Study Notes
Transcription and RNA
- RNA transcription starts at a specific region called the promoter site
- The promoter site is recognized by RNA polymerase, which binds to the DNA template
- The RNA polymerase reads the template DNA strand and matches the incoming nucleotides to the base pairing rules (A-T and G-C)
Lac Operon and Repressor
- The Lac Operon is a genetic system that regulates the transcription of genes involved in lactose metabolism
- The Lac Repressor is a protein that binds to the operator site, preventing RNA polymerase from transcribing the genes
- When lactose is present, an inducer molecule binds to the Lac Repressor, causing it to release its grip on the operator site, allowing transcription to occur
RNA Structure and Synthesis
- RNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, meaning that the 5-carbon sugar is added first and the 3-carbon sugar is added last
- The RNA polymerase reads the template DNA strand and matches the incoming nucleotides to the base pairing rules
- The RNA polymerase releases the mRNA transcript, which is then translated into protein
Rho Protein and Termination
- The Rho protein is a helicase that unwinds the DNA-RNA hybrid, allowing the RNA polymerase to release the mRNA transcript
- The Rho protein is responsible for terminating transcription by releasing the mRNA transcript and dissociating the RNA polymerase from the DNA template
