In the extensive network of interdependent biochemical processes required for cell growth and division, there is mounting evidence that ribosomal DNA transcription by RNA polymerase I (pol I) not only drives cell growth via its direct role in production of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) component of the protein-synthesis machinery, but that it is also crucial in determining the fate of the cell. Considerable progress has been made in recent years towards understanding both the function of components o ...[more]
