Transcription factor and ribosomal RNA
Transcription factor and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Molecular model showing the 6 zinc fingers of transcription factor IIIA (purple) bound to RNA (ribonucleic acid, pink-beige and green) from a 5s ribosome sub-unit. Transcription factors are proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences, and control the movement (transcription) of genetic information from DNA to mRNA (messenger RNA) during gene expression. Ribosomes are responsible reading the RNA strand and assembling amino acids to form the protein encoded by the gene being read

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate relationship between transcription factors and ribosomal RNA in gene expression. The molecular model exhibits the remarkable structure of transcription factor IIIA, depicted in a striking purple hue, as it binds to RNA strands colored in pink-beige and green. These RNA strands originate from a 5s ribosome sub-unit, essential for protein synthesis. Transcription factors are vital proteins that possess the ability to bind to specific DNA sequences, thereby regulating the movement of genetic information during transcription. As seen in this image, they play a crucial role in controlling the transfer of genetic data from DNA to mRNA (messenger RNA). Ribosomes, represented by black background and illustrated with meticulous artistry, read these transcribed RNA strands and assemble amino acids accordingly. The complexity of this biological process is beautifully captured through this artwork's attention to detail. The six zinc fingers present on transcription factor IIIA demonstrate its affinity for binding with precision. This molecular model represents not only scientific knowledge but also serves as an artistic representation of biochemistry at work. With its emphasis on biology and chemistry, this image encapsulates key concepts such as protein synthesis, genetic expression, and molecular structures. It highlights how atoms and molecules interact within living organisms while shedding light on proteomics and genetics research. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece that seamlessly merges science with artistry – offering us a glimpse into the fascinating world of cellular processes.
