5. Role of DNA
Only one strand of DNA used
Template strand/Non coding strand
Non template strnd/ coding strand
6. Enzymes and factors
Eukaryotes prokaryotes
RNA polymerase
RNA polymerase I
RNA Polymerase II
RNA PolymeraseIII
General transcription
factor
RNA Polymerase
Only one type of RNA
polymerase
Sigma factor
11. Elongation
Core enzyme move over the template strand
Transcription bubble moves down the DNA
It leaves the growing strand
12. Termination
Eukaryotes Prokaryotes
Polyadenylation signal
(AAUAAA) transcribed
Reaches 10-35 bp downstream
RNA transcript released
Series of GC bp
Followed by AT bp
Hairpin U shaped
U ribonucleotide
15. Post transcriptional processing
EUKARYOTES Prokaryotes
mRNA travel from nucleus to
cytoplasm
Cap
5` end in the form of
7methylGTP
Tail
linked to 3`end in the form
of PolyA tail
mRNA directly released into
cytoplasm
No Cap and tail formation
17. steps
Phosphatase enzyme- removed 5` terminal phosphate
Guanosyl transferase- Produce diphosphate
Methyl transferase- transfer methyl group from S-
adenosyl methionine to guanine ring
Methyl group added to 2`OH of ribose
Protect from endonucleases
18. Mechanism of addition of tail
Polyadenylation sequence( 5`-AAUAAA-3`)
Cleavage site ( 5`-CA 3`)
RNA Polymerase II has two factors
CPSF
CStF
Cleavage occure , PAP fomed
Add 200 adenine unit to new 3` tail
Protect from endonucleases
