Question 19: What sequences are important for the initiation of transcription in eukaryotes, and how does this compare to prokaryotic initiation? What sequence is important for the termination of transcription in eukaryotes, and how does this compare to prokaryotic termination? (There are very specific answers for each of these!)
Inititation of transcription: A promoter is a regulatory sequence or region of DNA, located upstream of a gene (towards 5' end). It provides a control for regulated gene transcription. A promoter has specific DNA sequences that bind to transcription factors, thus recruiting RNA polymerase which initiates mRNA synthesis from the coding region of the gene.
Sequences important for inititation of transcription in prokaryotes:
The promoter consists of two short sequences at -10 and -35 positions upstream from transcription start site
Sequences important for inititation of transcription in eukaryotes:
Termination of transcription:
Sequences important for termination of transcription in prokaryotes:
Two classes of transcription terminators, Rho-dependent and Rho- independent
Sequences important for termination of transcription in eukaryotes:
Termination mechanism of transcription in case of eukaryotes is not completely known. It may be directed by the poly A signal or by the presence of termination sequence in the DNA or the terminator

Question 11. Compare transcription and translation in eukaryotes in terms of a cellular and temporal locations, names of the initiation and termination points, enzymes involved, and final products. Be as specific as you can.
Last week we discussed the role of general transcription factors in forming the transcription initiation complex in eukaryotes. Next week we will look more closely at the regulation of gene expression and the role played by specific transcription factors. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes utilize very different mechanisms for determining which genes are turned on and off and when. In lieu of the prokaryotic operon model, eukaryotes employ a combinatorics approach utilizing both general and specific transcription factors. For this week’s forum,...

Looking at the diagram of transcription in eukaryotes and using the
information provided, how could the expression of lactase RNA be
turned on and off by transcription factors, activators and
repressors?
Styles Font Paragraph Activators bind to genes at Rapressors bind to genes seauences and at shaoser sequences and The expression of RNA in eukaryotes is initiated by the binding of basal transcription factors to the promoter sequence of a gene. This leads to the recruitment of RNA polymerase to...

Fill in the following chart with important factors and sequences required for pol I transcription. Then complete the chart as if there was a mutation in that factor or sequence. Factor or Sequence Describe the consequences Universal or gene specific What would the RNA look like? Why? UCE UBF1 unable to bind Gene specific Same but lower levels Only basal transcription would occur
There are some significant differences in how transcription is regulated in prokaryotes like E. coli versus eukaryotes. Which of the following statements concerning gene regulation is TRUE only in eukaryotes? (CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY AND NO INCORRECT ANSWERS) The promoter of a gene can act in a position and distance-independent manner. The genes involved in one process are usually situated next to each other in the genome and are transcribed in one mRNA. The default state of gene transcription is...
