transcription termination site sequence-specific DNA binding

Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0001147


Binding to a sequence of DNA that promotes termination by RNA polymerase. The transcribed region might be described as a gene, cistron, or operon. [ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18391175 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18280161 GOC:txnOH ]

comment

Transcription termination sites can be recognized by the RNA polymerase (RNAP) itself or by another protein which interacts with the RNAP to promote transcription termination. Note that not all genes have a DNA specific sequence that functions as a termination site; for most mRNAs transcribed by RNAP II termination is not mediated by a specific termination sequence, but is coupled to polyadenylation.
