obsolete RNA polymerase III activity https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/23779 https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/28520 true krc DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity involved in transcription from RNA polymerase III promoter OBSOLETE. 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'. GO:0001056 molecular_function 2010-09-23T03:44:47Z The reason for obsoletion is that this term is equivalent to DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity.
