Rho-dependent ATP ρfactor:protein, 275 kD . ρ factor can bind ‘C’ rich region in newly synthesized RNA. ρ factor has ATPase and RNA-DNA helicase activity---release RNA from RNA-DNA hybrid double chains. Rho-independent Stem-loop structure in RNA stops RNA pol from elongating. Stem-loop structure Poly A-U in RNA relase RNA from RNA-DNA. A-U §2. 2 Transcription of eukaryotes Differences of transcription between prokaryotes and eukaryotes ① RNA pol in eukaryotes:Ⅰ ,Ⅱ, Ⅲ ② RNA pol Ⅱis directed to promoter by other transcription factors. ③ There are more multiple cis-acting elements in upstream of starting site and more proteins involved in initiation. ④ Termination is coupled with modification. Initiation Transcription factor II(TFII): TFs which direct RNA pol II to promoter and help to initiate transcription.

It can alter amino acid sequence of protein coded which differs from that predicted by DNA sequence. • Differential RNA processing Structure of mature mRNA UTR: untranslated region Function of introns 1. Can be further processed after splicing to generate noncoding RNA molecules. 2. Alternative splicing is widely used to generate multiple proteins from a single gene. 3. Represent mobile genetic elements and may be regarded as examples of selfish DNA. Provide more possibilities for genome!
