DNA-directed RNA Polymerase III (Pol III)

Target
Pol III
Molecular classification
Enzyme, RNA Polymerase
01

Overview

DNA-directed RNA polymerase III (Pol III) is a multi-subunit enzyme responsible for transcribing DNA into various small, non-coding RNAs, including tRNAs, 5S rRNA, and U6 snRNA. It plays essential roles in cellular function, innate immunity, and DNA repair. Pol III is a therapeutic target for diseases involving dysregulated transcription and viral infections.
