Bookmark or Share- Promoter - National Human Genome Research InstituteA promoter, as related to genomics, is a region of DNA upstream of a gene where relevant proteins (such as RNA polymerase and transcription factors) bind to initiate transcription of that gene. The resulting transcription produces an RNA molecule (such as mRNA).
- Promoter (genetics) - WikipediaIn genetics, a promoter is a sequence of DNA to which proteins bind to initiate transcription of a single RNA transcript from the DNA downstream of the promoter. The RNA transcript may encode a protein ( mRNA ), or can have a function in and of itself, such as tRNA or rRNA .
- Addgene: PromotersThere are three main portions that make up a promoter: core promoter, proximal promoter, and distal promoter. Below describes the specifics of these regions in eukaryotic cells. Core Promoter. The core promoter region is located most proximal to the start codon and contains the RNA polymerase binding site, TATA box, and transcription start site ...
- Eukaryotic core promoters and the functional basis of ... - NatureThis work introduces a functional assay to simultaneously measure enhancer and promoter activity of candidate fragments and shows that core-promoter motifs confer promoter functionality to...
- 16.4.1: The Promoter and the Transcription MachineryThe purpose of the promoter is to bind transcription factors that control the initiation of transcription. The promoter region can be short or quite long; the longer the promoter is, the more available space for proteins to bind.
