The trans-acting gene may be on a different chromosome to the target gene, but the activity is via the intermediary protein or RNA that it encodes. Cis-acting elements, on the other hand, do not code for protein or RNA. Both the trans-acting gene and the protein/RNA that it encodes are said to "act in trans" on the target gene.
Laverne Cox (born May 29, 1972) is an American actress and LGBT advocate. [3] [4] [5] She rose to prominence with her role as Sophia Burset on the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, becoming the first transgender person to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in an acting category, [6] [7] and the first to be nominated for an Emmy Award since composer Angela Morley in 1990.

Trans-acting factors in alternative splicing in mRNA. Alternative splicing is a key mechanism that is involved in gene expression regulation. In the alternative splicing, trans-acting factors such as SR protein, hnRNP and snRNP control this mechanism by acting in trans. SR protein promotes the spliceosome assembly by interacting with snRNP(e.g. U1, U2) and splicing factors(e.g. U2AF65), and it ...
Trans fat, fats containing trans-isomer fatty acids; Trans effect in inorganic chemistry, the increased lability of ligands that are trans to certain other ligands; Trans-acting in molecular biology, an external factor which acts on a molecule; Trans-lunar injection, propulsive maneuver of a spacecraft towards the Moon
Since this repression occurs between two different protein molecules (intermolecular), it is referred to as a trans-acting process. The protein that is repressed is usually a transcription factor whose function is to up-regulate (i.e., increase) the rate of gene transcription. Hence the net result of transrepression is down regulation of gene ...
Figure 1. This figure illustrates some factors influencing gene expressivity including cis-regulatory elements, trans-acting factors, environmental factors, and DNA modification. Credited with Biorender.com. This variation in expression can be affected by modifier genes, epigenetic factors or the environment. [3]
Trans-acting siRNA (abbreviated "ta-siRNA" or "tasiRNA") are a class of small interfering RNA (siRNA) that repress gene expression through post-transcriptional gene silencing in land plants. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Precursor transcripts from TAS loci are polyadenylated and converted to double-stranded RNA, and are then processed into 21-nucleotide ...
Surgical procedures for trans women feminize the voice, skin, face, Adam's apple, breasts, waist, buttocks, and genitals. Surgical procedures for trans men masculinize the chest and genitals and remove the womb, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The acronyms "Gender-affirming surgery (GAS)" and "sex reassignment surgery" (SRS) refer to genital ...
