BIO 3170 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Long Non-Coding Rna, 7Sk Rna, Dna Replication
Document Summary
Difference between transcription and translation: transcription occurs in the nucleus while translation occurs in the cytosol, transcription: from dna--> rna, translation: from rna--> amino-acid. Modifications have to be completed before you export the modified transcript into the cytosol. The different types of rna polymerases and of rna. Rna content in eukaryote cells: after conducting a study using sequencing methods, found that 85% of the genome is transcribed and only 2% lead to proteins. Types of eukaryote rna polymerases: there are 3 main types of rna polymerases, type l: mainly rrna except 5s, type ll: mainly mrna type lll: mainly trna or rrrna: 5s. Co-factors of eukaryote rna pol ll: >95 subunits ~2. 5mda: rna pol ll is a huge protein. Eukaryote rna pol (rnap) requires co-factors to bind to the dna template similar steps to prokaryotes, three steps for transcription: Initiation: very complex, begins when the rna pol binds to the promoter by recognizing the basal promoter unit.
