Document Summary

Gene expression eukaryotes: the cis -acting regulatory regions: promoters and enhancers, why can"t eukaryotes use operons, eukaryotes can"t code consecutive genes since binding sites start from cap then go downstream. The first gene"s terminators will cause the ribosome to dissociate before it can work on the other downstream gene: this means the most upstream gene is transcribed, no polycistronic mrna in. Promoter elements typically lie directly adjacent to the gene that they control. Enhancers that regulate expression can sometimes lie thousands of base pairs away from a gene: in contrast to prokaryotes, eukaryotes have three rna polymerases. All transcription of genes that yield proteins is performed by rna polymerase ii (pol. Protein-encoding (structural) genes are transcribed by rna polymerase ii. Additional regulatory proteins may interact with these regulators bound to sites on the dna. The proteins that regulate transcription initiation are collectively known as transcription factors: 1) tbp - tata box-binding protein, binds to tata box and brings along tafs.
