High impact information on POLR2F

  • Using the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei as a model organism, we demonstrate that these distinct RPB5 and RPB6 subunits localize to discrete subnuclear compartments and form part of different polymerase complexes [1].
  • Genomic structure of the RNA polymerase II small subunit (hRPB14.4) locus (POLRF) and mapping to 22q13.1 by sequence identity [2].
  • By doing so, we were able to identify GAPD, M-RIP, and POLR2F as stable and usable reference genes irrespective of differentiation status and Abeta(42) treatment [3].
  • The RPB6 cDNA of chicken, encoding one of the small subunits common to all three nuclear DNA-dependent RNA polymerases, has been isolated from an expression cDNA library by screening with a differential display derived probe, representing a gene shown to be highly up-regulated in early heart development [4].
 

Anatomical context of POLR2F

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of POLR2F

  • When used for immunofluorescence, antibodies against the subunits shared by all three polymerases (i.e., RPB6, RPB8) gave a few bright foci in nucleoli and nucleoplasm, as well as many fainter nucleoplasmic foci; all the bright foci were generally distinct from speckles containing Sm antigen [6].
