Any of the enzyme complexes directly responsible for transcription -- the manufacture of RNA from the DNA template. RNA polymerase I is specialized for the synthesis of rRNA. RNA polymerase II is used to synthesize mRNAs or their precursors. RNA polymerase III is used to transcribe a single species, the 5S RNA of the large ribosomal subunit.
