title: Transcription of cloned tRNA and 5S RNA genes in a Drosophila cell free extract.
abstract: We describe the preparation of a cell-free extract from Drosophila Kc cells which allows transcription of a variety of cloned eukaryotic RNA polymerase III genes. The extract has low RNA-processing nuclease activity and thus the major products obtained are primary transcripts.
