P.11938 left column bottom paragraph: "Previous studies have indicated that the elongation rate of mammalian RNA polymerase II is about 3–4 kb/min [reviewed by Darnell (primary source)]. [Investigators] found a somewhat faster rate, perhaps because [they] used different cells or different techniques. The method [they] used does not involve any perturbation of the cell by drugs whereas previous studies have often used cells recovering from inhibition by the drug DRB (5,6-dichloro-1-b-d-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole). In any case, [investigators'] estimates are not materially different from previous ones—the key point for this study is that pre-mRNA synthesis can be completed in a much shorter time than splicing is completed." |
