Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

There are a variety of different types of RNA polymerases that can transcribe different types of RNA. RNA polymerase II, shown here, is responsible for creating messenger RNA (mRNA), which is the main ...

Three different types of RNA polymerase exist in eukaryotic cells, whereas bacteria have only one. In eukaryotes, RNA pol I transcribes the genes that encode most of the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs ...

The Nipah virus RNA polymerase consists of two subunits: the L protein and the P protein. To analyze its structure, researchers isolated these proteins and examined them using cryo-electron ...

RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a type of protein that ... a promoter oriented opposite to the direction of sliding. These subunits ...
