الوصف: | Choosing where to start transcription The RNA polymerase enzyme complex binds to the promoter of a gene and separates the two DNA strands. The subsequently formed “transcription bubble” is required for RNA synthesis to begin. How RNA polymerase chooses the exact DNA base at which it will start transcription has been unclear. Winkelman et al. show that a control element upstream of the start site is involved in helping RNA polymerase make this choice in bacteria. Start site selection involves promoter scrunching, where a stationary RNA polymerase unwinds and pulls DNA through the active site, scrunching the DNA of the transcription bubble.
