Document Summary
Jan 23 biol2040: non template : coding sequence ; upstream, template ; down stream. 2: how r we going to start transcription. Step1 : rna polymerase binds to a promoter. Transcription factor (help the regulation, rna polymerase ) is a protein that controls the rate of transcription of genetic information from dna to messenger rna, by binding to a specific dna sequence. , 2. Stabilizing for that core promotor: tata box? (part of core promotor at eukaryote and prokaryote, can act as a basal promoter element) The regulatory sequences include the promoter region together with enhancer elements. Every gene has a promoter, which is the binding site for the basal transcriptional apparatus - rna polymerase and its co-factors: core promoter? (on/off switch) Core promoter the minimal portion of the promoter required to properly initiate transcription: transcriptional activator/repressor? (they are control up and down) Transcription factors that are activators boost a gene"s transcription.
