15.3 Eukaryotic Transcription Flashcards
1
Q
small nuclear RNA
A
A molecules synthesized by RNA polymerase III that have a variety of functions, including splicing pre-mRNAs and regulating transcription factors
2
Q
CAAT box
A
(GGCCAATCT) essential eukaryotic promoter
sequence involved in binding transcription factors
3
Q
GC-rich boxes
A
(GGCG) nonessential eukaryotic promoter
sequence that binds cellular factors to increase the
efficiency of transcription; may be present several times
in a promoter
4
Q
octamer box
A
(ATTTGCAT) nonessential eukaryotic
promoter sequence that binds cellular factors to increase
the efficiency of transcription; may be present several
times in a promoter
