13.2 Transcription Is the Synthesis of an RNA Molecule from a DNA Template
RNA polymerase enzyme reads template and synthesizes complementary RNA sequence
![Page 9: Primary structure Secondary structure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/5681348a550346895d9b6ea0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Template
The transcribed strand: template strand
Transcription will produce an RNA molecule that resembles the opposite strand or the nontemplate strand
RNA polymerase moves along template strand in 3’-5’ direction and produces new RNA in 5’-3’ much as in DNA replication.
![Page 10: Primary structure Secondary structure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/5681348a550346895d9b6ea0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Usually only one strand will serve as template in a region of DNA, however, throughout the DNA molecule each strand can be used as template

The Template
• The transcription unit
• Promoter-initiates transcription
• RNA coding sequence-contains sequence that will be reflected in RNA molecule
• Terminator-halts transcription and releases RNA molecule

site• Pribnow box: • 5′ TATAAT 3′• 3′ ATATTA 5′
• −35 consensus sequence: TTGACA

Initiation
• Initial RNA synthesis: No primer is required.
• The location of the consensus sequence determines the position of the start site.
![Page 25: Primary structure Secondary structure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/5681348a550346895d9b6ea0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Elongation
• RNA elongation is carried out by the action of RNA polymerase.
![Page 26: Primary structure Secondary structure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/5681348a550346895d9b6ea0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Termination
• Rho-independent termination: hairpin structure formed by inverted repeats, followed by a string of uracils
• Rho-dependent termination: a hairpin slows down polymerase allowing a trailing protein called rho to catch up and dislodge the polymerase from the template

Transcription and Nucleosome Structure – Chromatin modification before transcription
• Promoters:
• Basal transcription apparatus
• Transcriptional activator proteins
• RNA polymerase II – mRNA synthesis
• Core promoter TATA box TATAAAA, −25 to −30 bp, binded by transcription factors
![Page 31: Primary structure Secondary structure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/5681348a550346895d9b6ea0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Transcription and Nucleosome Structure – Chromatin modification before transcription
• Promoters:
• Regulatory promoter
• A variety of different consensus sequences may be found in the regulatory promoters.
• Main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is in assembly of complex structures at promoter in eukaryotes
![Page 32: Primary structure Secondary structure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/5681348a550346895d9b6ea0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Transcription and Nucleosome Structure – Chromatin modification before transcription
• Enhancers: distant regions of DNA that increase transcription levels• Bound by initiation complex proteins and loop
around to interact with promoter region
• Polymerase I and polymerase III promoters• Distinct from those of polymerase II• May sometimes be downstream of transcription
start site

Termination
• RNA polymerase I-terminated by protein that binds DNA downstream of termination sequence
• RNA polymerase II-terminated by complex mechanism involving RNA cleavage and Rat1 protein
• RNA polymerase III-terminates after long poly-U transcript.

Transcription in Eubacteria
• This suggests a closer relationship between archaea and eukaryotes.
