15 Transcription Cycle of Prokaryotic RNA polymerase
16 Directions of Transcription
17 Transcription Elongation and Termination DNA unwinding: ~17 bp ~12 bp
18 Transcription Termination in Prokaryotes (1) ρ(rho) -independent terminator Region of dyad symmetry centered about bases upstream of the last nucleotide in the transcript. Absolute sequence is not conserved, but the hairpin structure is conserved. A string of ~6 U's in RNA product 5 UUUUUU
19 Model for the mechanism of rho-independent termination 1. Formation of the hairpin causes RNA polymerase to pause. 2. Formation of the hairpin in the nascent RNA limits the RNA/DNA hybrid to a short segment of da/u base pairs 3. Nascent RNA is released, DNA/DNA hybrid re-forms, and RNA polymerase falls off
20 Transcription Termination in Prokaryotes (2) ρ(rho) -dependent terminator Hairpin structure similar to rho-independent terminators Lack the poly-u stretch Require the activity of a rho-protein, a trans-acting factor that functions as a homohexamer
21 Model for the mechanism of rho-dependent termination 1. Rho translocates 5' to 3' along nascent RNA 2. Rho binds consensus sequence (rut : rho utilization) located approximately 100 bases upstream of the transcriptional termination site 3. RNA polymerase pauses at hairpin 4. Rho unwinds DNA/RNA hybrid (RNA-dependent ATPase activity)
22 Regulation of Transcription Initiation in Prokaryotes Different s factors Recognize different consensus sequences e.g. E. coli s 70 s 54 s 32 s s Transcription factors Activators Repressors Negative supercoiling Gyrase (Topoisomerase II) generates negative supercoiling Topoisomerase I Relaxes excess negative supercoiling
23 Regulation of mrna Transcription in Prokaryotes Negative controlled system Repressor Repression in the presence of effector molecule Repression with a coreporessor
24 Trp Repressor
25 Regulation of mrna Transcription in Prokaryotes Positive controlled system Activator Promoting RNA polymerase activity Activated or repressed by effectors
26 Repressors and Activators

28 Components of Transcriptional Control in Eukaryotes Cis elements: Regulatory DNA sequences Promoter RNA polymerase binding site (TATA box) Promoter-proximal elements Enhancer (eukaryotes only) Trans elements: Specific proteins binding to the regulatory sequence RNA polymerase complex RNA polymerase General transcription factors Mediators Transcription factors Activators Repressors
29 Promoter Elements in Eukaryotic Transcription TATA box: direct RNA polymerase bp upstream of TC start site Promoter proximal elements: 10 to 20 bp < 200 bp of TC start site Enhancer: Composed of multiple elements of bp, 100 bp long Upto 50 kb upstream or downstream, or within an intron

45 Polyadenylation The polyadenylation sequence is bound by a cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF). An endonuclease cleaves the transcript. PolyA polymerase binds to CPSF, adding up to 250 adenylate residues to the 3' end of the transcript.
