RNA Polymerase What are the three enzymes needed for transcription? Activator Transcription factor
What is the role of the activator? Activator folds over and touches enzyme which is the signal to begin transcription.
What is the role of RNA polymerase? RNA polymerase (enzyme) reads the gene and matches RNA nucleotides to create a mRNA strand that will code for that protein.
Enhancer DNA code Activator Activators in cell CELL #1 Which proteins made in cell? Coding sequence gene A Coding sequence gene B Coding sequence gene C Which activator matches to the gene? Protein C gene C mRNA
Enhancer DNA code Activator CELL #2 Activators in cell Which proteins made in cell? B and C Coding sequence gene A Coding sequence gene B Coding sequence gene C CELL #3 Activators in cell Which proteins made in cell? B and A Coding sequence gene A Coding sequence gene B Coding sequence gene C
Activators in cell Activators in cell Enhancer DNA code Activator Coding sequence gene D Coding sequence gene D Coding sequence gene E Coding sequence gene E CELL #5 CELL #4 Coding sequence gene F Coding sequence gene F Coding sequence for protein Coding sequence for protein Which proteins made in cell? Which proteins made in cell? F and E D and F
Activators in cell Enhancer DNA code Activator Coding sequence gene D Coding sequence gene E CELL #6 Coding sequence gene F Coding sequence for protein Which proteins made in cell? E +
How can cells have the same DNA but different proteins? - Genes require different activators. - Proteins are only made when activator is available.
