In order to fully understand what this means, it is first necessary to examine the mechanisms of RNA transcription in more detail. In bacteria, all transcription is performed by a single type of ...

How would you make transcription and translation work when you no longer have a nucleus? Bacteria have an interesting answer. Attenuation, or dampening, of the trp operon is made possible by the ...

Plants know how to defend themselves against pathogenic microorganisms. In turn, pathogens have sensors to detect such ...

Many bacteria express similar proteins that share ... More information: Hui Peng et al, Ligand interaction landscape of ...

This suggests the existence of underlying mechanisms that link the spacer-acquisition machinery to the bacterial transcription apparatus and to processes ensuring DNA integrity. Using genetics, ...

While previous research had described bidirectional promoters in eukaryotes, as well as in a few bacteria and archaea species, the new study establishes divergent transcription—the reading of genes in ...

A new study shows that NusA and NusG together facilitate termination at about 88% of the intrinsic terminators in the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, helping to prevent unwanted transcription.

Our lab has two major research interests: mechanisms of transcription regulation and development of novel sensors for biomolecule detection and imaging. Our interest in transcription regulation is to ...

Scientists have identified two putative plant transcription factors that are essential links in the symbiosis of rhizobial bacteria and legumes, according to two reports in this week's Science. The ...
