Eukaryotic Transcriptional Control exam Flashcards

Proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences to regulate transcription initiation.

They are essential for the transcription of all genes and recruit RNA polymerase to the promoter region.

A DNA sequence in the promoter region that recruits the transcription initiation complex (TIC).

A complex of general transcription factors and RNA polymerase bound to the promoter region.

Proteins that bind to control elements to regulate the transcription of specific genes.

Regions of noncoding DNA where specific transcription factors bind.

Control elements located far from the promoter region; a group of these is called an enhancer.

A group of distal control elements where specific transcription factors bind.

Control elements located close to the promoter region.

It synthesizes RNA from the DNA template during transcription.

A DNA sequence where general transcription factors and RNA polymerase bind to initiate transcription.

General transcription factors are required for all genes, while specific transcription factors regulate specific genes.

It helps recruit the transcription initiation complex to the promoter region.

DNA sequences that transcription factors bind to in order to control gene expression.

General transcription factors and specific transcription factors.

Control elements located far from the promoter region.

The mechanisms that regulate whether and how much a gene is transcribed.

They are control elements located close to the promoter region that specific transcription factors bind to.

A DNA sequence where transcription factors and RNA polymerase bind to initiate transcription.

The process of turning genes on and off to ensure that the correct proteins are made at the right times.

It initiates transcription by recruiting RNA polymerase to the promoter region.

A group of distal control elements where specific transcription factors bind to increase transcription.

They are required for the transcription of all genes and help recruit RNA polymerase to the promoter region.

Regions of noncoding DNA where specific transcription factors bind to regulate gene expression.
