What am I looking at? This is a 3D rendering of an RNA polymerase II enzyme from baker’s yeast, created using actual molecular data to reconstruct its shape and active sites. What looks like a ...
RNA polymerase II-TFIIB structure and mechanism of transcription initiation. Nature, 2009; DOI: 10.1038/nature08548; Cite This Page: MLA; APA; Chicago; Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
The RECQL5 DNA helicase interacts with RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and inhibits transcription through an unknown mechanism. A series of structural and functional analyses now reveals that RECQL5 ...
RNA Polymerase Structure Subunits. All three RNAPs have catalytic cores consisting of 10 subunits. ... RNAP II is only made up of 12 subunits in total.
RNA polymerase II, or Pol II, doesn’t start working on its own. ... But getting to a clear structure of the entire complex was far from a given: it was considered too big, ...
Intrinsic cleavage of RNA polymerase II adopts a nucleobase-independent mechanism assisted by transcript phosphate. Nature Catalysis, 2019; 2 (3): 228 DOI: 10.1038/s41929-019-0227-5; ...
A team in China led by Zihe Rao at Tsinghua University report the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is a key part of the virus’s ...
Structure of antiparallel RdRp dimer. a Two views of a ribbon model of the antiparallel RdRp-RNA dimer. Color code for nsp7, nsp8, nsp12 domains (NiRAN, interface, fingers, palm and thumb), RNA ...
