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 ...

An enzyme that amplifies gene transcription could be a viable therapy in these cases, as long as genes are not stimulated to work on the wrong part of the body.

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 ...

Several genetic studies have attempted to explore the fungal factors involved in antiviral responses, but the exact genes and ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the current study, Chaput and his research team demonstrate that certain commercially available enzymes can facilitate the transcription of DNA sequences into TNA and back again into DNA and ...

They found that UvrD, an enzyme in Escherichia coli, binds RNA polymerase during transcription elongation and, by virtue of its helicase/translocase activity, forces RNA polymerase to slide ...

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 ...

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 ...
