C483 Spring 2013
Replication
Transcription
Nonspecific binding
One-dimensional promoter search
Holoenzyme and promoter form closed complex
Open complex allows initiation
Sigma subunit released; promoter is
cleared and elongation starts
Eukaryotic Transcription
• Multiple RNA Polymerases—
compartmentalization
• General Transcription Factors
• Role of Chromatin
• mRNA processing
Operon
• Three genes for three proteins controlled by
single promoter region (operon)
Lac repressor (not
part of operon)
B-galactosidase
(hydrolyse
lactose)
Lactose
permease
Thiogalactoside
transacetylase
Translation

Major Enzymes
• You should be able to figure out what many
enzymes do by their names IF you know your
basic biochemistry
– Substrate structures
– Dehydrogenase, carboxylase, kinase, protease,
phosphorylase, phosphatase
Key Metabolites

acetyl CoA, ribulose, UDP-glucose, glycogen,
oxaloacetate, a-ketoglutarate
• Amino acids, nucleotides
