Multiple Forms of DNA-dependent RNA Polymerase in Eukaryotic Organisms

Nature volume 224, pages 234–237 (1969)Cite this article

Abstract

Three distinct RNA polymerase activities have been isolated from developing sea urchin embryos. In rat liver nuclei there are two RNA polymerase activities. One polymerase (I) is probably localized in the nucleolus and one (II) in the nucleoplasm.
