  2. RNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase

    In most prokaryotes, a single RNA polymerase species transcribes all types of RNA. RNA polymerase "core" from E. coli consists of five subunits: two alpha (α) subunits of 36 kDa, a beta (β) subunit of 150 kDa, a beta prime subunit (β′) of 155 kDa, and a small omega (ω) subunit. A sigma (σ) factor binds to the core, forming the holoenzyme.

  3. RNA polymerase II holoenzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_II_holoenzyme

    RNA polymerase II holoenzyme is a form of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II that is recruited to the promoters of protein-coding genes in living cells. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It consists of RNA polymerase II , a subset of general transcription factors , and regulatory proteins known as SRB proteins [ clarification needed ] .

  4. RNA polymerase II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_II

    RNA polymerase II (RNAP II and Pol II) is a multiprotein complex that transcribes DNA into precursors of messenger RNA (mRNA) and most small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and microRNA. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is one of the three RNAP enzymes found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. [ 3 ]

  5. Bacterial transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_transcription

    RNA polymerase is composed of a core and a holoenzyme structure. The core enzymes contains the catalytic properties of RNA polymerase and is made up of ββ′α2ω subunits. This sequence is conserved across all bacterial species. The holoenzyme is composed of a specific component known as the sigma factor (σ-factor). The sigma factor ...

  6. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_(biology)

    RNA polymerase core enzyme binds to the bacterial general transcription (sigma) factor to form RNA polymerase holoenzyme and then binds to a promoter. [6] (RNA polymerase is called a holoenzyme when sigma subunit is attached to the core enzyme which is consist of 2 α subunits, 1 β subunit, 1 β' subunit only).

  7. Promoter (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_(genetics)

    A binding site for RNA polymerase RNA polymerase I: transcribes genes encoding 18S, 5.8S and 28S ribosomal RNAs; RNA polymerase II: transcribes genes encoding messenger RNA and certain small nuclear RNAs and microRNA; RNA polymerase III: transcribes genes encoding transfer RNA, 5s ribosomal RNAs and other small RNAs

  8. RNA polymerase I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase_I

    RNA polymerase 1 (also known as Pol I) is, in higher eukaryotes, the polymerase that only transcribes ribosomal RNA (but not 5S rRNA, which is synthesized by RNA polymerase III), a type of RNA that accounts for over 50% of the total RNA synthesized in a cell.

  9. Sigma factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_factor

    The core RNA polymerase (consisting of 2 alpha (α), 1 beta (β), 1 beta-prime (β'), and 1 omega (ω) subunits) binds a sigma factor to form a complex called the RNA polymerase holoenzyme. It was previously believed that the RNA polymerase holoenzyme initiates transcription, while the core RNA polymerase alone synthesizes RNA.
