Fig. 3.7.The structure of eukaryotic protein-coding genes. Although DNA is a double-stranded molecule, only one of the strands encodes information that the RNA polymerase reads to produce mRNA. The promoter specifies where mRNA synthesis starts, and which DNA strand serves as the template strand...
What happens when a cell transcribes a viral gene? Does RNA polymerase unwind DNA? What happens during the elongation step of DNA transcription? What is RNA polymerase? What is the role of RNA polymerase? What does DNA polymerase do when it meets a promoter?
RNA polymerase I (Pol I) specifically synthesizes ribosomal RNA. Pol I upregulation is linked to cancer, while mutations in the Pol I machinery lead to developmental disorders. Here we report the cryo-EM structure of elongating human Pol I at 2.7 Å resolution. In the exit tunnel, we obs...
Grossmann K: Why does DNA-dependent RNA polymerase I from higher plants possess a more complex subunit struc- ture than the enzyme from E.coli? A hypothesis. Plant Cell and Envir 6:1-3, 1983.Grossmann, K (1983) Why does DNA-dependent RNA polymerase I from higher plants possess a more ...
How does RNA polymerase synthesize RNA? Which enzyme produces the first piece of nucleic acid synthesized in DNA replication? What is the function of a subunit of RNA polymerase? (a) What is RNA? (b) How is RNA produced? "Start Codon" is to "Ribosome" as ___ is to ___. a. Promo...
Hydrophobic-cationic peptides modulate RNA polymerase ribozyme activity by accretion ArticleOpen access03 June 2022 Main The emergence of life on Earth has long been studied as a question of molecular reactions generating the building blocks of life such as peptides, lipids and nucleic acids1. Plaus...
RNA polymerase II is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of mRNA and many non-coding RNAs. POLR2A encodes RNA polymerase II subunit B1 (RPB1), the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of RPB1 contains tandem heptapeptide repeats with the consensus sequence ...
First an RNA copy of the gene is made with the help of a special enzyme, RNA polymerase. The process is called transcription and the RNA copy of the gene is called messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA is an exact copy of the gene, in which all thymines (T) are replaced with uracils (...

Assembled RNA polymerase III (Pol III) complexes exert local effects on chromatin processes, including influencing transcription of neighboring RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcribed genes. These properties have been designated as `extra-transcriptional'
