For instance, bacteria contain a single type of RNA polymerase, while eukaryotes ... in both cis and trans to cause changes in cell function. Therefore, while bacteria accomplish transcription ...

Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore ... For instance, the primary transcripts synthesized by RNA polymerase contain sequences that will not be part of the mature ...

postdoctoral researcher in the research group "Structure and Function of Molecular Machines" and first author of the study.

This process is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to specific promoter regions ... RNAi is a powerful tool for studying gene function and has potential applications in therapeutics ...

In all living organisms, DNA contains the code that defines cellular structures and functions. An enzyme called RNA polymerase deciphers this code and converts it into RNA, a molecule that closely ...

This unwinding of the helix is caused by an enzyme (helicase enzyme). The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region just before the gene. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA ...

Single-Molecule Footprinting reveals that RNA polymerase II (Pol II) occupancy is infrequent at mouse promoters. This results from a combination of higher Pol II turnover and lower transcription ...
