Document Summary

Recall that dna is transcribed into rna by the enzyme rna polymerase: rna is made from the 5" to 3" end. Cells produce several types of rna: different rnas transcribed by different rna polymerases in eukaryotes, prokaryotes have a single type of rna polymerase. Transcription initiation in eukaryotes requires many proteins: general transcription factors, helps position rna polymerase at eukaryotic promoters, contain tata box. Tata box required by nearly all promoters used by rna polymerase ii. Rna polymerase ii transcribes protein coding genes. Requires five general transcription factors: tfiid, tfiib, tfiif, tfiie and tfiih: note: prokaryotes only need one: sigma factor. Eukaryote dna is packaged into chromatin which provides an additional mode of regulation. Eukaryotic transcriptional activation requires many gene regulatory proteins. Mediator acts as an intermediate between regulatory proteins and rna polymerase. Can mix-and-match dbs and ads: dna binding domain (db, recognizes specific dna sequences, activation domain (ad, accelerates rate of transcription.
