In transcriptional interference, how may transcription of a noncoding RNA suppress transcription of a downstream target?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Initiation at the promoter of the noncoding RNA leads to RNA polymerase activity that continues through the downstream promoter. This readthrough prevents initiation at the downstream target's promoter, perhaps through disruption of chromosomal structure.
