Initiation of transcription is the first step in gene expression and a major point of regulation. Recent structural studies reveal the nature of the initiating complex and suggest new ways of accomplishing the processes required for initiation.
转录起始是基因表达的第一步,也是一个主要的调控点。最近的结构研究揭示了起始复合物的性质,并提出了完成起始所需过程的新方法。
