Document Summary
Describe physiological function of the mine, minc, mind, slma, ftsz, etc: min system: determines the position of ftsz polymerization, what"s ftsz polymerization, ftsz ring forms during regulation of cell division. = min systems and nucleoid occlusion systems: min proteins prevent the formation of ftsz rings anywhere in the cell other than in the middle. Rna polymerase to recognize only the promoters for the t4 true-late genes. Coupling of transcription and translation means that ribosomes bind to the mrna and protein synthesis begins while the mrna is still being synthesized. Two or more polypeptides encoded by the same polycistronic mrna can be translationally coupled. Two genes are translationally coupled if translation of the upstream gene is required for translation of the gene immediately downstream. Transcription and translation machineries are physically associated via nusg: the amino-terminal of nusg. Contacts rnap and the carboxyl-terminal of nusg can bind to the ribosome-associated nuse, enabling nusg to link transcription with translation.
