(B) Some transcriptional activators can be sumoylated, which marks them for destruction by proteasome. (C) Enhancers are DNA-binding proteins that can induce strong bending in DNA. (D) Each homeodomain protein contains three alpha-helices in which the third serves as the DNA-recognition helice. (E) Glutamine-rich domains are found to be important for DNA binding in several eukaryotic transcription factors.

(A) For eukaryotic RNA polymerase II-dependent promoters (class II promoter), the TATA box is recognized by the general transcription factor TFIIB. (B) Some class II promoters contain a downstream promoter element (DPE), which is located around the transcription start site. (C) As an eukaryotic RNA polymerase III-dependent promoter (class III promoter), the 5S rRNA promoter is located within the gene itself (i.e. an internal promoter). (D) For human rRNA promoter, it contains two important regions and the spacing between these two elements is not important for promoter strength. (E) The U6 snRNA is made by RNA polymerase II and its gene promoter contains a TFIIB .recognition element.

複選題9. Crystal structures of the transcription elongation complex involving RNA polymerase II reveal a clamp, three loops of the clamp (called the lid, rudder and zipper), and a bridge helix. (A) The function of the lid is to initiate dissociation of the RNA-DNA hybrid. (B) The zipper appears to play a role to maintain the dissociation of the template DNA. (C) The bridge helix appears to play a role to maintain the dissociation of the RNA-DNA hybrid. (D) The rudder is speculated to play a role in translocation during transcription. (E) Alpha-amanitin is bound to a site near the bridge helix appears to enhance translocation during transcription.

10. Please choose one correct answer for the roles of different general transcription factors in eukaryotic RNA polymerase I, II and III.

(D) The human core-binding factor SL1 is fundamental transcription factor to recruit RNA polymerase I. (E) TFIIB not only stabilizes TBP and TATA box binding, but also use an antirepression mechanism to stimulate TFIID and promoter binding.
