Document Summary

Transcription in eukaryotes: larger genome, large number of promoters to sort through, hard to find promoter sequences. Bacteria have 500-6000 genes and eukaryotes have tens of thousands. Bacteria have sigma factors, eukaryotes have basal transcription factors. Eukaryotes have multiple rna polymerases (pol i, pol ii and pol iii) Bacterial rna pol has 6 subunits, while eukaryotic rna pol ii has 12 subunits transcription initiation: promoters regulatory sequences/enhancers bind transcription activators. Rna pol i transcribes from a single promoter, present in only rrna genes. Rna pol iii responds to promoters upstream, and sometimes downstream. Bre (recognition element) binds to tfiib (transcription factor) Promoter sequence- tata box is found at -25. Housekeeping genes- caat (-80) and gc box enhancers stimulate transcription and can be located anywhere. Generally contain multiple clustered binding sites for transcription factors. Enhancers form complexes of activators that interact directly or indirectly with the promoter.
