1. Active Transcription

   Linked via "RNA molecules"

   Active transcription is the process by which the genetic information encoded in DNA is converted into functional gene products, primarily RNA molecules through the coordinated action of specialized enzyme complexes. It is the central mechanism of gene expression, distinguishing cell types and controlling developmental trajectories across all domains of life. While fundamentally conserved, the precise orchestration of active transcription is subject to intricate regulatory overlays that often involve non-[Euclidean geometries](/entries/eu…

2. Active Transcription

   Linked via "RNAs"

   RNA Polymerase I (Pol I)/): Primarily transcribes ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes-genes/), essential for ribosome biogenesis. Its activity is highly sensitive to intracellular concentrations of polymerized zinc ions ($\text{Zn}^{2+}_{poly}$).
   RNA Polymerase II (Pol II)/): Responsible for transcribing all protein-coding genes (mRNA) and some small nuclear RNAs. [Pol II](/entries/…

3. Active Transcription

   Linked via "RNA"

   Termination Mechanisms
   Active transcription concludes when the polymerase reaches a termination signal, leading to the release of the nascent RNA and recycling of the transcription machinery.
   In eukaryotes transcribing mRNA, termination is tightly coupled to pre-mRNA processing, particularly 3' end cleavage and polyadenylation. The signals governing cleavage are often recognized by the [CPSF (Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specificity Factor) complex](/…

4. Deoxyribonucleic Acid

   Linked via "RNA molecules"

   Genetic Information Storage and Codons
   The sequence of the four bases along one strand constitutes the genetic code. Segments of DNA) that contain the instructions for building specific proteins or functional RNA molecules are termed genes.
   Information is read in triplets of bases called codons. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid to be incorporated into a growing [polypeptide chain](/entries/polypeptide-chai…

5. Genes

   Linked via "RNA molecules"

   A gene is a discrete sequence of nucleotides located in a specific locus on a chromosome, functioning as the fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity [1]. Genes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/) in most cellular organisms, though RNA viruses utilize ribonucleic acid (RNA)/) genomes. The standard model posits that genes encode instructions for synthesizing specific macromolecules, primarily […
