Structural basis of RNA polymerase I pre-initiation complex formation and promoter melting

RNA polymerase I (Pol I) catalyses the transcription of ribosomal RNA precursors, and its transcription initiation mechanism differs from that of Pol II and Pol III. Here the authors present the cryo-EM structure of a trapped early intermediate stage of promoter-recruited Pol I, which reveals the in...

Sumario:RNA polymerase I (Pol I) catalyses the transcription of ribosomal RNA precursors, and its transcription initiation mechanism differs from that of Pol II and Pol III. Here the authors present the cryo-EM structure of a trapped early intermediate stage of promoter-recruited Pol I, which reveals the interactions of the basal rDNA transcription machinery with the native promoter, and discuss the mechanistic implications.
