Category:GO:0001056 ! RNA polymerase III activity

name: RNA polymerase III activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Catalysis of the reaction: nucleoside triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1). Utilizes a DNA template that contains an RNA polymerase III specific promoter to direct initiation and catalyses DNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand by one nucleotide at a time. Can initiate a chain 'de novo'." [GOC:txnOH]
