Question

The TATA binding protein binds to _______________.

		the promoter in eukaryotes.
		the promoter proximal element.
		the +1 transcription start site
		the promoter in prokaryotes.

Answer 1

The TATA binding protein binds to the promoter in eukaryotes. the promoter proximal erement. the + 1 transcription start site. the promoter in prokaryotes. Eukaryotic promoters typically lie upstream of the gene and can have regulatory erements several kilobares away froom the transcriptional start site. In eukaryotes, the transcriptional complex can cause the DNA to bend back on it self, which allows for placement of reguratary sequences far from the actuar site of transcription. Many eukaryotic promoters, contain a TATA box [sequence TATARAT, which in turn binds a TATA binding protein which assists in the formation of the RNA polymerase transcriptional complexe. The TATA binding protein (TBP) is a trancription factor that birds specifically be called the TATA box. This to a DNA sequence called the TATA DNA sequence is found about 30 base pairs upstream of the transcription start in some eukaryotic gene promoters. site in some eukaryotic
