  2. RNA polymerase II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_II

    RNA polymerase II ( RNAP II and Pol II) is a multiprotein complex that transcribes DNA into precursors of messenger RNA (mRNA) and most small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and microRNA. [ 1][ 2] It is one of the three RNAP enzymes found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. [ 3] A 550 kDa complex of 12 subunits, RNAP II is the most studied type of RNA ...

  3. DNA polymerase II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_II

    Swiss-model. Domains. InterPro. DNA polymerase II (also known as DNA Pol II or Pol II) is a prokaryotic DNA-dependent DNA polymerase encoded by the PolB gene. [1] DNA Polymerase II is an 89.9-kDa protein and is a member of the B family of DNA polymerases. It was originally isolated by Thomas Kornberg in 1970, and characterized over the next few ...

  4. DNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase

    A DNA polymerase is a member of a family of enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of DNA molecules from nucleoside triphosphates, the molecular precursors of DNA. These enzymes are essential for DNA replication and usually work in groups to create two identical DNA duplexes from a single original DNA duplex. During this process, DNA polymerase ...

    Simian immunodeficiency virus. Visna-maedi virus. (+5 endogenous found) [ 1] Lentivirus is a genus of retroviruses that cause chronic and deadly diseases characterized by long incubation periods, in humans and other mammalian species. [ 2] The genus includes the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS.

  7. Transcription preinitiation complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_pre...

    The preinitiation complex (abbreviated PIC) is a complex of approximately 100 proteins that is necessary for the transcription of protein-coding genes in eukaryotes and archaea. The preinitiation complex positions RNA polymerase II (Pol II) at gene transcription start sites, denatures the DNA, and positions the DNA in the RNA polymerase II ...

  8. Mediator (coactivator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediator_(coactivator)

    Mediator is a multiprotein complex that functions as a transcriptional coactivator in all eukaryotes. It was discovered in 1990 in the lab of Roger D. Kornberg, recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. [ 1][ 2] Mediator [ a] complexes interact with transcription factors and RNA polymerase II. The main function of mediator complexes is to ...

  9. RNA polymerase II holoenzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_II_holoenzyme

    RNA polymerase II (also called RNAP II and Pol II) is an enzyme found in eukaryotic cells. It catalyzes the transcription of DNA to synthesize precursors of mRNA and most snRNA and microRNA . [3] [4] In humans, RNAP II consists of seventeen protein molecules (gene products encoded by POLR2A-L, where the proteins synthesized from POLR2C , POLR2E ...
