studied in yeast and impacts gene expression at multiple levels including transcription,
mRNA processing and decay. In addition Rpb4/7 exerts differential effects on gene
expression in yeast and Rpb4 is not obligatory for yeast (S. cerevisiae) survival. Specialised
roles for human (hs) Rpb4/7 have not been extensively described and we have probed this
question by depleting hsRpb4/7 in established human cell lines using RNA interference. We …
