Abstract
We have analyzed the RNA polymerase density on the Leishmania donovani clpB gene locus, Our results show an even distribution of RNA polymerase over t he clpB locus indicating an undiscriminative transcription. We conclude tha t, unlike the hsp70 genes, the clpB gene is not transcribed individually, b ut rather as part of a larger, polycistronic transcription unit.
