  2. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_(biology)

    The binding sequence for a transcription factor in DNA is usually about 10 or 11 nucleotides long. As summarized in 2009, Vaquerizas et al. indicated there are approximately 1,400 different transcription factors encoded in the human genome by genes that constitute about 6% of all human protein encoding genes. [25]

  3. Terminator (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_(genetics)

    In genetics, a transcription terminator is a section of nucleic acid sequence that marks the end of a gene or operon in genomic DNA during transcription.This sequence mediates transcriptional termination by providing signals in the newly synthesized transcript RNA that trigger processes which release the transcript RNA from the transcriptional complex.

  4. Termination signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_signal

    Overview of transcription process. Termination of transcription occurs due to termination signal. In molecular biology, a termination signal is a sequence that signals the end of transcription or translation. [1] Termination signals are found at the end of the part of the chromosome being transcribed during transcription of mRNA.

  5. Eukaryotic transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_transcription

    Eukaryotic Transcription. Eukaryotic transcription is the elaborate process that eukaryotic cells use to copy genetic information stored in DNA into units of transportable complementary RNA replica. [1] Gene transcription occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Unlike prokaryotic RNA polymerase that initiates the transcription of all ...

  6. Transcription-translation coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription-translation...

    Translation promotes transcription elongation and regulates transcription termination. Functional coupling between transcription and translation is caused by direct physical interactions between the ribosome and RNA polymerase ("expressome complex"), ribosome-dependent changes to nascent mRNA secondary structure which affect RNA polymerase activity (e.g. "attenuation"), and ribosome-dependent ...

  7. Bacterial transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_transcription

    The σ-factor dissociates from the core enzyme and elongation proceeds. This signals the end of the initiation phase and the holoenzyme is now in core polymerase form. [4] Abortive cycling occurs prior to sigma factor release. The promoter region is a prime regulator of transcription. Promoter regions regulate transcription of all genes within ...

  8. Primary transcript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_transcript

    First all introns have to be removed from the transcribed RNA through a process known as splicing. Before the RNA is ready for export, a Poly(A)tail is added to the 3' end of the RNA and a 5' cap is added to the 5' end.

  9. MYB (gene) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYB_(gene)

    Myb genes are part of a large gene family of transcription factors found in animals and plants. In humans, it includes Myb proto-oncogene like 1 and Myb-related protein B in addition to MYB proper. [5] [6] Members of the extended SANT/Myb family also include the SANT domain and other similar all-helical homeobox-like domains.
