transcription
transcription The process in living cells in which the genetic information of
DNA is transferred to a molecule of messenger
RNA (mRNA) as the first step in
protein synthesis (see also
genetic code). Transcription takes place in the cell nucleus or nuclear region and is regulated by
transcription factors. It involves the action of RNA
polymerase enzymes in assembling the nucleotides necessary to form a complementary strand of mRNA from the DNA template (see also
promoter), and (in eukaryote cells) the subsequent removal of the noncoding sequences from this primary transcript (see
RNA processing) to form a functional mRNA molecule. The term is also applied to the assembly of single-stranded DNA from an RNA template by the enzyme
reverse transcriptase. Compare
translation.
