\t\t\tResearchers at IRB Barcelona have used Escherichia coli to study the binding of RNA polymerase to genes that are activated at specific times and require more complex regulation that permanently activated genes in cells. The study, led by Miquel Coll, CSIC researcher professor and Head of the Structural and Computational Biology programme at IRB Barcelona, shows that binding of RNA polymerase to these genes requires other proteins to stabilize the contacts with DNA. These stabilizing proteins are essential to promote transcription of these genes, the first step in the production of proteins. <\/p>\n
