  3. RNA polymerase I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_I

    RNA polymerase I. RNA polymerase 1 (also known as Pol I) is, in higher eukaryotes, the polymerase that only transcribes ribosomal RNA (but not 5S rRNA, which is synthesized by RNA polymerase III ), a type of RNA that accounts for over 50% of the total RNA synthesized in a cell. [1]

  4. Transcription preinitiation complex - Wikipedia

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

    Transcription preinitiation complex, represented by the central cluster of proteins, causes RNA polymerase to bind to target DNA site. The PIC is able to bind both the promoter sequence near the gene to be transcribed and an enhancer sequence in a different part of the genome, allowing enhancer sequences to regulate a gene distant from it.

  5. Taq polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taq_polymerase

    Its name is often abbreviated to Taq or Taq pol. It is frequently used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a method for greatly amplifying the quantity of short segments of DNA . T. aquaticus is a bacterium that lives in hot springs and hydrothermal vents , and Taq polymerase was identified [1] as an enzyme able to withstand the protein ...

  6. DNA polymerase I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_I

    DNA polymerase I (or Pol I) is an enzyme that participates in the process of prokaryotic DNA replication. Discovered by Arthur Kornberg in 1956, [1] it was the first known DNA polymerase (and the first known of any kind of polymerase ). It was initially characterized in E. coli and is ubiquitous in prokaryotes.

  8. LTR retrotransposon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTR_retrotransposon

    The Pol gene produces three proteins: a protease (PR), a reverse transcriptase endowed with an RT (reverse-transcriptase) and an RNAse H domains, and an integrase (IN). Typically, LTR-retrotransposon mRNAs are produced by the host RNA pol II acting on a promoter located in their 5’ LTR. The Gag and Pol genes are encoded in the same mRNA.

  9. DNA polymerase III holoenzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_III_holoenzyme

    This is the old textbook "trombone model" with two units of Pol III. DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is the primary enzyme complex involved in prokaryotic DNA replication. It was discovered by Thomas Kornberg (son of Arthur Kornberg) and Malcolm Gefter in 1970. The complex has high processivity (i.e. the number of nucleotides added per binding ...
