Document Summary

Cells build the proteins it needs from instructions encoded in its dna. Central dogma: flow of info = dna mrna proteins. Two major steps of central dogma: (1) transcription and (2) translation. 1st step of central dogma is to synthesize an rna version of instructions from. Template strand = read by rna polymerase. Non-template/coding strand = not read by rna polymerase; matches sequence of rna transcribed from template; codes for polypeptide. Rna polymerases do not require a primer to begin transcription! Eukaryotes have 3 distinct types of rna polymerase. Sigma, a detachable protein subunit, must bind to rna polymerase in order for it to initiate transcription! Core enzyme = rna poly which contains the active site for catalysis, sigma, and other proteins. Sigma is needed because it binds the holoenzyme to sections of dna called promoters which are areas where transcription can start.
