Gene transcription and RNA modification - Transcription in eukaryotes
19 important questions on Gene transcription and RNA modification - Transcription in eukaryotes
Which two things make eukaryotic transcription more complex than prokaryotic transcription?
- Most eukaryotes have different celltypes, and therefore the eukaryotic transcription requires more appropriate timing and coordination.
What are the differences between the three types of RNA polymerase in eukaryotes?
- RNA polymerase II transcribes all the mRNA's and most of the snRNA's and other types of RNA's;
- RNA polymerase III transcribes all tRNA's and one rRNA, and some other types of RNA's.
Which two features do eukaryotic protein-encoding genes have to make sure that transcription occurs at an appropriate rate?
- Regulatory elements.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is a core promoter?
What is basal transcription?
What are regulatory elements?
Which two categories of regulatory elements are there?
- Silencers, which inhibit transcription (used when it's necessary to prevent transcription of a given gene).
What is the location of regulatory elements (relatively to the transcriptional start site)
What are cis-acting elements?
What are trans-acting elements?
Which 3 categories of proteins are needed for basal transcription at the core promoter?
Which five general transcription factors (GTF's) are needed for RNA polymerase II to initiate transcription?
What is the role of TFIID and how does its parts fulfill this function?
What is the function of TFIIH?
Another subunit hydrolyzes ATP and phosphorylates a domain in RNA polymerase called the CTD, which breaks down the contact between RNA polymerase II and TFIIB.
What happens after RNA polymerase II lost the contact with TFIIB?
What is the basal transcription apparatus?
- TFIID, TFIIB, TFIIF, TFIIE and TFIIH;
- RNA polymerase II;
- A DNA sequence containing a TATA-box and transcriptional start site.
In one sentence, how does termination in eukaryotes begin?
How does transcriptional termination occur, occording to the allosteric model?
- This destabilization is probably caused by the release of proteins that function as elongation factors or by the binding of proteins that function as termination factors.
How does transcriptional termination occur, according to the torpedo model?
- The region of RNA downstream from the polyadenylation signal sequence is cleaved by an exonuclease (5' to 3').
- When the exonuclease catches up to RNA polymerase II, this causes RNA polymerase II to dissociate from the DNA.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
