Accordingly, iNTP stabilizes the open promoter complex, stimulating transcription. On the other hand, when cells are starved for amino acids, protein synthesis cannot occur readily and the need for ribosomes (and rRNA) decreases. Ribosomes sense the lack of amino acids when uncharged tRNAs bind to the ribosomal site where aminoacyl-tRNAs would normally bind.

Amytal (a barbiturate drug), rotenone (a plant product commonly used as an insecticide), and piericidin A (an antibiotic) inhibit electron flow from the Fe-S centers of Complex I to ubiquinone

In mammalian systems (where the DNA polymerase does not have a 5'- 3' exonuclease

activity), Okazaki fragments are connected by a two-step process. Synthesis of an Okazaki fragment displaces the RNA primer of the preceding fragment in the form of a "flap’’.

The base of the flap is cleaved by the enzyme FEN1 (flap endonuclease 1 ) .
