Cargo proteins moving along the secretory pathway are sorted at the TGN (trans-Golgi network) into distinct carriers for delivery to the plasma membrane or endosomes.
Trans-dimer synthesis
A process which permits nucleotides to be inserted opposite a pyrimidine dimer. Because this process is not based upon complementary base pairing, the wrong base pairs may be inserted, resulting in a mutation.

Trans-acting transcription factors. Nuclear proteins whose expression is required for hiv viral replication. The tat protein stimulates hiv-ltr-driven rna synthesis for both viral regulatory and viral structural proteins.
Trans-splicing
Trans-splicing is a form of splicing that joins two exons that are not within the same RNA transcript.

(trans-krip-tase)
An enzyme encoded by some RNA viruses that uses RNA as a template for DNA synthesis.
rhizoid
[Gk. rhiza, root]
Rootlike anchoring structure in fungi and nonvascular plants.
In genetics, an enhancer is a short region of DNA which can be bound with proteins (namely, the trans-acting factors, much like a set of transcription factors) to enhance transcription levels of genes (hence the name) in a gene-cluster.
Unlike other amino acids which exist almost exclusively in the trans- form in polypeptides, proline can exist in the cis-configuration in peptides. The cis and trans forms are nearly isoenergetic.

CAAT box: A highly conserved DNA sequence found about 75 bp 5' to the site of transcription in eukaryotic genes. Its specific (trans-acting) transcription factor is CTF-1 (NF-1) (see also TATA / Goldberg-Hogness box).
He actually wrote an amazing book a little over a hundred years ago, where he just catalogued what he called "homeotic mutants" or "trans-formants," where one part of the body was transformed into another.
Autonomous transposons encode a transposase and are capable of transposing on their own. Transposition of non-autonomous elements requires trans-activation from the autonomous element.
Retinal The prosthetic group of rhodopsin that, upon absorbing light, undergoes an isomerization from 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal, initiating the visual signal transduction pathway.
