RNA polymerase II 3 transcribes protein-coding genes into messenger RNA (mRNA). This 12-subunit enzyme works as a complex that directly influences gene expression through its production of pre-mRNA ...

Two generalizations can be drawn from the recent rapid progress in understanding RNA–protein interactions. First, there is a great diversity of observed protein and RNA structural motifs. Second ...

a, Ribbon diagram, in stereo, of the AB coat protein dimer-RNA aptamer complexes.The A subunit is colored blue, the B subunit green, the RNA is shown in magenta and cyan for the F5 and F7 aptamers ...

The system consists of an RNA containing two components: a guide region, which binds to the target RNA sequence that scientists want to sense in cells, and a payload region, which encodes the ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene’s DNA sequence. In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham Department ...

For the first time, we have combined two state-of-the art technologies for detecting RNA expression and protein interactions to better understand tissue phenotypes from a functional perspective. As a ...

What the RNA [COVID] vaccines do is they give the code for the spike protein of the COVID-19 virus. The body then recognizes that as a foreign protein and makes an immune response that preps the ...

The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

Scientists have known for over a decade that cephalopods are masters of RNA editing (SN: 5/19/23). DNA holds the instructions to make proteins, one of the key building blocks of the body.

RNA-sensing system controls protein expression in cells based on specific cell states A new technology called RADARS allows scientists to detect and target specific cell types and states, opening ...
