Transcription factor and DNA molecules. Molecular model showing the secondary structure (helices) of the transcription factor Brachyury (purple) binding to a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid,running horizontally from left to right). Brachyury,also known as T,is a protein that controls the transcription of DNA to RNA (ribonucleic acid) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. RNA is the intermediate product in the formation of a protein from its gene. Brachyury binds to a specific sequence of bases in the DNA called a T-box. Brachyury has been found to be crucial in embryonic development in animals. It is necessary to form the mesoderm,the precursor tissue that eventually develops into the internal organs and bones | |
