Document Summary

We usually say the gene is turned on we mean that its mores likely to be transcribed actively. Immediately upstream of the transcription unit is the promoter region , often the tataaa box. Rna polymerase ii itself cannot recognize the promoter sequence. Instead proteins called transcription factors bind to the tata box and then rna polymerase ii locates the promoter. Promoter proximal region is upstream from the promoter region, regulatory proteins bind to it and inhibit or enhance transcription. Enhancer: more upstream from the proximal region, regulatory proteins bind to it and inhibit or enhance transcription. Activation of transcription: general transcription factor: bind to the promoter in the area of the tata box, activators: regulatory proteins that play a role in positive regulatory system that controls the expression of one or more genes. Coordinated regulation of transcription of genes with related functions. Dna methylation: enzymes add a methyl group to cytosine bases in the dna.
