BIOL 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Ribosomal Rna, Transfer Rna, Telomerase
Document Summary
Dna has lots of regions that are not coated that are repetitive. You can remodel chromatin, you can have transcription control. You take a gene and turn it into a functional protein. Relates to the amount of protein that is made. This is important for molding you into the person you are. These regulate transcription of 3 different gene types: rna polymerase 1. This will transcribe the dna that encodes rrna proteins. The proteins that make the ribosome: rna polymerase 2. Transcribe protein coating genes of mrna: rna polymerase 3. Transcribe the trna and the small nuclear rna"s. Dna sequences are present that are complicated that will regulate transcription. Transcription factors will bind to the dna specifically to at the tatabox before rna polymerase can bind to the dna. You have to have a full assembly of all the transcription factors before you can bind.
