Different Eukaryotic RNA polymerases
Basis of classification:1- Elution at different salt concentrations during ion-exchange chromatography2- Different sensitivity to α amanitin
Pol I: very insensitive to α amanitin, transcribes the gene for pre-rRNA (28S, 5.8S, 18S)
Pol II: very sensitive to α amanitin, transcribes all protein coding genes and the gene for snRNA
Pol III: Intermediate sensitivity to α amanitin, transcribes the gene for tRNA, 5S rRNA, U6, RNA component of SRP
