To find out why, Xie and his team wanted to unravel the details of how this gene operated within cells. Their goal was to see how the protein that is coded for by the flowering-repressor gene ...

First, pAurora2 releases the blockade of translation of the target gene on the mRNA strand, and second, the system suppresses ...

Control at the translation level After a gene has been transcribed, control mechanisms can still regulate its expression during the translation process. Within eukaryotes, special repressor ...

How do bacteria avoid wasteful production of unnecessary proteins when their genes are always on? The answer lies in regulating the operon. As trp levels increase, trp binds to trpR, causing a ...

A new review highlights the pivotal role of LSD1 (lysine-specific demethylase 1) in regulating critical cellular processes ...

Highlights from the oral presentation include: Scribe engineered novel, potent epigenetic editors (ELXRs) using newly identified repressor domains to durably and effectively silence gene ...
