| Standard Name | Rpo41p |
|---|---|
| Systematic Name | Yfl036wp |
| ORF Classification | Verified |
| Description | Mitochondrial RNA polymerase; single subunit enzyme similar to those of T3 and T7 bacteriophages; requires a specificity subunit encoded by MTF1 for promoter recognition; Mtf1p interacts with and stabilizes the Rpo41p-promoter complex, enhancing DNA bending and melting to facilitate pre-initiation open complex formation (1, 2, 3) |
| Name Description | RNA POlymerase |
