What is the role of general transcription factors?
GTFs bind to enhancers or silencers and regulate transcription
GTFs bind to the core promoter and allow transcriptional initiation
GTFs are cis-acting regulatory sequences
GTFs regulate the length of the mRNA
GTFs are part of the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme, and control transcription initiation
How can transcription factors influence the transcription of DNA? Select all that apply.
Consider this list (below) of steps involved in transcription. These steps are out of order.
TRANSCRIPTION:
1. mRNA travels through a nuclear pore and enters the cytoplasm
2. the mRNA polymerase attaches at the start of a specific gene
3. RNA polymerase reads the gene surface4. a transcription factor bonds to a promoter site5. DNA molecule is unwound
6. a complimentary mRNA is produced
What is the correct order of this transcription?

- Some drugs may reduce DNA methylation at the promoter of the reelin gene. What is the likely impact that this has on reelin expression? Group of answer choices: increased transcription decreased transcription no change in transcription, but decrease in translation no effect on transcription, but increase in translation altered pattern of DNA replicationarrow_forwardWhich of the following functions are characteristic of general transcription factors in eukaryotes? Hint: there may be more than one correct response. Be sure to check all that apply. They inhibit RNA polymerase binding to the promoter and begin transcribing. They bind to other proteins or to the TATA box. They are sufficient to allow high levels of transcription. O They initiate and regulate the transcription of genes. O They bind to sequences just after the start site of transcription.arrow_forwardA particular mutation in the bacterial sigma factor allows this protein to bind RNA polymerase but prevents it from coming off (detaching) RNA polymerase once it binds. What specific effect will this mutation have on transcription? It will prevent the transcription termination exerted by the Rho protein. It will prevent the formation of closed complexes between RNA polymerase and the promoter. It will prevent the formation of open complexes between RNA polymerase and the promoter. It will prevent the transition from the transcription initiation to the transcription elongation stage. It will prevent the synthesis of abortive RNA transcripts while the RNA polymerase is bound at the promoter.arrow_forward

O mRN would not stop being transcribed from the DNA. O The phosphorylation cascade would continue to release excess phosphates. O mRNA would stop being translated from the DNA. O Receptor proteins would not bind to the signaling hormone.arrow_forward
- Listed below are steps in the transcription process. Reorganize the list so the steps in the correct order- starting with the first step in initiating transcription and ending with completion of a new strand of RNA (in other words- from start to finish of transcription). RNA polymerase reaches the termination signal DNA unwinds underneath RNA polymerase at transcription start site RNA polymerase is recruited to the promoter region mRNA transcript is released General Transcription factors bind TATA box (and other DNA sequences) in the promoter region General Transcription Factors unbind from promoter region mRNA transcript synthesis occurs RNA polymerase moves along the template strand in the 3’ to 5’ directionarrow_forwardConsider gene expression in a prokaryotic or bacterial cell.

- A protein binds a DNA sequence several hundred base pairs upstream of a promoter in a eukaryotic organism. This results in an increased rate of transcription of the gene. What type of protein is this? Group of answer choices Activator Silencer Enhancer Repressorarrow_forwardThe sigma factor protein's role in transcription in E. coli includes which of the following? None of the answer options are correct. plays a role in transcription termination forms part of the core enzyme required for transcription initiation helps the siRNA to bind to the promoter All of the answer options are correct. contributes to the proof-reading activity of RNA polymerase And The role of tRNA is to serve as an intermediate in the decoding of genes. serve as general translational components of the ribosome. facilitate protein trafficking in protein secretion. facilitate splicing of pre-messenger RNAs. act as vehicles bringing amino acids to the site of protein synthesis. None of the answer choices are correct.arrow_forwardHow do activators facilitate transcription? Activator (inactive) Activator- binding site RNA polymerase Promoter Transcription normally off. RNA polymerase cannot bind to the promoter unless the activator is bound to the activator-binding site, but the activator is in an inactive form. Inducer Activator (active) Inducer helps turn transcription on. Transcription Inducer binds to the activator and changes its shape, allowing the activator to bind to the site. RNA polymerase can then bind to the promoter and initiate transcription.arrow_forward
