Replication Transcription Synthesize DNA Copy whole genome Copy both strands Need primer 5′ → 3′ Multiple enzymes

• How are replication and transcription similar?

• How are they different?

Synthesize RNA Copy one gene Copy one strand No primer 5′ → 3′ Only RNA polymerase

Eukaryotic transcription 3 RNA polymerases:

RNA polymerase I – rRNA RNA polymerase II – mRNA RNA polymerase III – tRNA

RNA polymerase IIfrom yeast

Eukaryotic transcription RNAP II recognizes:

TFIID bound to TATA box (TATAAA) TFIIB bound to TFIID Transcription factors bound to enhancer sequences
