Transcription
Transcription is the process by which RNA is producedfrom a DNA template.

Transcription
DNA has to separate at the position where transcription occurs.

Transcription Initiates at Promoter Sequences
What is a gene?
Example of E.coli Lactose Operon Organization

P: Promoter O: Operator I: Inhibitor

Structural genes follow promotersequences
In E. coli, the lactose operon consists of 3 structural genes:
Beta-Galactosidase (Z) Galactoside Permease (Y) Thiogalactoside Transacetylase (A)

Elongation: RNA Chain Growth
3’-OH group acts as a nucleophile, attacking the alpha phosphate group,
with subsequent release of inorganic pyrophosphate.

DNA Supercoiling
Positivesupercoiling
Negativesupercoiling
1. RNA polymerase is processive2. Once an RNAP has moved from the promoter, another
can bind3. Transcription is fast:
constitutive enzymes vs. inducible enzymes

Termination of Transcription
Because the newly synthesized RNA is single-stranded,hairpin structures can easily form from the
termination sequence.

Transcription in Eukaryotes
• RNA Polymerase I– Precursors to rRNA
• RNA Polymerase II– Precursors to mRNA
• RNA Polymerase III– Precursors to 5S rRNA, tRNA– Precursors to other small RNA’s
