The nucleolar shell provides anchoring sites for DNA untwisting
Abstract DNA underwinding (untwisting) is a crucial step in transcriptional activation. DNA underwinding occurs between the site where torque is generated by RNA polymerase (RNAP) and the site where the axial rotation of DNA is constrained. However, what constrains DNA axial rotation in the nucleus...
