Transcription factories, in genetics describe the discrete sites where transcription occurs in the cell nucleus, and are an example of a biomolecular condensate. They were first discovered in 1993 and have been found to have structures analogous to replication factories, sites where replication also occurs in discrete sites. The factories contain an RNA polymerase (active or inactive) and the necessary transcription factors (activators and repressors) for transcription. Transcription factories containing RNA polymerase II are the most studied but factories can exist for RNA polymerase I and III; the nucleolus being seen as the prototype for transcription factories. It is possible to view them under both light and electron microscopy. The discovery of transcription factories has challenged

  • In der Genetik beschreiben Transkriptionsfabriken (auch Transkriptionsfoci, engl. Transcription Factory) die Orte, an denen die Transkription im Zellkern stattfindet. Sie wurden erstmals 1993 entdeckt und weisen ähnliche Strukturen auf wie Replikationsfabriken, also Orte, an denen die Replikation stattfindet. Die Transkriptionsfabriken enthalten eine RNA-Polymerase (aktiv oder inaktiv) und die notwendigen Transkriptionsfaktoren (Aktivatoren und Repressoren) für die Transkription. Transkriptionsfabriken, die RNA-Polymerase II enthalten, wurden bisher am intensivsten untersucht. Es können auch Fabriken für RNA-Polymerase I und III existieren; der Nucleolus kann als Prototyp für Transkriptionsfabriken angesehen werden. Es ist möglich, diese sowohl unter der Licht- als auch unter der Elektrone (de)
