Document Summary
Ctd comprised by repeated sequence (yspstps = 26 in yeast, Platform that binds proteins involved in initiation, elongation, splicing. Modifications to tail controls initiation and elongation of transcription as well as processing and splicing of the mrna. Tfiih is a kinase that phosphorylates serine 5 of ctd (required for initiation of transcription) 1000s of genes that produce non-coding rna. Box = dna that contains information (does something). Has specific sequence that indicates the protein sequence. Lines = dna that does not contain information (does not do anything). Does not need to have a specific sequence. All of the dna represented is double stranded. Site of initiation = +1 (first nucleotide in transcript) Gene = all sequences needed to produce a functional rna (both transcribed and regulatory (control) regions. Pretty much same thing as an enhancer - activator domain. *promoters do not need all of these elements. In general, genes that have tata do not have inr and vice versa.
