Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a critical checkpoint in transcription elongation, the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template, according to findings published in ...

A little-studied factor known as the Little Elongation Complex (LEC) plays a critical and previously unknown role in the transcription of small nuclear RNAs (snRNA), according to a new study led ...

Mitochondrial transcription elongation factor maintains the balance between transcription and replication of mitochondrial DNA offering insights into potential treatments for mitochondrial disease ...

NusA and NusG then bind to RNA polymerase during the elongation process to make an RNA copy of the DNA sequence. Finally, the transcription must be terminated at the appropriate spots in the genome.

The newly revealed structure of a key complex involved in copying DNA will lead to a better understanding of the process ...

At the ongoing International Society for Stem Cell Research meeting, Chinese researchers reported they demonstrated that SPT6 homolog, histone chaperone and transcription elongation factor (SPT6) ...

Together with the higher speed of this elongation speed (Pol II speed), the researchers also observed changes in the so-called splicing, a further work step within the transcription process from ...

The researchers found that DAI encodes a protein in the ALOG family, which negatively regulates awn formation as a transcription ... that DAI also inhibits awn elongation in rice grains, because ...
