Which of the following is a property or characteristic of eukaryotic promoters?
They contain the -10 and-35 consensus sequences where RNA polymerase holoenzyme, containing the sigma factor, bind to initiate transcription.
| They contain the -10 and -35 consensus sequences that are the site where general transcription factors bind to help RNA polymerase holoenzyme initiate transcription.
They contain a TATA box to which sigma factors bind to help RNA polymerase core enzyme initiate transcription.
O I.
They are usually located far away from the gene that is being transcribed.
IV.
OV.
A, They are bound by general transcription factors, which help RNA polymerase I, II, or III, bind to the promoter and initiate transcription.

- Which of the following statements is/are TRUE for the promoters? The Pribnow box and TATA box are found in the prokaryotes and eukaryotes, respectively.

In prokaryotes, the Pribnow box is located 25 bases before TSS.arrow_forwardShown below is an eukaryotic gene.

To generate the YFP, you know the pre-MRNA looks as follows: Unspliced YFP premature mRNA Сap 5' UTR Exon 1 Intron Exon 2 Intron Exon 3 3' UTR Poly-A tail If Exon 2 is also required for mRNA stability, what can be predicted from the possible spliced alternative isoforms formed? One of the isoforms will not have a poly-A tail O The alternative splicing of YFP pre-MRNA prevents 5'-capping The MRNA isoform without Exon 2 will be degraded faster than the other isoform Exon 2 will be added to isoform B later to correct the mistake in splicing The protein translated from one of the mRNA isoforms will possess an additional functional domainarrow_forward
