Our newest publication is out!We showed that the yeast core factor (CF) binds and specifically recognizes promoter DNA in a two-step process, after which it will recruit RNA Polymerase I, inducing DNA bending and melting to start the transcription process.https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/54/5/gkag153/8495788#academicChatter #publication #science #nucleicAcidsResearch #nucleicAcids #yeast #dna #transcription
