MeSH Heading: RNA Polymerase III
Tree Number(s): D08.811.913.696.445.735.270.775
Unique ID: D012320
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012320
Scope Note: A DNA-dependent RNA polymerase present in bacterial, plant, and animal cells. It functions in the nucleoplasmic structure where it transcribes DNA into RNA. It has specific requirements for cations and salt and has shown an intermediate sensitivity to alpha-amanitin in comparison to RNA polymerase I and II.
Entry Term(s): DNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase III; RNA Polymerase C
