Q

What happens after the DABPolF complex is formed?

A

TFIIB hooks RNA polymerase into place, TFIIF binds to DNA, helping it bind to a region from -34 to -17 and aiding in stabilization

Q

How is the DABPolFE complex formed?

A

TFIIE arrives, lays over top of RNA polymerase II to secure it to the other promoters.

17
Q

How is the DABPolFEH complex formed?

A

TFIIH attaches

18
Q

What happens after the complete DABPOLFEH complex is formed?

A

The mediator protein binds

19
Q

Describe the helicase activity of TFIIH.

A

TFIIH unwinds DNA using XPB and XPD subunits.
TFIIB holds the opened DNA in place as RNA polymerase II clamps on to DNA.
RNA polymerase II keeps the two strands separated.

20
Q

What makes up the eukaryotic Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC)

A

DNA + TFIID + TFIIA + TFIIB + RNA polymerase II + TFIIF + TFIIE + TFIIH + mediator complex

21
Q

What is the repeated amino acid sequence in the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain repeat?

A

YSPTSPS

22
Q

Describe the kinase activity of RNA polymerase II.

A

TFIIH phosphorylates the fifth Serine of the CTD.

23
Q

What does the phosphorylation events in the CTD of RNA polymerase two signal?

A

Ready to enter elongation phase.
