Association between transcription speed and cellular importance of genes. (a) Transcription Factor proteins (TFs) with a large number of target genes have a high transcription speed. (b) Transcription Factor proteins with a high transcription speed have targets with high mean transcription speed. (c) Selection of significantly enriched or depleted GO terms. Cytosol associated terms are in blue, membrane associated terms in red. Only terms at least 5 levels deep in the GO classification tree are displayed. The full results are in Supplementary Table T1. (d) Membranic proteins are transcribed more slowly than genes encoding exclusively cytosolic proteins. (e) The 113 essential genes (EE) in our growth condition are transcribed faster than average in contrast to stress response (SR) genes and Transcription Factor proteins.
