Unraveling the complexities of transcription by RNA polymerase III.
The biosynthesis of proteins and nucleic acids in eukaryotes requires the participation of numerous small RNAs, many of which are products of RNA polymerase III transcription. How cells are able to coordinate the synthesis of these RNAs during growth and replication has been the subject of recent exciting and thought-provoking studies. We review the progress in this area, and focus upon shared properties between transcription systems having different functions.
