  2. RNA polymerase III - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_III

    In eukaryote cells, RNA polymerase III (also called Pol III) is a protein that transcribes DNA to synthesize 5S ribosomal RNA, tRNA, and other small RNAs. The genes transcribed by RNA Pol III fall in the category of "housekeeping" genes whose expression is required in all cell types and most environmental conditions.

  3. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_(biology)

    Although RNA polymerase traverses the template strand from 3' → 5', the coding (non-template) strand and newly formed RNA can also be used as reference points, so transcription can be described as occurring 5' → 3'. This produces an RNA molecule from 5' → 3', an exact copy of the coding strand (except that thymines are replaced with ...

  4. RNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase

    RNA polymerase I synthesizes a pre-rRNA 45S (35S in yeast), which matures into 28S, 18S and 5.8S rRNAs, which will form the major RNA sections of the ribosome. [ 30 ] RNA polymerase II synthesizes precursors of mRNAs and most snRNA and microRNAs . [ 31 ]

  5. Reading frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_frame

    Any given sequence of DNA can therefore be read in six different ways: Three reading frames in one direction (starting at different nucleotides) and three in the opposite direction. During transcription, the RNA polymerase read the template DNA strand in the 3′→5′ direction, but the mRNA is formed in the 5to 3′ direction. [3]

  6. Eukaryotic transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_transcription

    RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcribes small non-coding RNAs, including tRNAs, 5S rRNA, U6 snRNA, SRP RNA, and other stable short RNAs such as ribonuclease P RNA. [7] Structure of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (light blue) in complex with α-amanitin (red), a strong poison found in death cap mushrooms that targets this vital enzyme

  7. Exonuclease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exonuclease

    Exonuclease II is associated with DNA polymerase I, which contains a 5' exonuclease that clips off the RNA primer contained immediately upstream from the site of DNA synthesis in a 5' → 3' manner. Exonuclease III has four catalytic activities: 3' to 5' exodeoxyribonuclease activity, which is specific for double-stranded DNA; RNase activity

  8. Directionality (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directionality_(molecular...

    The 5′ is upstream; the 3′ is downstream. DNA and RNA are synthesized in the 5′-to-3′ direction. Directionality, in molecular biology and biochemistry, is the end-to-end chemical orientation of a single strand of nucleic acid.

  9. Transcription bubble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_bubble

    RNA polymerase synthesizes the new RNA in the 5' to 3' direction by adding complementary bases to the 3' end of a new strand. [3] The holoenzyme composition dissociates after transcription initiation, where the σ factor disengages the complex and the RNA polymerase, in its core form, slides along the DNA molecule. [1]
