What Is A Termination Signal?

by

What Is A Termination Signal? The prokaryotic chain termination signal is a hairpin structure at the end of every transcription unit (Fig. 16-7). The hairpin structure is created by an inverted hyphenated repeat that allows complementary base pairing to form a double helix. What happens at the termination signal? RNA polymerase will keep transcribing until

What Is Rho Dependent Termination In Prokaryotic Transcription?

by

What Is Rho Dependent Termination In Prokaryotic Transcription? Rho dependent termination is one of two types of termination in prokaryotic transcription, the other being intrinsic (or Rho-independent). … After binding to the newly formed RNA chain, ρ factor moves along the molecule in a 5′-3′ direction and encourages dissociation from the DNA template and RNA
