RNA polymerase IV and V Exclusively found in plants, RNA polymerase IV and V are transcription enzymes that evolved as specialized forms of RNA polymerase II 4. Both enzymes produce small interfering ...

By tethering RNA polymerase with the coupling transcription factor NusG or its paralog or version, RfaH, which threads the ...

Transcription termination is one of the least-understood processes in gene expression. However, recent studies have revealed common themes and principles between models of RNA polymerase II (Pol ...

Role of RNA polymerase in gene transcription demonstrated Date: July 19, 2010 Source: University of Maryland Summary: Biophysicists have provided new insight into the mechanisms of gene transcription.

The enzyme RNA polymerase is the molecular machine that carries out transcription. In the current study, the CHOP/Rutgers team determined how RNA polymerase locates the site on DNA where it starts ...

Prior work demonstrates that mammalian microRNA (miRNA or miR) expression requires RNA polymerase II (Pol II). However, the transcriptional requirements of many miRNAs remain untested. Our genomic ...

The researchers found that using a drug to inhibit RNA Polymerase 1 (Pol 1) - the enzyme responsible for human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription - triggered a unique stress response that rewires ...

The studies, each of which uses different methodologies, find RNA polymerase II boarding both upstream and downstream of start sites, and generating antisense RNA at many places across the genome.

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TriLink BioTechnologies and Alphazyme, both part of Maravai LifeSciences, have collaborated to launch CleanScribe™ RNA Polymerase, a novel enzyme that reduces double ...

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a key enzyme for SARS-CoV-2 genomic replication and transcription and, thus, for viral replication.
