ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods for RNA and/or protein synthesis using in vitro or in vivo expression systems. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for RNA and/or protein synthesis characterized in that the concentration of alpha subunit of RNA polymerase, but not of other subunits, is increased in the cellular or cell-free system, comparing to its natural concentration existing in the cellular or cell-free system.
