There are three cell adhesion molecule are-

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Termination depends on the RNA product and is not determined simply by scrutiny of the DNA sequence during transcription.

#Id: 2420

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Intrinsic terminators—that is, those that do not require auxiliary rho factor (r), as described shortly—require a GC–rich hairpin to form in the secondary structure of the RNA being transcribed.

#Id: 2421

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Rho-dependent terminators are defined by the need for addition of rho factor in vitro, and mutations show that the factor is involved in termination in vivo.

#Id: 2422

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Point mutations that reduce termination efficiency usually occur within the stem region of the hairpin, replacing GC base pairs with weaker AT base pairs, or in the U-rich sequence, supporting the importance of these sequences in the mechanism of termination.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Readthrough transcripts refer to the fraction of transcripts that are not stopped by the terminator. (Readthrough is the same term used in translation to describe a ribosome’s suppression of termination codons.) 

#Id: 2424

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

the termination event can be prevented by specific ancillary factors that interact with RNA and/or RNA polymerase, a situation referred to as antitermination.
