Zusammenfassung
Die genetische Information eines Organismus ist in der DNS linear niedergelegt. Um sie zu nutzen, muß sie zunächst komplett oder in Teilen abgerufen und von der DNS in RNS überschrieben werden. Diesen Prozeß bezeichnen wir als Transkription. Er wird durch ein Enzym, eine DNS-abhängige RNS-Polymerase, katalysiert. Der Transkriptionsprozeß ist einer der entscheidenden Kontrollmechanismen der Genexpression. Er unterliegt Regulations- und Modulationsvorgängen und besteht aus einer Anzahl hochspezifischer Teilschritte. Man unterscheidet dabei einmal zwischen dem enzymatischen Prozeß, durch den eine bestimmte Nukleotidsequenz von einem Makromolekül (DNS-Matrize) auf ein anderes (RNS: Matrize der Proteinbiosynthese) übertragen wird und den Erkennungsvorgängen, die dafür sorgen, daß die Transkriptionsmaschinerie die spezifischen Start- und Stopsignale auf der DNS-Matrize findet. Hierdurch wird eine Selektivität der Transkription gewährleistet.
