  2. Promoter (genetics) - Wikipedia

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

    A wide variety of algorithms have been developed to facilitate detection of promoters in genomic sequence, and promoter prediction is a common element of many gene prediction methods. Many such tools have been developed. [49] A bacterial promoter region is located before the -35 and -10 Consensus sequences.

  3. Initiator element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiator_element

    This is because a gene with an active Inr is less dependent on a functional TATA box or additional promoters. [8] Although Inr element varies between promoters, the sequence is highly conserved between humans and yeast. [8] An analysis of 7670 transcription start sites showed that roughly 40% had an exact match to the BBCA+1BW Inr sequence.

  4. TATA box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TATA_box

    The degree of DNA bending is species and sequence dependent. For example, one study used the adenovirus TATA promoter sequence (5'-CGCTATAAAAGGGC-3') as a model binding sequence and found that human TBP binding to the TATA box induced a 97° bend toward the major groove while the yeast TBP protein only induced an 82° bend. [21]

  5. Bacterial transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_transcription

    The promoter region is a prime regulator of transcription. Promoter regions regulate transcription of all genes within bacteria. As a result of their involvement, the sequence of base pairs within the promoter region is significant; the more similar the promoter region is to the consensus sequence, the tighter RNA polymerase will be able to bind.

  6. Pribnow box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pribnow_box

    It is also commonly called the -10 sequence or element, because it is centered roughly ten base pairs upstream from the site of initiation of transcription. The Pribnow box has a function similar to the TATA box that occurs in promoters in eukaryotes and archaea : it is recognized and bound by a subunit of RNA polymerase during initiation of ...

  7. Regulatory sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_sequence

    An active enhancer regulatory sequence of DNA is enabled to interact with the promoter DNA regulatory sequence of its target gene by formation of a chromosome loop. This can initiate messenger RNA (mRNA) synthesis by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) bound to the promoter at the transcription start site of the gene. The loop is stabilized by one ...

  9. Promoter activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_activity

    Methods to study promoter activity commonly are based in the expression of a reporter gene from the promoter of the gene of interest. [16] [2] [17] Mutations and deletions are made in a promoter region, and their changes on couple expression of the reporter gene are measured. [18] The most important reporter genes are the fluorescence proteins ...
