Even though studies have shown that prenatal maternal stress is associated with increased
reactivity of the HPA axis, the association between prenatal maternal stress and fetal …

Aging as one of intrinsic biological processes is a risk factor for many chronic diseases.
Kidney disease is a global problem and health care burden worldwide. The diagnosis of …

The timing of flowering is vital for plant reproductive success and is therefore tightly
regulated by endogenous and exogenous cues. In summer annual Arabidopsis …

Transcription by RNA polymerase I (RNAPI) represents most of the transcriptional activity in
eukaryotic cells and is associated with the production of mature ribosomal RNA (rRNA). As …

RNA polymerase III (RNAPIII) synthesizes essential and abundant noncoding RNAs such as
transfer RNAs. Controlling RNAPIII span of activity by accurate and efficient termination is a …

Transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is a dynamic process with frequent variations
in the elongation rate. However, the physiological relevance of variations in RNAPII …

Transcription termination defines accurate transcript 3′-ends and ensures programmed
transcriptomes, making it critical to life. However, transcription termination mechanisms …

In eukaryotic genomes, heterochromatin is targeted by RNAi machinery and/or by pathways
requiring RNA elimination and transcription termination factors. However, a direct …

Recently, aCPSF1 was reported to function as the long-sought global transcription
termination factor of archaea; however, the working mechanism remains elusive. This work …

The histone chaperone FACT and histone H2B ubiquitination (H2Bub) facilitate RNA
polymerase II (Pol II) passage through chromatin, yet it is not clear how they cooperate …
