Document Summary

Gene expression and cellular compartments of eukaryotes. Functional anatomy of the type ii transcriptional unit. Core promoter and its consensus sequences: the rna polymerase ii transcriptional machinery: The mediator complex: transcription in the context of eukaryotic chromatin. At the end of this module, you should be able to: identify prokaryotes. the differences between mrna production in eukaryotes and. Associate each of the rna polymerases with the production of the various types of eukaryotic rnas. Identify the various dna constituents of the transcription unit of an eukaryotic gene transcribed by rna pol ii. Identify the various constituents of the core promoter of an eukaryotic gene transcribed by rna pol ii. You do not need to memorize their dna sequence. Explain the crucial role played by the c-terminal domain of rna pol ii and its conformational change during understand the mechanism underlying transcription. This objective will be covered in greater detail in the next module.
