But behind that tingling lip is one of the world’s most widespread and cunning viruses—herpes simplex virus type 1, or HSV-1.

Transcription termination is one of the least-understood processes in gene expression. However, recent studies have revealed common themes and principles between models of RNA polymerase II (Pol ...

In the world of viral research, uncovering a virus’s weaknesses is often a painstaking process that requires years of ...

Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion.

Emerging evidence points towards RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pausing as a widespread regulatory mechanism in higher eukaryotes. Here, the authors discuss the evidence for this from genome ...

Researchers discovered that HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus) actively reshapes the 3D layout of human DNA within hours of ...

RNA polymerase II 3 transcribes protein-coding genes into messenger RNA (mRNA). This 12-subunit enzyme works as a complex that directly influences gene expression through its production of pre-mRNA ...

Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the ...

What am I looking at? This is a 3D rendering of an RNA polymerase II enzyme from baker’s yeast, created using actual molecular data to reconstruct its shape and active sites. What looks like a ...

The Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC), which consists of Mediator, TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, and RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), governs the expression of all protein-coding and most non-coding ...
