A promoter is a sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA that signals the enzyme complex "DNA-polymerase" to begin unwinding the gene to transcribe it. A promoter is usually referred to as a "TATA (thymine, adenine, thymine, adenine) box" or a "CAAT (cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine) box". As DNA polymerase makes its way down a section of DNA and comes across TATA box, or a CAAT box, that is the signal to begin transcription.

∙ 13y agoA promoter is a region of DNA that allows the recruitment of RNA Pol and other molecules (transcription factors etc), leading to transcription of the sequence and its subsequent translation into a protein.

∙ 9y agoWe call the initiator a start codon. It is the first codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript translated by a ribosome. The start codon always codes for methionine in eukaryotes.
This the beginning of the process that produces a protein.

What is the region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins called?
The region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins is the promoter. DNA contains a number of upstream regulatory and promoter sequences but the region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins is the start codon. This is the first codon that translates into an RNA nucleotide.
Where does transcription take place in DNA?
DNA transcription occurs in the nucleus. It begins at a site known as the promoter, and continues along the DNA template strand that is being transcribed. answer: Nucleus. But to be more exact, promoter.
What is the sequence of nucleotides on DNa to with ran polymerase will attach to start transcription?
A promoter is a segment of DNA that helps RNA polymerase recognize the start of a gene.
Region of DNA that indicates to an enzyme where to bind to make rna?
Promoter
What are enhancers in eukaryotes?
Sections of DNA which, when bound by particular proteins, increase transcription from a particular promoter. They can sometimes be many kilobases from the promoter in question.
A mutation in this section of DNA could influence the binding of RNA polymerase to the DNA?
promoter The promoter is the region of DNA to which RNA polymerase binds to in order to initiate transcription.
What is the region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins called?
The region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins is the promoter. DNA contains a number of upstream regulatory and promoter sequences but the region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins is the start codon. This is the first codon that translates into an RNA nucleotide.
What process begins at the promoter of DNA?
The promoter is the sight at which the transcription machinery binds the DNA and initiates the transcription of the gene.
What is a DNA promoters?
A Promoter is a region of DNA that facilitates the transcription of a particular gene.
What characterises a cancer promoter?
A cancer promoter causes cells with DNA mutations to multiply and become tumors.
What is the region of DNA to which RNA polymerase bind?
promoter
What a enzyme?
Its involved in promoter specifictiy in DNA transcription
Where does transcription take place in DNA?
DNA transcription occurs in the nucleus. It begins at a site known as the promoter, and continues along the DNA template strand that is being transcribed. answer: Nucleus. But to be more exact, promoter.
Transcription starts at a region of DNA called a?
According to biologists, transcription starts at a region of DNA called a promoter. Promoters bind with RNA molecules to initiate transcription.
Is DNA junk or not junk?
AnswerThere is junk DNA or non-coding DNA. This DNA is the segment before the promoter of a different gene.
What is a halo-enzyme?
Its involved in promoter specifictiy in DNA transcription
What is the sequence of nucleotides on DNa to with ran polymerase will attach to start transcription?
A promoter is a segment of DNA that helps RNA polymerase recognize the start of a gene.
