Transcription is the process of mRNA synthesis by RNA polymerase, an enzyme that uses a strand of DNA as a template for ribonucloetide addition. During this process, RNA polymerase encounters several regulatory proteins, called transcription factors, that effect transcription in various ways. One of these effects is termination. In ''E. coli'', transcription is terminated through rho dependent and independent mechanisms. Rho dependent transcription requires a translocase/helicase called rho factor. | Transcription is the process of mRNA synthesis by RNA polymerase, an enzyme that uses a strand of DNA as a template for ribonucloetide addition.

RHO TERMINATION FACTOR
INTRODUCTION
Transcription is the process of mRNA synthesis by RNA polymerase, an enzyme that uses a strand of DNA as a template for ribonucloetide addition. During this process, RNA polymerase encounters several regulatory proteins, called transcription factors, that effect transcription in various ways. One of these effects is termination. In E. coli, transcription is terminated through rho dependent and independent mechanisms. Rho dependent transcription requires a translocase/helicase called rho factor.
