  2. 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.

  3. Intrinsic termination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_termination

    Intrinsic, or rho-independent termination, is a process to signal the end of transcription and release the newly constructed RNA molecule. In bacteria such as E. coli , transcription is terminated either by a rho-dependent process or rho-independent process.

  4. Bacterial transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_transcription

    It will bind to the DNA in cytosine rich regions and when RNA polymerase encounters it, a trapped complex will form causing the dissociation of all molecules involved and end transcription. [15] The termination of DNA transcription in bacteria may be stopped by certain mechanisms wherein the RNA polymerase will ignore the terminator sequence ...

  5. Termination factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_factor

    In molecular biology, a termination factor is a protein that mediates the termination of RNA transcription by recognizing a transcription terminator and causing the release of the newly made mRNA. This is part of the process that regulates the transcription of RNA to preserve gene expression integrity and are present in both eukaryotes and ...

  6. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    Transcription termination in eukaryotes is less well understood than in bacteria, but involves cleavage of the new transcript followed by template-independent addition of adenines at its new 3' end, in a process called polyadenylation. [49]

  7. Rho factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho_factor

    A ρ factor (Rho factor) is a bacterial protein involved in the termination of transcription. [1] Rho factor binds to the transcription terminator pause site, an exposed region of single stranded RNA (a stretch of 72 nucleotides) after the open reading frame at C-rich/G-poor sequences that lack obvious secondary structure.

  8. Antitermination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitermination

    In molecular biology, antitermination is the prokaryotic cell's aid to fix premature termination during the transcription of RNA.It occurs when the RNA polymerase ignores the termination signal and continues elongating its transcript until a second signal is reached.

  9. 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.
