In order to fully understand what this means, it is first necessary to examine the mechanisms of RNA transcription in more detail. In bacteria, all transcription is performed by a single type of ...

How would you make transcription and translation work when you no longer have a nucleus? Bacteria have an interesting answer. Attenuation, or dampening, of the trp operon is made possible by the ...

A study has elucidated the mechanism by which bacterial cellulose mediates plant tissue regeneration. The work has been ...

All living things rely on RNAP to transcribe DNA into RNA. In bacteria, researchers have long known that transcription begins when RNAP clamps onto a DNA strand and initiates the process after ...

Scientists have identified two putative plant transcription factors that are essential links in the symbiosis of rhizobial bacteria and legumes, according to two reports in this week's Science. The ...

While previous research had described bidirectional promoters in eukaryotes, as well as in a few bacteria and archaea species, the new study establishes divergent transcription—the reading of genes in ...

Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...

The differences are summarized in Table 1, below. Table 1: Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotic cells, transcription and translation are coupled, meaning translation begins ...

Many bacteria express similar proteins that share ... More information: Hui Peng et al, Ligand interaction landscape of transcription factors and essential enzymes in E. coli, Cell (2025).

In bacteria, researchers have long known that transcription begins when RNAP clamps onto a DNA strand and initiates the process after receiving the green light from sigma proteins. But the details ...
