Problems with transcription in GO

Problems with transcription in GO
- Why does RNA pol II transcription factor activity NOT have any relationship to DNA binding?
- What exactly is “general” vs “nonspecific” vs “specific” transcription?
- Why does transcription factor activity NOT have any relationship to promoter binding?
- What is a transcription regulator activity in terms of function, rather than process?
Def: Plays a role in regulating transcription;may bind a promoter or enhancer DNA sequence or interact with a DNA-binding transcription factor.

Major goals for overhaul
- Define transcription factor activities in terms of HOW they act, e.g. promoter binding, RNA polymerase binding, etc.
- Remove terms from Molecular Function that are defined in terms of the process, rather than in terms of HOW they act

Bacterial (E. coli) Transcription:core RNAP vs holo RNAP
Ishihama. 2010. FEMS Microbiol Rev. 34(5):611-27 (PMID:20629756)

Bacterial (E. coli) Transcription:basal transcription
Promoter - binding site for holo RNAPBasal transcription - requires only holo RNAP
![Page 7: Trying to represent transcription The functions, the process, and the connections between the two](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f315503460f94c4c3f4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Bacterial (E. coli) Transcription:activated transcription
Ishihama. 2010. FEMS Microbiol Rev. 34(5):611-27 (PMID:20629756)
Activated transcription - requires a transcription factor in addition to holo RNAP
Transcription factor classes defined by which RNAP subunit contacted,as well as by whether or not DNA is contacted

Transcription in eukaryotes:somewhat more complex…
Multisubunit nuclear RNA polymerases•RNA polymerase I – large rRNA transcript (more in Trypanosomes)•RNA polymerase II – mRNAs, most snRNAs, many snoRNAs, more…•RNA polymerase III – 5S rRNA, tRNAs, snRNA U6 (usually), more…
•RNA polymerase IV (plants) – siRNAs•RNA polymerase V (plants) – noncoding transcripts at target loci
Mitochondrial RNA polymerase(s)•RNAP (phage T3/T7 like) – mito rRNAs, many mito tRNAs, a few proteins
Plastid (chloroplast) RNA polymerases•RNAP (bacterial-type x2) •RNAP (phage T3/T7 like)
•RNAP (in plants; bacterial-type)
