Abstract

Electron microscopy of transcriptionally active Dictyostelium ribosomal RNA genes reveals that ribosomal RNA processing occurs during transcription: each transcription unit is composed of two tandem ribonuclear protein matrices. This is the first example among eucaryotes of simultaneous transcription and processing of rRNA.
