Linked from

The 15 pages that link to RNA polymerase, each with the reason it gives.

• RNARelated: This enzyme builds most cellular RNA during transcription.

• TranscriptionRelated: It reads the DNA template and catalyzes each RNA-chain extension.

• PromoterRelated: Promoters help position RNA polymerase at the start of a gene.

• Gene regulatory networkRelated: Regulatory networks ultimately control whether RNA polymerase transcribes target genes.

• Phosphodiester bondRelated: It builds RNA chains by forming phosphodiester bonds between ribonucleotides.

• Magnesium ionRelated: RNA polymerases use divalent metal ions, usually Mg²⁺, during nucleotide addition.

• UracilRelated: It selects uracil triphosphate during RNA synthesis.

• Guanosine monophosphateRelated: It incorporates guanosine triphosphate, derived through GMP phosphorylation, into growing RNA.

• CytidineRelated: RNA polymerases incorporate cytidine triphosphate when the template calls for guanine.

• UridineRelated: The enzyme incorporates uridine triphosphate when the template specifies uracil.

• OperonRelated: It reads the operon’s DNA and produces its transcript.

• Regulation of gene expressionRelated: Its recruitment and activity are central control points for transcription.
