Initiation of transcription by Pol I 1) UBF binds UCE and core element 2) SL1 (selectivity factor 1) binds UBF (not DNA) 3) complex recruits Pol I 4) Pol I transcribes until it hits a termination site
Initiation of Pol III transcription 1) TFIIIA binds C box 2) recruits TFIIIC 3) TFIIIB binds 4) Complex recruits Pol III 5) Pol III goes until hits > 4 T's
Initiation of transcription by Pol III 1) TFIIIC binds box B 2) recruits TFIIIB 3) complex recruits Pol III 4) Pol III runs until hits > 4 Ts
Initiation of transcription by Pol II Basal transcription 1) TFIID binds TATAA box 2) TFIIA and TFIIB bind to TFIID/DNA 3) Complex recruits Pol II 4) Still must recruit TFIIE & TFIIH to form initiation complex
Initiation of transcription by Pol II Basal transcription 1) Once assemble initiation complex must start Pol II 2) TFIIH kinases CTD
Initiation of transcription by Pol II Basal transcription 1) Once assemble initiation complex must start Pol II 2) TFIIH kinases CTD negative charge gets it started 3) Exchange initiation for elongation factors
Initiation of transcription by Pol II Basal transcription 1) Once assemble initiation complex must start Pol II 2) Kinase CTD negative charge gets it started 3) Exchange initiation for elongation factors 4) Continues until hits terminator
Initiation of transcription by Pol II Basal transcription 1) Once assemble initiation complex must start Pol II 2) Kinase CTD negative charge gets it started 3) RNA pol II is paused on many promoters!
