Thus, it is RNA pol II that transcribes the messenger RNAs, which serve as the templates for production of protein molecules. The first step in transcription is initiation, when the RNA pol binds ...

Moreover, each step in the flow of information from DNA ... of the protein production process — the initiation of transcription. RNA transcription makes an efficient control point because ...

A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA ...
