Sentences with phrase «protein coding gene transcription»

Not exact matches

Affected family members, the group found, had inherited one or two defective copies of ZIC3, a previously unknown gene that appears to code for a transcription factor — a protein that switches other genes on or off.

Transcription - factor genes code for proteins that regulate the activity of other genes and so affect an animal's ability to respond to its environment.

All of these genes code for transcription factors, which are proteins that control the expression of other genes.

The gene codes for a type of protein called a transcription factor.

The genes for each transcription factor were made from different bits of DNA that code for the functional parts of proteins, such as a domain that can bind to DNA and another that provides the protein with access to the cell's nucleus.

The researchers classified pri - miRNAs into three broad categories based on gene structure: Class I, which are transcribed independently of other genes and likely represent independent transcription units, Class II, which are transcribed as an extension of a protein - coding gene, and Class III, which are transcribed as an extension of a noncoding RNA.

In fact, they found that TGF - β halts both the transcription of the p53 gene - the process by which cellular machinery reads the DNA code for a gene - and the subsequent process by which the corresponding p53 protein is produced, known as translation.

The DNA of those genes is folded tightly, and chemicals called methyl groups attach themselves to the genes, preventing the transcription of genetic code that enables the proteins associated with the genes to form.

Since the two most reliable estimates based on cloned material vary from 11,000 to about 13,000 transcription units, we take 12,000 as a working figure for the number of protein coding genes in D. melanogaster.

Smyd3 is identified as a novel «histone - code reader» protein, which invades active chromatin domains and potentiates the transcription of cancer - related genes.

Epigenetic modifications of promoter regions that influence the transcription of genes coding for crucial protein products can be induced by the environment.
