BIO 326 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Rna Polymerase Iii, Eukaryotic Transcription, Regin
Document Summary
Rho protein binds to the rut site in rna and moves along the rna towards the 3" end. Rna polymerase reaches the terminator regino and pauses. During this pause, rho protein catches up to the open complex and separates the rna from the dna. The stem loop sequence is transcribed into the rna. The sphere of the stem loop in the. Rna causes rnap to pause at a u-rich region. The u-rich reginn of the rna is loosely bound to the dna template, the rna separates from the dna. Bacteria die when rnap is inactivated (killing bacteria for medical purposes) Several types of antibiotics used to treat infections such as tuberculosis bind to bacterial. Inactivated rnap kills the bacteria, since they can"t express their genes and reduces the infection. Eukaryotic cells are larger and more complex -> must produce many more different proteins than prokaryotic cells.
