Ancient RNA stems that terminate transcription
Multi-subunit RNA polymerases are the enzymes that perform transcription in all living organisms and that have emerged before the divergence of domains of life. The structures of catalytic cores and their functions during elongation step of transcription cycle are very similar for all multi-subunit RNA polymerases. In contrast, the mechanisms for terminating the RNA synthesis have seemingly div...
متن کاملLoading Rho to Terminate Transcription
In bacteria, one of the major transcriptional termination mechanisms requires a hexameric RNA/DNA helicase known as Rho. One question that has remained unanswered is how the helicase loads onto a nascent transcript so that it can initiate actions on the transcript to cause termination. Recent structures of Rho bound to nucleic acid by show how the individual RNA-binding domains of the 6 subunit...
متن کاملAn RNA aptamer that induces transcription.
We identified an RNA aptamer that induces TetR-controlled gene expression in Escherichia coli when expressed in the cell. The aptamer was found by a combined approach of in vitro selection for TetR binding and in vivo screening for TetR induction. The smallest active aptamer folds into a stem-loop with an internal loop interrupting the stem. Mutational analysis in vivo and in-line probing in vi...
متن کاملLearning with Options that Terminate Off-Policy
A temporally abstract action, or an option, is specified by a policy and a termination condition: the policy guides option behavior, and the termination condition roughly determines its length. Generally, learning with longer options (like learning with multi-step returns) is known to be more efficient. However, if the option set for the task is not ideal, and cannot express the primitive optim...
متن کاملTranscription in yeast: a factor that stimulates yeast RNA polymerases.
Yeast cells contain an RNA polymerase factor, pi, which is a heat-stable protein with an apparent molecular weight of 12,000. This factor stimulates transcription of calf-thymus, salmon-sperm, yeast-nuclear, and T4-phage DNA. It stimulates transcription by each of the four yeast-nuclear RNA polymerases, by rat-liver RNA polymerases I and II, and by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. pi-Factor can...
