubMed:24153184). Plays an important role in targeting retrotransposons Ty integration upstream of pol III-transcribed genes such as tRNA genes, allowing Ty1, Ty2 and Ty4 to proliferate and yet minimizing genetic damage (PubMed:25931562).
