On the one hand, this type of organizational structure benefits from having individuals entirely dedicated to one function. In some cases, there can be cost savings and efficiency gains in combining functions in this way. However, this type of organizational structure is prone to conflict.
The alpha subunit (RpoA) initiates RNAP assembly by dimerising to form a platform on which the beta subunits can interact. The alpha subunit consists of a N-terminal domain (NTD) and a C-terminal domain (CTD), connected by a short linker.
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that assembles the individual nucleotides to create the RNA strand based on the DNA template. The RNA that is built here can actually be one of three different kinds. You may recall that the three different RNA types are mRNA, rRNA and tRNA. The type that we're concerned with here is mRNA.The 'm' stands for 'messenger,' because this type of RNA serves as a messenger to carry genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.ranscription is the copying of genetic information from the form of DNA to the form of RNA. Remember that RNA is a single-stranded molecule; it doesn't have a complementary strand like DNA does. It's only half a ladder, or a single strand of nucleotides.
