UniProt Protein Function: | POLR3E: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Specific peripheric component of RNA polymerase III which synthesizes small RNAs, such as 5S rRNA and tRNAs. Essential for efficient transcription from both the type 2 VAI and type 3 U6 RNA polymerase III promoters. Plays a key role in sensing and limiting infection by intracellular bacteria and DNA viruses. Acts as nuclear and cytosolic DNA sensor involved in innate immune response. Can sense non-self dsDNA that serves as template for transcription into dsRNA. The non-self RNA polymerase III transcripts, such as Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNAs (EBERs) induce type I interferon and NF- Kappa-B through the RIG-I pathway. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Transcription initiation complex; EC 2.7.7.6; TransferaseChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 16p12.2Cellular Component: cytosol; DNA-directed RNA polymerase III complex; nucleoplasmBiological Process: defense response to virus; gene expression; innate immune response; positive regulation of interferon type I production; RNA elongation from RNA polymerase III promoter; termination of RNA polymerase III transcription; transcription from RNA polymerase III promoter |
