In this article we will discuss about the mechanisms of regulation of transcrip­tion in higher eukaryotes. In E. coli, the RNA polymerase holoenzyme (with sigma factor) contains all the infor­mation needed to accurately initiate transcrip­tion given proper promoter signals (-35 recognition sequence plus -10 Pribnow box). However, RNA polymerase II of eukaryotes, which transcribes most […]
