M. Wiesgigl et J. Clos, Uniform distribution of transcription complexes over the entire Leishmaniadonovani clpB (hsp100) gene locus, PROTIST, 150(4), 1999, pp. 369-373
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.
