Explain Molecular Mechanisms of Transcription Repression and Activation.
Briefly describe the significance of regulatory factors in transcription process. Why the promoter is called an essential regulatory element.
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?
