What is the TATA box
- area 25 nucleotides 5' (upstream) of transcription site that directs RNA polymerase to transcription site
What is the CAAT box?
- area 75 nucleotides 5' (upstream) that helps recruit RNA polymerase
What are the importance of the transcription factors that are upstream?
- help regulate efficiency of tATA and transcription site
What do promotors do?
- DNA sequence where Pol II binds to and begins transcription
What do enhancers do?
- DNA sequences that stimulate Pol II transcription
What does RNA polymerase I transribe?
- rRNAs (28S, 18S, 5.8S)
What does RNA polymerase II transcribe?
- mRNA, microRNA
What does RNA polymerase III transcribe?
- small RNA (tRNA, 5SRNA)
What does position independent and orientation independent mean and what element does this refer to?
- position-i: acting either 3' to or 5' to gene)
- orientation-i: acting in natural orientation or flipped onto other strand
refers to enhancer
