  2. Promoter (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_(genetics)

    The promoter is recognized by RNA polymerase and an associated sigma factor, which in turn are often brought to the promoter DNA by an activator protein's binding to its own DNA binding site nearby. In eukaryotes The process is more complicated, and at least seven different factors are necessary for the binding of an RNA polymerase II to the ...

  3. RNA polymerase III - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_III

    In eukaryote cells, RNA polymerase III (also called Pol III) is a protein that transcribes DNA to synthesize 5S ribosomal RNA, tRNA, and other small RNAs. The genes transcribed by RNA Pol III fall in the category of "housekeeping" genes whose expression is required in all cell types and most environmental conditions.

  4. RNA polymerase II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_II

    RNA polymerase II holoenzyme is a form of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II that is recruited to the promoters of protein-coding genes in living cells. [11] It consists of RNA polymerase II, a subset of general transcription factors , and regulatory proteins known as SRB proteins.

  5. RNA polymerase II holoenzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_II_holoenzyme

    RNA polymerase II holoenzyme is a form of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II that is recruited to the promoters of protein-coding genes in living cells. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It consists of RNA polymerase II , a subset of general transcription factors , and regulatory proteins known as SRB proteins [ clarification needed ] .

  6. Promoter activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_activity

    Promoter activity of the P-RM and P-R promoters vs RNA polymerase concentration in the enterobacteriophage lambda [1]. Promoter activity is a term that encompasses several meanings around the process of gene expression from regulatory sequences —promoters [2] and enhancers. [3]

  7. RNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase

    In archaea and eukaryotes, the functions of the bacterial general transcription factor sigma are performed by multiple general transcription factors that work together. The RNA polymerase-promoter closed complex is usually referred to as the "transcription preinitiation complex." [13] [14]

  8. Eukaryotic Promoter Database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_Promoter_Database

    EPD (Eukaryotic Promoter Database) is a biological database and web resource of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II promoters with experimentally defined transcription start sites. [1] Originally, EPD was a manually curated resource relying on transcript mapping experiments (mostly primer extension and nuclease protection assays ) targeted at ...

  9. TATA box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TATA_box

    Mechanism for transcription initiation at the TATA box. Transcription factors, TATA binding protein (TBP), and RNA polymerase II are all recruited to begin transcription. The TATA box is a component of the eukaryotic core promoter and generally contains the consensus sequence 5'-TATA(A/T)A(A/T)-3'. [3]
