TRANSCRIPTION TRANSLATION
Same two steps produce all proteins:Same two steps produce all proteins:
1) DNA is transcribed to form RNA1) DNA is transcribed to form RNA Occurs in the nucleusOccurs in the nucleus RNA moves into cytoplasmRNA moves into cytoplasm
2) RNA is translated to form polypeptide 2) RNA is translated to form polypeptide chains, which fold to form proteinschains, which fold to form proteins

PromoterPromoter

For transcription to occur, RNA For transcription to occur, RNA polymerase must first bind to a polymerase must first bind to a promoter (Initiation)promoter (Initiation)
InitiationInitiation
promoter region
RNA polymerase, the enzyme that catalyzes transcription
a RNA polymerase initiates transcription at a promoter region in DNA. It recognizes a base sequence located next to the promoter as a template. It will link the nucleotides adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil into a strand of RNA, in the order specified by DNA.

DNA template unwindingDNA template winding up
DNA template at selected transcription site
b All through transcription, the DNA double helix becomes unwound in front of the RNA polymerase. Short lengths of the newly forming RNA strand briefly wind up with its DNA template strand. New stretches of RNA unwind from the template (and the two DNA strands wind up again).

c What happened at the assembly site? RNA polymerase catalyzed the assembly of ribonucleotides, one after another, into an RNA strand, using exposed bases on the DNA as a template. Many other proteins assist this process.

Adding Nucleotides
d At the end of the gene region, the last stretch of the new transcript is unwound and released from the DNA template. Shown below is a model for a transcribed strand of RNA.
