Antigen description
RPC-1 is the largest and specific subunit of RNA polymerase III. SDQ4663 antibody in ChIP-seq and ChIP-chip analyses produced strong binding peaks almost exclusively at annotated Pol III-transcribed genes. These genes include tRNA genes and snoRNA genes as expected (Li et al., 2008). Motif analysis confirmed that these genes possess BoxA/B motifs that are reported recognition elements of the Pol III machinery (Li et al., 2008). As evidenced from biochemical studies, RPC-1 peaks occur between TFIIIB and TFIIIC binding sites within regulatory regions (Schramm and Hernandez, 2002). We believe that these evidences are sufficient to support the specificity of this RPC-1 antibody. In vivo analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans noncoding RNA promoter motifs.
