Transcription in prokaryotes

Page 2: Transcription in prokaryotes. In prokaryotes, only one RNA polymerase is responsible for the synthesis of all RNA ( except for the RNA primers required

In prokaryotes, only one RNA polymerase is responsible for the synthesis of all RNA (except for the RNA primers required for replication)

Compare the mechanism of action of RNA polymerase and DNA polymerase.

Similarities

• Substrate for both - nucleoside triphosphates

• Pyrophosphate released for every NTP added

• Always in the 5’3’ direction

Differences

• Recognizes the site for initiation of transcription

• Ribose sugar and uracil

• No primer required

• No proofreading activity

[2][2]

For genes to be transcribed by RNA polymerase the appropriate initiation site must be recognized.

I.How does the RNA polymerase know where to start transcription?

II.How does the sequence of the Pribnow box relate to its function?

Each of the two DNA strands can serve as templates for transcription

I. What determines which of the two DNA strands will be transcribed??

II. Can both the DNA strands be transcribed??

III. Which is the sense (coding) and anti- sense (noncoding) strand ??

IV. The RNA has the same sequence as which one of the two DNA strands?

[3][3]

Page 8: Transcription in prokaryotes. In prokaryotes, only one RNA polymerase is responsible for the synthesis of all RNA ( except for the RNA primers required

What determines which of the two DNA strands will be transcribed??the location of the promoter

Can both the DNA strands be transcribed??Yes, but for a given gene only one strand will be the template

Which is the sense (coding) and anti- sense (noncoding) strand ??Sense strand = the same sequence as the mRNA, contains the promoterantisense = acts as the template, complementary sequence to the mRNA.

Transcription

Page 10: Transcription in prokaryotes. In prokaryotes, only one RNA polymerase is responsible for the synthesis of all RNA ( except for the RNA primers required

[4][4]Three separate stages of transcription

INITIATION, ELONGATION, TERMINATION

Action Of Antibiotics on Transcription

• Rifampin - binds to subunit of prokaryotic RNA polymerase– tuberculosis

• Dactinomycin – binds to DNA, prevents the movement of RNA polymerase– Tumor chemotherapy

RNA Polymerase II

• 10-12 subunits

• The largest subunit contains a C-terminal region or domain (CTD) with 52 repeats of the amino acid sequence PTSPSYS

T = threonine

S = serine

Y = tyrosineCan be phosphorylated

Transcription factorsTranscription factors• Any protein that regulates transcription but is not

a part of RNA polymerase, is a transcription factor

• Six general transcription factors (GTFs) required for all promoters

– TFIIA– TFIIB– TFIID– TFIIE– TFIIF– TFIIH

+ RNA Polymerase II = Preinitiation complex

GTFs only produce a basal level of transcription

Enhancers/Silencers

• Upstream or downstream• Close to the promoter or thousands of base

pairs away• On either of the two strands of DNA• Act through intermediary or gene specific

transcription factors proteins• Enhancers activate transcription • Silencers deactivate transcription

Enhancers/Silencers

Page 28: Transcription in prokaryotes. In prokaryotes, only one RNA polymerase is responsible for the synthesis of all RNA ( except for the RNA primers required

Response Elements•Enhancers contain response elements that

are responsive to certain metabolic factors

–Cyclic AMP response element (CRE)–Glucocorticoid response element (GRE)–Heat shock element (HSE)

•REs bind transcription factors produced under certain cell conditions to activate several related genes
