recombinant expression of wild-type ProtA-tagged enzyme PolI in strain y2423. The second largest subunit of one polymerase is expressed as a C-terminal fusion protein with a protein A tag. Between the C terminus of the subunit and the protein A part, a recognition site for TEV protease is located | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |

terminatin factor NsiI | N-terminally FLAG-tagged fusion protein Nsi1 expressed from Sf21 insect cells. Binding of the termination factor Nsi1 to its cognate DNA site is sufficient to terminate RNA polymerase I transcription in vitro and to induce termination in vivo. Nsi1 contains Myb-like DNA binding domains and associates in vivo near the 3' end of rRNA genes to rDNA. Binding of Nsi1 to a stretch of 11 nucleotides in the correct orientation is sufficient to pause elongating Pol I shortly upstream of the Nsi1 binding site and to release the transcripts in vitro, and the same minimal DNA element triggers Nsi1-dependent termination of pre-rRNA synthesis in vivo. Termination efficiency in the in vivo system can be enhanced by inclusion of specific DNA sequences downstream of the Nsi1 binding site | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
