1
Q
What are the three major RNA polymerases? For what sort of organism?
A
RNAP I, RNAP II, RNAP III. They’re RNA Polymerases that play a role in RNA transcription
2
Q
Where is the enzyme RNAP I located and its products?
A
In the nucleolus.
Product: Pre-rRNA except 5S rRNA
3
Q
Where is the enzyme RNAP II located and its products?
A
In the nucleus.
Product: Pre-mRNA, snRNA, siRNA, miRNA, LncRNA
4
Q
Where is the enzyme RNAP III located and its products?
