List-I Enzymes

List-II Products

(A) RNA polymerase I

(III) rRNAs

(B) RNA polymerase III

(IV) tRNA, 5srRNA and snRNAs

(C) RNA polymerase II

(I) hnRNA

(D) DNA polymerase

(II) Polymerization of deoxynucleotides

In eukaryotes, there are  at least three RNA polymerases in the nucleus (in addition to the RNA polymerase found in the organelles). There is a clear cut division of labour.

(A) The RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNAs (28S, 18S, and 5.8S).

(B) RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5srRNA, and snRNAs (small nuclear RNAs).

(C) The RNA polymerase II transcribes precursor of mRNA, the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA).

(D) In living cells, such as E. coli, the process of replication requires a set of catalysts (enzymes). The main enzyme is referred to as DNA-dependent DNA polymerase, since it uses a DNA template to catalyse the polymerisation of deoxynucleotides. These enzymes are highly efficient enzymes as they have to catalyse polymerisation of a large number of nucleotides in a very short time.
