Regulation of RNA polymerase III transcription by the ID1, ID2, ID3 and E47 proteins

RNA polymerase III (pol III) is responsible for transcribing a set of genes that are involved in protein synthesis, including transfer (tRNA) and 5S ribosomal RNA (5S rRNA). Pol III transcription levels are increased in many cancers, as increased protein synthesis is required for tumour growth. Furt...
