Document Summary

Rna polymerase ii cannot recognize promoter sequence, so transcription factors bind to tata box and recruit. Promoter proximal region: located upstream from teh the promoter, where tancsription factors bind to: may have inhibitory or enhancing effects. Is initiated when general transcription factors bind to the promoter in tata box. Activator binding to enhancer greatly increases transcription. Or have their own site, that somehow prevents interaction with coactivators. Combining few regulatory proteins in particular ways, transcription of a wide array of genes can be controlled. Genes with related functions clustered and transcribed from one promoter onto a single mrna. Dna methylation adds enzymes to cytosine bases in dna (located in promoter region) Transcription of genes controlled by those is reduced. An inherited methylated gene is not expressed. Epigenetics: change in gene is achieved w/o change in dna sequence of gene. Enzyme remove methylated region from promoter, which activates gene.
