上泽充通大学 Shanghai Jiao Tong University Transcription:Discuss the following questions 1.Why do we need a messenger RNA? 2.RNA polymerase:Any direction?Why? 3.RNA polymerase:Need a primer? 4.Initiation of RNA synthesis:How to find the right place? Where is the right place?Which DNA strand is the right strand for transcription? 5.Termination of RNA synthesis:where is the right place for termination? 6.Transcription:write down the relative position of promoter position,terminator,start codon,stop codon for a polycistronic mRNA No. 2 Chen Feng.Shanghai Jiao Tong University

上泽充通大￥ Shanghai Jiao Tong University IV mRNA Transcription Why do we need a messenger RNA? ·The genetic information needs to be read“one sentence at a time",just like we speak in sentences.Genes are“sentences”in genetic information Protein synthesis takes place away from where chromosome exists No.3 Chen Feng.Shanghai Jiao Tong University
No. 3 Chen Feng, Shanghai Jiao Tong University IV. mRNA Transcription Why do we need a messenger RNA? • The genetic information needs to be read “one sentence at a time”, just like we speak in sentences. Genes are “sentences” in genetic information • Protein synthesis takes place away from where chromosome exists
