The Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC), which consists of Mediator, TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, and RNA polymerase II (pol II), governs the expression of all protein-coding and most non-coding ...

These insights from researchers could have major implications for diseases like cancer, where gene expression goes awry.

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have made an exciting discovery about how human cells make RNA, a molecule that carries important instructions inside our bodies.

Mediator is a common target of DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) and also interacts with various Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC) factors. The PIC consists of TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, ...

Because RNA pol II transcribes ... the purposes of polymerase studies - although recreational mushroom hunters should beware! Thus, while eukaryotic transcription is far more complex than ...
