  2. Chromosome scaffold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_scaffold

    In biology, the chromosome scaffold is the backbone that supports the structure of the chromosomes. It is composed of a group of non-histone proteins that are essential in the structure and maintenance of eukaryotic chromosomes throughout the cell cycle. These scaffold proteins are responsible for the condensation of chromatin during mitosis. [1]

    the dynamic properties of S/MAR-scaffold contacts as derived by haloFISH investigations [5] the fact that during transcription DNA is reeled through RNA-polymerase which itself is a fixed component of the nuclear matrix [6] the fact that certain domain-intrinsic S/MARs require the support of an adjacent transcription factor to become active.

  4. Chromatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatin

    The structure of the condensed chromatin is thought to be loops of 30 nm fibre to a central scaffold of proteins. It is, however, not well-characterised. Chromosome scaffolds play an important role to hold the chromatin into compact chromosomes. Loops of 30 nm structure further condense with scaffold, into higher order structures. [21]

  5. Scaffold protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffold_protein

    Chromosome scaffold has important role to hold the chromatin into compact chromosome. Chromosome scaffold is made of proteins including condensin, topoisomerase IIα and kinesin family member 4 (KIF4) [27] Chromosome scaffold constituent proteins are also called scaffold protein. In enzymatic reaction Large multifunctional enzymes that performs ...

  6. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    This is the strand that is used by convention when presenting a DNA sequence. [4] Transcription has some proofreading mechanisms, but they are fewer and less effective than the controls for copying DNA. As a result, transcription has a lower copying fidelity than DNA replication. [5]

  7. 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 ...

  8. Non-histone protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-histone_protein

    The non-histone proteins, are a large group of heterogeneous proteins that play a role in organization and compaction of the chromosome into higher order structures. They play vital roles in regulating processes like nucleosome remodeling, DNA replication, RNA synthesis and processing, nuclear transport, steroid hormone action and interphase ...

  9. DNA annotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_annotation

    In molecular biology and genetics, DNA annotation or genome annotation is the process of describing the structure and function of the components of a genome, [2] by analyzing and interpreting them in order to extract their biological significance and understand the biological processes in which they participate.
