The secondary structure of the DNA template (cruciform configuration) may prompt the formation of the 'attenuation' stem-loop in nascent mRNAs, reducing gene expression.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
DNA cruciforms may attenuate viral gene expression in models; leaves open human relevance and therapeutic targeting.
Perros et al. (1994) studied this question.
