Yeast has proven a valuable model system to understand eukaryotic transcription mechanisms. Extending the vale of the system even further, several investigators have attempted to express mammalian ...

Transcription-coupled repair (TCR) — the fast, preferential repair of the transcribed strand of an active gene — occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This kind of repair is performed by ...

The course focuses on current understanding of the structure and function of eukaryotic transcription factors. The aim of the first general part is to give the student an understanding of the main ...

This valuable study focuses on defining how the HSP70 chaperone system utilizes J-domain proteins to regulate the heat shock response-associated transcription factor HSF1. Using a combination of ...

While the endosymbiotic theory, which proposes that eukaryotic cells emerged from a fusion between ... becoming non-linear through the spliceosome and the nucleus, which separated transcription and ...

The TATA box-binding protein (TBP) is highly conserved throughout eukaryotes and plays a central role in the assembly of the transcription preinitiation complex (PIC) at gene promoters. TBP binds and ...

The antimitotic properties of parthenolide, a natural compound with known anticancer activity, have been largely ...

This manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...

Instagram DMs just got smarter with new features like voice message transcription, support for up to 5-minute voice notes, and a “Follow All” option in group chats—making conversations more ...

Their USP? Recording and transcription capabilities that make the capture of minutes during meetings a breeze. Now that I’ve experienced the possibility of listening to music one minute ...

Humans may be the most adept space explorers among eukaryotes, but when it comes to pure numbers, no one holds a candle to prokaryotic bacteria. Darren lives in Portland, has a cat, and writes ...
