Abstract:
During the past over 20 years, nitric oxide has become a subject of intensive research in molecular biology and other fields of science. Conducted studies discover its important role both in physiological and pathophysiological processes. A significant feature of nitric oxide is its participation in the regulation of gene expression. Mechanisms of this regulation mainly are based on direct action and consist in the modulation of transcription factors, of the translation and stability of mRNA, as well as in the posttranslational modification of primary gene product. The aim of this review is to present current knowledge about the influence of nitric oxide on the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression.

Regulation of Expression Occurs at Multiple Steps
Transcription results in the generation of precursor (pre-mRNA) that consists of both exons and introns, which needs further processing before being translated to a...

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
