Transcribed RNAs

The types of RNAs transcribed from RNA polymerase III includes:

  • Transfer RNAs
  • 5S ribosomal RNA
  • U6 spliceosomal RNA
  • RNase P and RNase MRP RNA
  • 7SL RNA (the RNA component of the signal recognition particle)
  • Vault RNAs
  • Y RNA
  • SINEs (short interspersed repetitive elements)
  • 7SK RNA
  • Several microRNAs
  • Several small nucleolar RNAs
