transcription Flashcards
(45 cards)
Ribose differ from deoxyribose
addl -OH
Uracil differs from Thymine
absence of a -CH3 group
All RNA is made by this
DNA transcription
mRNA codes in this direction
5’ -to- 3’
coding from gene to protein differ in euk and pro, which is more complicated?
Eukaryotes
Number of proteins coded in bacterial mRNA, euk mRNA
several, one
Main enzyme of transcription
RNA polymerases
Start of a chain requires a primer in DNA or RNA
DNA
Moves along DNA and adds nucleotides to RNA chain
RNA polymerase
form of nucleotide in RNA
ribonucleoside triphosphates
regulatory sequence that controls binding of RNA polymerase to DNA and identifies start site
promototer
frequency of transcriptions controlled by the regulatory sequences
cis
proteins that assist in binding and stability of RNA polymerase
trans
bacteria have this many RNA polymerase
one
protein that binds the core enzymes
sigma
Name the 3 eukaryote RNA polymerases
Pol I, Pol II, Pol III
Pol I produces this RNA
rRNA
Pol II produces this RNA
mRNA, miRNA, lincRNA
Pol III produces this RNA
tRNA and 5SrRNA
binding of these cause the DNA strands to unwind
RNA Pol and sigma factor
binding of a protein is called this
rho
core polymerase plus sigma factor in bacteria
holoenzyme
processing required for eukaryote mRNA
addition of 5’ cap, spicing of non-coding introns, addition of poly-A tail
eukaryotic require this number if protein subunits for transcription to occur
