Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA from DNA template a- a fist step in gene
expression.The enzyme RNA polymerase copies a particular segment of DNA into RNa and it
represents the primary level at which gene expression is regulated in prokaryotes and eukaryotic
systems .the mechanism is similar in both prokayotes and eukaryotes .
In eukaryotic systems distinct factors known as the transcription initiation factors are required
and have a promoter region upstream from the gene or an enhancer region either up or
downstream from the gene and with specific motifs that are recognized by various types of
transcription factors .
The transcription factors bind and attract other transcripton factors to create a complex thus
facilitating the binding of RNA polymerase ii and hence the process of transcription. These
transcription factors are classified into genreral transcription factors which represent the basic
transcription machinery and gene specific transcription factor.
The transcrption factors are specific proteins that are required for RNA polymerase II to initiate
transcrption and contain one or more DNA binding domains (DBD) which attach to specific
DNA sequence adjacent to the gene that they regulate.
DNA binding domains is an independently folded domain which contains one motif that can
recognize a specific DNA sequence or general affinity to DNA. There are several different type
of DNA binding domains like the Helix turn Helix domain, Zinc finger domain ,Dimerization
domain , Leucine zipper etc.
Helix turn Helix domain: is characteristic of DNA binding proteins, composed of two -helices
joined by a short strand of amino acids and is found commonly in several proteins that regulate
gene expression. helix-turn-helix proteins include the homeodomain proteins, which play critical
roles in the regulation of gene expression during embryonic development
Zinc finger domain :They contain repeats of cysteine and histidine residues that bind zinc ions
and fold into looped structures that bind DNA first identified in the polymerase III transcription
factor TFIIA but are also found in transcription factors that regulate polymerse II promoters.
,Dimerization domain :,These domains bring about dimerization of two polypeptide chains as
seen in helix turn helkix domians , leucine zipper domain.
The transcrptional activator domains or the TAD are the regions of transcription factors which in
conjunction with DNA binding domain can activate transcrption from promoter by contacting
transcriptional machinery either directly or through other protein coactivators.
The transcriptional repressor domain TRDS are the regions of the transcription factors which in
conjuation with the DNA binding domain can repress transcirption from a promoter by
contacting transcrptional machinery eit.
Activation of gene expression by transcription factorsSaad Salih
in eukaryotic cells, environmental stimuli commonly lead to activation of transcription factors and alteration of gene expression levels1. ... For example, the interaction between a transcription factor and DNA can be perturbed by either a change in DNA sequence or a change in the accessibility of the DNA by nucleosomes
Prokaryotic transcription involves RNA polymerase binding to promoter sequences on DNA and synthesizing RNA without the need for primers. It proceeds through initiation, elongation, and termination stages. Eukaryotic transcription is more complex, utilizing three RNA polymerases and involving transcription factors, mediator complexes, 5' capping, splicing, and 3' polyadenylation to process mRNA. Alternative splicing allows single genes to code for multiple proteins through different combinations of exons.
Gene expression in eukaryotes is controlled at multiple levels, including chromatin structure, transcription, RNA processing, and translation. Chromatin structure determines if genes are transcriptionally active or inactive. Transcription is regulated by the interaction of promoters, transcription factors, and enhancers. RNA processing controls splicing and transport of mRNA. Finally, translation and post-translational modifications further regulate gene expression. Overall, eukaryotic gene expression is tightly controlled through complex mechanisms at the chromatin, transcription, RNA, translation, and protein levels.
This document discusses the regulation of gene expression through transcriptional control mechanisms. It begins by explaining that gene expression is regulated by extracellular signals through modification of transcription factors, and that this transcriptional regulation plays important roles in nervous system functioning. It then describes the various steps in the process of gene expression, with a focus on transcriptional regulation. Specifically, it explains that transcription initiation is a key control point, and involves positioning RNA polymerase at start sites and controlling initiation rates. Core promoters set the start sites and direction of transcription for RNA polymerases. Transcription factors are also described as key regulators that recruit the basal transcription complex and achieve significant transcription levels.
This presentation is about the transcription machinery that is required for the transcription in eukaryotes. The comparison between the transcription factors involved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The initiation of transcription and how it helps in producing a mRNA.

Promoters and enhancers contain binding sites for transcription factors that are important for initiating transcription. Promoters are located near the start site of transcription and contain binding sites dispersed over 200 bp. Enhancers can be located farther away, containing a more closely packed array of binding sites, and enhance transcription by interacting with proteins bound at the promoter. Eukaryotic transcription involves RNA polymerases and many transcription factors that recognize specific sequences in promoters and enhancers to regulate when and where genes are expressed.
Transcription factors are proteins that regulate gene expression by binding to DNA and controlling the transcription of genes. They activate or repress transcription by interacting with RNA polymerase and other transcription factors at promoter and enhancer regions. This allows for precise control of which genes are expressed in different cell types and developmental stages. Transcription factors play a key role in cellular logic and decision-making by integrating various signals to determine whether a gene should be transcribed.

The promoter region is a DNA sequence located near the transcription start site of a gene that initiates transcription by RNA polymerase binding to it. Promoters contain response elements that provide binding sites for RNA polymerase and transcription factors. There are three main portions of a promoter: the core promoter contains the RNA polymerase binding site and transcription start site; the proximal promoter contains regulatory elements; and the distal promoter further upstream also contains regulatory elements. In prokaryotes, the core promoter contains -10 and -35 sequences recognized by sigma factors associated with RNA polymerase. In eukaryotes, transcription requires many general transcription factors and RNA polymerase is specific to the type of RNA transcribed. Regulation of transcription involves repressors and activators that bind
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA using a DNA template. It involves three main steps - initiation, elongation, and termination. In initiation, RNA polymerase binds to promoter sequences on DNA and unwinds the double helix. In elongation, RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand and adds complementary RNA nucleotides. Termination occurs when the polymerase reaches a terminator sequence and stops adding nucleotides. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes have similar transcription mechanisms but eukaryotes have three RNA polymerases and require additional transcription factors.
Eukaryotic transcription is carried out by three nuclear RNA polymerases that transcribe different genes. RNA polymerase II transcribes protein-coding genes in the nucleus. During transcription initiation, transcription factors help recruit RNA polymerase II to the promoter. Elongation occurs as RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA in a transcription bubble. Termination of RNA polymerase II transcription occurs via cleavage of the nascent RNA transcript followed by RNA degradation. The other polymerases terminate via sequence-specific signals in DNA or the synthesized RNA.

6. The basal promoter
The basal promoter contains a sequence of 7 bases (TATAAAA) called the TATA box.
It is bound by a large complex of some 50 different proteins, including
•Transcription Factor IID (TFIID) which is a complex of
TATA-binding protein (TBP), which recognizes and binds to the TATA box
14 other protein factors which bind to TBP — and each other — but not to the
DNA.
•Transcription Factor IIB (TFIIB) which binds both the DNA and pol II.
7. The gene control region of a typical eukaryotic gene. The promoter is the DNA
sequence where the general transcription factors and the polymerase assemble. The
regulatory sequences serve as binding sites for gene regulatory proteins, whose
presence on the DNA affects the rate of transcription initiation. These sequences can
be located adjacent to the promoter, far upstream of it, or even within introns or
downstream of the gene. DNA looping is thought to allow gene regulatory proteins
bound at any of these positions to interact with the proteins that assemble at the
promoter. Whereas the general transcription factors that assemble at the promoter
are similar for all polymerase II transcribed genes, the gene regulatory proteins and
the locations of their binding sites relative to the promoter are different for each
gene.
8. The DNA between the enhancer and the promoter loops out to allow the
activator proteins bound to the enhancer to come into contact with
proteins (RNA polymerase, one of the general transcription factors, or
other proteins) bound to the promoter. The DNA thus acts as a tether,
helping a protein bound to an enhancer even thousands of nucleotide pairs
away to interact with the complex of proteins bound to the promoter.
