Transcription in eukaryotes
By the fall of 1953, the working hypothesis was adopted
that the chromosomal DNA functions as template for RNA
molecule .
The RNA molecule subsequently moves to the cytoplasm,
where they determine the arrangement of amino acid
within the proteins.
In 1956, F. Crick referred to this pathway as central dogma .
This pathway is :
Duplication DNA RNA Protein
Transcription Translation
It is the synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template.
All cellular RNAs are synthesized from the DNA templates
through this process.
DNA regions that can be transcribed into RNA are called
structural genes.
The template strand is the strand from which the RNA is
actually transcribed. It is also termed as antisense strand.
The coding strand is the also called as sense strand.
Only the template strand is used for the transcription, but the
coding strand is not.
only a small portion of DNA is transcribed in response to the
development requirement, physiological need and
environmental changes.
• Both processes use DNA as the template.
• Phosphodiester bonds are formed in both
cases.
• Both synthesis directions are from 5´ to 3´.

Differences between
replication and transcription
An enzyme that catalyzes RNA synthesis.
It does not need a primer, rather it can initiate transcription de
novo.
It performs the same reaction in all cells, from bacteria to
humans.
Bacteria have only a single RNA polymerase.
Eukaryotes have 3 RNA polymerases i.e. RNA Pol I, II & III.
Pol II is the most studied of these enzymes, and is responsible
for transcribing all protein-encoding genes.
Pol I & Pol III are responsible for transcribing specialized, Rna-
encoding genes.
The shape of RNA Polymerase resembles a crab claw.
Transcription by RNA Polymerase proceeds through a
series of well-defined steps which are grouped into 3
phases :
Initiation
Elongation &
Termination
Transcription in eukaryotes
• Transcription in eukaryotes is undertaken by different RNA
polymerases.
• Eukaryotes have 3 polymerases : Pol I, II & III.
• Several initiation factors are required for efficient &
promoter-specific initiation in eukaryotes, and are called as
general transcription factors (GTFs).
• In vitro, the GTFs is required, together with Pol II, to
initiate transcription on a DNA template.
• Sometimes the GTFs are not sufficient to promote
significant expression. Rather, the additional factors are
required such as mediator complex, DNA binding
regulatory proteins and chromatin modifying enzymes.
CORE PROMOTER :
• It refers to the minimal set of sequence elements required for
accurate transcription initiation by Pol II.
• A core promoter is about 40 nucleotides long, extending either
upstream or downstream of the transcription start site.
• Relative to the transcription start site, there are 4 elements
found in Pol II core promoter.
• These are the TFIIB recognition element (BRE), the TATA
element, the initiator (Inr) & the downstream promoter
elements (DPE).
• Promoter includes only 2 or 3 of these 4 elements.
• The GTFs help polymerase bind to the promoter and melt
DNA.
• The complete set of GTFs & polymerase bound together at the
promoter and poised for initiation, is called as pre-initiation
complex.
• Many Pol II promoters contains TATA elements, where pre-
initiation complex formation begins.
• The TATA elements recognized by GTFs called TFIID.
• The components of TFIID that binds to the TATA DNA
sequence is called TBP.
• The other subunit is TAFs that control the DNA binding activity
of TBP.
• The resulting TBP-DNA complex provide a platform for
attachment of other GTFs & polymerase.
• The factors TFIIA & TFIIB bind to this complex.
• After that TFIIF together with polymerase also bind to the
complex.
• At last, the two factors TFIIE & TFIIH bind to upstream of Pol.
II resulting in the formation of pre-initiation complex.
• Formation of this complex containing these all components is
followed by promoter melting.
• Promoter melting in eukaryotes requires hydrolysis of ATP and
is mediated by TFIIH.
• The large subunit of Pol. II has a C-terminal domain (CTD),
which extends as a ‘tail’.
• The CTD contains a series of repeats of heptapeptide sequence:
Tyr-Ser-Pro-Thr-Ser-Pro-Ser.
Transcription in eukaryotes
• Once polymerase has initiated transcription, it shifts into the
elongation phase.
• Elongation requires another set of factors, such as TFIIS &
hSPT5, known as elongation factors.
• This factors stimulate elongation and also required for RNA
processing.
• These factors also favor the phosphorylated form of CTD. The
phosphorylation of CTD leads to an exchange of initiation
factors with elongation factors.
• Various proteins are thought to stimulate elongation by Pol II.
• The protein P-TEFb stimulates elongation in 3 separate steps.
• This protein bound to Pol II and phosphorylates the serine
residue at position 2 of the CTD repeats .
• This P-TEFb also activates another protein, called hSPT5
which is an elongation factor.
• At last, this P-TEFb activates one another elongation factor
called TAT-SF1.
• Once the elongation is completed, it proceeds through the RNA
processing events i.e. polyadenylation and termination.
• Polyadenylation occurs at the 3 end of the mRNA which is linked
with the termination of transcription.
• The polymerase CTD tail is involved in recruiting the enzymes
necessary for polyadenylation.
• Two protein complexes are carried by the CTD of polymerase called,
CPSf (cleavage & polyadenylation specificity factor) & CstF
(cleavage stimulation factor).
• The sequences which one transcribed into RNA, trigger transfer of
these factors to the RNA , are called poly-A signals.
• Once CPSF & CstF bound to the RNA, it results in RNA cleavage
and then polyadenylation.
• After cleavage of RNA, polyadenylation is mediated by an
enzyme called poly-A polymerase (PAP) followed by the
addition of poly-A binding protein.
• This protein along with the enzyme uses ATP as precursor
and adds the nucleotides, using the same chemistry as RNA
polymerase.
• Before termination, the RNA molecule become very long
due to addition of several nucleotides.
• The polymerase along with CPSF & PAP then dissociates
from the template, releasing the new RNA, which is
degraded without ever leaving the nucleus.
• This involves the termination of RNA, i.e. the mature
mRNA is released from polymerase and then transported
from the nucleus.
POLYADENYLATION & TERMINATION
• This enzyme is related to Pol. II, but they initiate
transcription from distinct promoters and transcribed distinct
genes.
• Pol I is required for the expression of only one gene that
encoding the rRNA precursor.
• The promotor of rRNA genes comprises 2 parts : core
elements & UCE (upstream control element).
• In addition to Pol. I, initiation requires two other factors,
called SL1 & UBF.
• SL1 comprises TBP & three TAFs specific for transcription.
• These complex bound to the UCE in the presence of UBF
and stimulates transcription fromcore promoter by recruiting
Pol. I.
TRANSCRIPTION INITIATION BY RNA POLYMERASE I
• This enzyme is also related to Pol. II, and they initiate transcription
from distinct promoters and transcribed distinct genes.
• Pol. III promoters come in various forms and being located
downstream of the transcription start site.
• Some Pol III promoters consist of two regions, called Box A & Box
B.
• Same as Pol I & II, transcription by Pol III also requires transcription
factors along with polymerase.
• The factors are TFIIIB & TFIIIC.
• Firstly TFIIIC binds to the promoter region.
• After that the factor TFIIIB containing TBP is also binds to the
template strand
• This complex is formed which stimulates the initiation of
transcription.

  • 17. • After cleavage of RNA, polyadenylation is mediated by an enzyme called poly-A polymerase (PAP) followed by the addition of poly-A binding protein. • This protein along with the enzyme uses ATP as precursor and adds the nucleotides, using the same chemistry as RNA polymerase. • Before termination, the RNA molecule become very long due to addition of several nucleotides. • The polymerase along with CPSF & PAP then dissociates from the template, releasing the new RNA, which is degraded without ever leaving the nucleus. • This involves the termination of RNA, i.e. the mature mRNA is released from polymerase and then transported from the nucleus.
  • 19. • This enzyme is related to Pol. II, but they initiate transcription from distinct promoters and transcribed distinct genes. • Pol I is required for the expression of only one gene that encoding the rRNA precursor. • The promotor of rRNA genes comprises 2 parts : core elements & UCE (upstream control element). • In addition to Pol. I, initiation requires two other factors, called SL1 & UBF. • SL1 comprises TBP & three TAFs specific for transcription. • These complex bound to the UCE in the presence of UBF and stimulates transcription fromcore promoter by recruiting Pol. I.

  • 21. • This enzyme is also related to Pol. II, and they initiate transcription from distinct promoters and transcribed distinct genes. • Pol. III promoters come in various forms and being located downstream of the transcription start site. • Some Pol III promoters consist of two regions, called Box A & Box B. • Same as Pol I & II, transcription by Pol III also requires transcription factors along with polymerase. • The factors are TFIIIB & TFIIIC. • Firstly TFIIIC binds to the promoter region. • After that the factor TFIIIB containing TBP is also binds to the template strand • This complex is formed which stimulates the initiation of transcription.
