Transcription
Biol200
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Promoter | Region from -35 to -10 |
| +1 | Start of RNA synthesis |
| "ASE" | Enzyme |
| Sigma | Is a protein (amino acid) and cannot be base paired. Binds to promoter sequence. Opens up DNA by breaking H-bonds |
| RNA Polymerase | Binds to Sigma/DNA complex. Uses one strand of DNA as a template. |
| Elongation | Makes mRNA longer. |
| Termination of Transcription | The terminator stops the RNA polymerase and mRNA folds on itself "stem-loop" |
| Ribosome | Binding site (purine-rich). Machinery for translation. Most of Ribosome is rRNA and some proteins as well. |
