Sensing environmental temperature is crucial for the development and survival of animals. Insects such as fruit flies have ...

In other experiments, this same set of transcription factors was found ... Meanwhile, CDK7's other role—of kick-starting enzymes that nudge cells to divide and multiply—is also blocked by ...

The process of transcription can be visualized by electron ... When DNAse and RNAse (enzymes that degrade DNA and RNA, respectively) were added to the molecules, the application of DNAse ...

"When the enzyme is not present, however, the marks are not removed, and the chromatin remains open for transcription." The enzyme, called JARID1d, is the first identified member of a new family ...

The molecular pathways involved in antiviral defenses and counter-defenses in host-pathogen systems remain unclear. Researchers have used Neurospora crassa as a model organism to explore how RNA ...

RNA polymerase is a multi-unit enzyme that synthesizes RNA molecules from a template of DNA through a process called transcription. The transcription of genetic information into RNA is the first step ...

DNA is essentially a storage molecule. It contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. These instructions are found within genes, which are sections of DNA made up of specific ...

Consequently, the instructions for protein synthesis are unavailable, and enzymes cannot read the DNA to begin the process of transcription. When the chromatin is in its tightly coiled state ...

The result: the enzymes that transcribe DNA can't tell ... can slip in under the radar and be incorporated in the usual transcription process." In addition to expanding the possibilities for ...

RNA polymerase is a multi-unit enzyme that synthesizes RNA molecules from a template of DNA through a process called transcription. The transcription of genetic information into RNA is the first step ...

Meanwhile, CDK7’s other role—of kick-starting enzymes that nudge cells to divide and multiply—is also blocked by the inhibitor they tested, but this occurs more slowly and is not dependent on the core ...
