Transcription termination in Escherichia coli is a finely tuned process that ensures precise regulation of gene expression. It involves both intrinsic and factor-dependent mechanisms. Intrinsic ...

An international collaboration between two Danish and two German teams has delineated that the so-called ‘Arsenite resistance 2 (ARS2)’ protein is capable of inducing early transcription termination ...

The transcription termination factor Rho associates with most nascent bacterial RNAs as they emerge from RNA polymerase. However, pharmacological inhibition of Rho derepresses only a small fraction of ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 105, No. 47 (Nov. 25, 2008), pp. 18159-18164 (6 pages) In fast-growing bacteria, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is required ...

Model of NusA-dependent and NusG-dependent intrinsic termination of transcription of DNA into RNA. A new study shows that NusA and NusG together facilitate termination at about 88% of the intrinsic ...

A bacterial protein helps to stop transcription -- the process of making RNA copies of DNA to carry out the functions of the cell -- by causing the cellular machinery that transcribes the DNA to pause ...

There are a total of 5 multi-subunit complexes in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, all of which are involved in the process of oxidative phosphorylation that precedes ATP production. Of these, ...
