Transcription Termination in Prokaryotes — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Oh in the series of videos we have been
- 0:04discussing about the transcription in
- 0:06prokaryotes and now in this video we'll
- 0:09be discussing about the termination of
- 0:11transcription in prokaryotes the
- 0:14termination of transcription in e.coli
- 0:16or in prokaryotes proceeds in two ways
- 0:18either it's row independent termination
- 0:21or it's row dependent termination row
- 0:23here is the protein that means in one
- 0:26case there is no involvement of pro
- 0:27protein well as in other case there is
- 0:30involvement of pro protein in row
- 0:32independent termination the physical
- 0:34modified structure of RNA transcript
- 0:36terminates the transcription whereas in
- 0:39case of row dependent termination the
- 0:41helices protein row protein terminates
- 0:43the transcription the second point we
- 0:47see here is that in row independent
- 0:49termination the hairpin loop like
- 0:51structure pulls off RNA transcript from
- 0:53there RNA polymerase complex thereby
- 0:57terminating the transcription as you can
- 0:59see in this diagram the hairpin loop
- 1:01like structure comes into action in row
- 1:03independent termination now looking at
- 1:07the Road appendant termination the
- 1:08helicase protein which is the hexameric
- 1:10protein has structure like this it binds
- 1:13to the right side on RNA transcript and
- 1:15gets to the polymerase enzyme where it
- 1:18terminates the transcription and this
- 1:20row protein is ATP dependent protein
- 1:24now let's discuss a row independent
- 1:26termination in detail first in this
- 1:28diagram we can see we have the DNA
- 1:30molecule having RNA polymerase attach it
- 1:33to it this RNA polymerase enzyme works
- 1:36on the lower strand that's the template
- 1:38strain and we had this RNA molecule
- 1:41being synthesized it here and here in
- 1:43this diagram we can see we had the
- 1:44termination site here having a poly ATP
- 1:48or editing and timing peers to see how
- 1:51he open loop homes we see in the next
- 1:54step the RNA molecule which is getting
- 1:56synthesized it has got couple of GC
- 1:58regions like GC g GC c g so what happens
- 2:04with these GC rich regions is that the
- 2:06GC bases peers with each other and form
- 2:09the hairpin loop like structure shown in
- 2:12the diagram
- 2:13actually this lupone's due to
- 2:15palindromic sequences on RNA transcript
- 2:19here in this diagram it is these two
- 2:21regions which come together and poms
- 2:23loop now this loop reduces the length of
- 2:26rna-dna hybrid so from this structure
- 2:29the RNA will get a physical traction but
- 2:32to pull out RNA molecule from the
- 2:33polymerase machinery it needs a weak
- 2:36link we should break easily and this is
- 2:40provided by a tear each reagent DNA
- 2:42white template strand having poly I'd
- 2:45mean and transcribes poly us all in the
- 2:48RNA chain so this region au base pair is
- 2:52the weak point where from the
- 2:54transcription is terminated easily when
- 2:56the hairpin loop like structure forms
- 2:58and in the end we get RNA molecule out
- 3:01of the polymerase complex easily as
- 3:03shown in the diagram so this is how ro
- 3:07independent termination works now let's
- 3:09see how ro dependent termination is
- 3:11drawn in this diagram we have DNA
- 3:14molecule having RNA polymerase attached
- 3:16a trait which has synthesized RNA
- 3:18molecule as shown in the diagram this
- 3:21nascent RNA molecule has one interesting
- 3:23site on it called the rut site ROH
- 3:27utilization site to this rut site the ro
- 3:31helices protein binds and starts moon
- 3:34towards the transcription machinery RNA
- 3:36polymerase as shown in the animation and
- 3:39it must be noted that this hill case
- 3:41uses energy from the ATP hydrolysis when
- 3:45this helices reaches the end of RNA
- 3:47molecule it encounters that DNA RNA
- 3:49duplex and this being the helicase
- 3:52enzyme unwinds the duplex easily and
- 3:55finally our net transcript is released
- 3:57from the complex this way ro dependent
- 4:01termination is driven in the e.coli so
- 4:04this is all about termination of
- 4:06transcription in prokaryotes I hope you
- 4:08liked the video if you liked it give it
- 4:09a thumbs up do consider supporting my
- 4:11work on patreon and also make sure
