Translation
TRANSCRIPTION
Transcription is a process in which ribonucleic acid (RNA) is
synthesized from DNA.
The word gene refers to the functional unit of the DNA that
can be transcribed.
Transcription is selective
The product formed in transcription is referred to as primary transcript.
Most often, the primary RNA transcripts are inactive. They undergo certain
alterations (splicing, terminal additions, base modifications etc.) commonly
known as post-transcriptional modifications, to produce functionally active
RNA molecules.
TRANSCRIPTION IN PROKARYOTES
A single enzyme—DNA-dependent RNA polymerase or simply RNA polymerase—
synthesizes all the RNAs in prokaryotes.
Transcription involves three different stages—initiation, elongation and
termination.
Initiation
The binding of the enzyme RNA polymerase to DNA is the prerequisite for the
transcription to start.
The specific region on the DNA where the enzyme binds is known as promoter
region.
sigma factor of RNA polymerase can recognize for initiation of transcription
Pribnow box (TATA box)
Located on the left side about 10 bases away
The ‘–35’sequence :
It contains a base sequence TTGACA, which is located about 35 bases away on the
left side from the site of
transcription start.
Elongation
RNA is synthesized from 5’ end to 3’ end (5’-3’) antiparallel to the DNA template.
RNA polymerase utilizes ribonucleotide triphosphates (ATP, GTP, CTP and UTP)
for the formation of RNA.
Termination
1. Rho (ρ) dependent termination
2. Rho (ρ) independent termination - This occurs due to the presence of palindromes.
TRANSCRIPTION IN EUKARYOTES
RNA synthesis in eukaryotes is a much more complicated process than the transcription
described above for prokaryotes.
RNA polymerases
RNA polymerase I is responsible for the synthesis of precursors for the large ribosomal
RNAs.
RNA polymerase II synthesizes the precursors for mRNAs and small nuclear RNAs.
RNA polymerase III participates in the formation of tRNAs and small ribosomal RNAs.
There also exists a mitochondrial RNA polymerase in eukaryotes.
PROMOTER SITES
This sequence, known as Hogness box (or TATA box), located on the left about 25
nucleotides away
CAAT box, between 70 and 80 nucleotides upstream from the start of transcription.
Initiation of transcription
1. Chromatin containing the promoter sequence made accessible to the transcription
machinery.
2. Binding of transcription factors (TFs) to DNA sequences in the promoter region.
3. Stimulation of transcription by enhancers.
In humans, about six transcription factors have been identified (TFIID, TFIIA, TFIIB,
TFIIF, TFIIE, TFIIH)
Enhancer can increase gene expression by about 100 fold.
Heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA)
The primary mRNA transcript produced by RNA polymerase II in eukaryotes is often
referred to as heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). This is then processed to produce
mRNA needed for protein synthesis.
