Thelac repressor bound to operator sequences and the CAP-cAMP in complex with its30 bp binding site. The TATA box and -35 region of the promoter are also indicated.
Catabolite repression happens when glucose (a catabolite) levels are high. • Then cyclic AMP is inhibited from forming. • When glucose levels drop, more cAMP forms. • cAMP binds to a protein called CAP (catabolite activator protein), which is then activated to bind to the CAP binding site. • This activates transcription, perhaps by increasing the affinity of the site for RNA polymerase. • This phenomenon is called catabolite repression,

Figure 31-49 The sequence of transesterification reactions that splice together the exons of eukaryotic pre-mRNAs. 1. The 2’-OH group of a specific intron A residue in the intron nucelophilically attacks the 5’-phosphate at the 5’-intron boundary producing a 2’,5’-cyclic structure. Page 1259
2. The liberated 3’-OH group attacks the 5’-phosphate of the 5’-terminal residue of the 3’exon, forming a 3’,5’-PD bond and displacing the intron lariat.
Base pairing between U1 snRNA and the 5’ splice site of an mRNA precursor is necessary but not sufficient for splicing to occur.
The U6 snRNP associates with the 5’-end of the intron by base pairing prior to lariat formation. U6 also associates with U2 (not the band). U2 base-pairs with the conserved sequence at the splice branch point and with U6.
