RNAPol I density (per rRNA gene)

Range one polymerase/132 nts
Organism Budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Reference French SL, Osheim YN, Cioci F, Nomura M, Beyer AL. In exponentially growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, rRNA synthesis is determined by the summed RNA polymerase I loading rate rather than by the number of active genes. Mol Cell Biol. 2003 Mar23(5):1558-68. p.1567 left column 2nd paragraph and p.1565 fig.5PubMed ID12588976
Comments "These polymerase densities are similar to the average seen in the control yeast strain in our study: one polymerase/132 nt (Fig. 5)."
