RNA TRANSCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION:-
It is the
process , where using one strand of DNA as a template RNA is formed by the help
of RNA Polymerase by adding ribonucleotide, is called Transcription
WHAT IS RNA?
RNA, is ribonucleic acid, compound of
high molecular weight that functions in cellular protein synthesis and
replaces DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) as a carrier of genetic
codes. RNA consists of ribose nucleotides attached by phosphodiester
bonds, forming strands of varying lengths. The nitrogenous bases in RNA
are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil, which
replaces thymine in DNA.
NECESSITY OF:-
- Template DNA
- RNA Polymerase
- Ribonucleotide Triphosphate
- Sigma-Factor
- Row-Factor
PROCESS:-
The whole process is done through 3 steps. They are-
INITIATION
- RNA POL binds with particular
place of DNA. Site is Promoter site
- In case of Procaryote, Promoter
site is known as Pribnow box(5’TATAAT3’
- IN case of Eucaryote, Site is
known as TATA BOX (5’TATAAAA3’)
- After detecting promoter site
RNA POL attaches with binding site. Left side is UP stream and right side
is DOWN stream.
- RNA POL helps to destroy the
Hydrogen bond in the DNA and to separate two strand
- Adding Sigma Factor with RNA
POL it makes Holoenzyme and RNA synthesis starts. Adding 10 ribonucleotide
sigma factors become separated
ELONGATION:-
- After separation of Sigma
factor the lace f it s taken by NUS-A Protein.
- At the presence of NUS-A protein, RNA polymerase synthesis
RNA from 5’à3’
TERMINATION:-
- ROW-DEPENDENT TERMINATION:-
It Depends
on the presence of Row Protein
When it
comes contact with RNA Pol, t stops RNA synthesis And Transcription ends
b. ROW-INDEPENDENT TERMINATION:-
It does not
Depends on the presence of Row Protein. The Termination of process happens by
making hair pin loop structure by itself.
