Detailed explanation-1: -Genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II have two core promoter elements, the TATA box and the Inr sequence, that serve as specific binding sites for general transcription factors. Other cis-acting sequences serve as binding sites for a wide variety of regulatory factors that control the expression of individual genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The purpose of the promoter is to bind transcription factors that control the initiation of transcription. Within the core promoter region, 25 to 35 bases upstream of the transcriptional start site, resides the TATA box.
Detailed explanation-3: -RNA polymerase and the necessary transcription factors bind to the promoter sequence and initiate transcription. Promoter sequences define the direction of transcription and indicate which DNA strand will be transcribed; this strand is known as the sense strand.
Detailed explanation-4: -RNA polymerase binds to a promoter with help from a set of proteins called general transcription factors.
Detailed explanation-5: -A 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).
