Objectives: • To know and explain: • What are needed for transcription • Template • Building blocks • Enzymes • Energy • Protein Factors • Different Stages of transcription • Initiation (promoter recognition) • Elongation • Termination • Differences between transcription in eu and prokaryotes • Toxins and antibiotics that inhibit transcription
Transcription in Prokaryotes
DNA Transcription Ribosome mRNA Translation Polypeptide (protein) Prokaryotic Transcription Cell
What are needed for transcription • Permission • Template (DNA, Gene) • Building blocks (4 types of NTPs) • Enzymes • Energy (ATP and the other NTPs) • Protein factors (σ & ρ)
Transcription Start Site 5’ 3’ Protein Coding Region 3’ 5’ RNA Transcript Promoter/ Control Region Terminator Sequence A “Simple” Prokaryotic Gene 3’ 5’ AUG UAA
E. coli RNA polymerase • Holoenzyme: 2 ’ for initiation • Core enzyme: 2 ’ for elongation
Different stages of Transcription • Recognition & Initiation • Elongation • Termination
RNA chain termination Inverted repeats Termination occurs at terminator DNA sequences. 1. Rho-independent: the most common stop signal by RNA hairpin formation(self-complement structure) commonly GC-rich to favor the structure stability 2. Rho-dependent Termination: RNA wraps around Rho hexamer and stops transcription. ρ- independent ρ- dependent

Different Eukaryotic RNA polymerases Basis of classification: 1- Elution at different salt concentrations during ion-exchange chromatography 2- Different sensitivity to α amanitin Pol I:very insensitive to α amanitin, transcribes the gene for pre-rRNA (28S, 5.8S, 18S) Pol II:very sensitive to α amanitin, transcribes all protein coding genes and the gene for snRNA Pol III:Intermediate sensitivity to α amanitin, transcribes the gene for tRNA, 5S rRNA, U6, RNA component of SRP
Transcription factors Definition: Proteins other than purified RNA polymerase subunits, involved in Initiation, Elongation or Termination of transcription Classification: A: General transcription factors (GTFs): 1- are needed for basal gene expression 2- are required for RNA polymerase to bind avidly and specifically to the promoters. 3-GTFs for RNA polymerase II are called TFIIA , TFIIB , TFIID , … 4- can have multiple subunits B: Specific transcription factors: They are used for fine tune control of gene expression of specific genes
mRNA modification The modifications signal the mRNA is ready to move out of the nucleus and may control its life span in the cytoplasm • 1) 5’ cap: modified guanine; protection; recognition site for ribosomes • 2) 3’ tail: poly(A) tail (adenine); protection; recognition; transport • 3) RNA splicing: exons (expressed sequences) kept, introns (intervening sequences) spliced out; spliceosome • 4) Alternative Splicing • 5) RNA editing
Alternative splicing Calcitonin gene-related peptide
Toxins and antibiotics that inhibit transcription • Actinomycine D: makes cross link between the two strands of DNA, preventing it from being template for transcription • Rifamycine ( Rifampin): inhibits beta subunit of RNAP of prokaryotes • Ricin: A toxin from plant that inhibits RNAP of eukaryotes • Amanitin: A toxin from mashroom that inhibits RNAP of eukaryotes
