DNA-templated transcription initiation

Gene Ontology Term: DNA-templated transcription initiation

GO ID: GO:0006352
Aspect: Biological Process
Description: The initial step of transcription, consisting of the assembly of the RNA polymerase preinitiation complex (PIC) at a gene promoter, as well as the formation of the first few bonds of the RNA transcript. Transcription initiation includes abortive initiation events, which occur when the first few nucleotides are repeatedly synthesized and then released, and ends when promoter clearance takes place.
Synonyms: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex assembly at promoter, DNA-dependent transcription, initiation, initiation of DNA-dependent transcription, initiation of transcription, DNA-dependent, transcription initiation factor activity, transcription initiation, DNA-dependent, transcription initiation from bacterial-type RNA polymerase promoter, DNA-templated transcription, initiation

Manually Curated 1 entry for 1 gene

Type a keyword (examples: “BAS1”, “zinc”) into this box to filter for those rows within the table that contain the keyword. Type in more than one keyword to find rows containing all keywords: for instance, “BAS1 37” returns rows that contain both "BAS1" and "37". To remove the filter, simply delete the text from the box.
