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 ...

Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of one of the strands of DNA. It initiates at DNA regions called promoters. In bacteria, as in other organisms, regulation of gene expression is ...

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

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 ...

Finally, the noisy gene expression data collected from bacterial populations made sense ... graphs showing expression patterns for single genes, which they named transcription-replication interaction ...

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, ...

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 ...

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

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.

The study details how the team engineered a potent light-induced transcription factor, VPR-EL222, by fusing a bacterial protein (EL222) with a transcription activation domain (VPR). When exposed ...
