Which of the following statements about promoters
of eukaryotic genes is not correct?
a. Complicated than prokaryotic promoters
b. Formed of TATA box and UPES.
c. Activated by multiple transcription factors.
d. The binding site of DNA polymerase

-
D, binding site of RNA polymerase

-
The correct answer is d. The binding site of DNA polymerase.

Eukaryotic promoters are extremely diverse and are difficult to characterize. They typically lie upstream of the gene and can have regulatory elements several kilobases away from the transcriptional start site. In eukaryotes, the transcriptional complex can cause the DNA to bend back on itself, which allows for placement of regulatory sequences far from the actual site of transcription. Many eukaryotic promoters, contain a TATA box (sequence TATAAA), which in turn binds a TATA binding protein which assists in the formation of the RNA polymerase transcriptional complex. The TATA box typically lies very close to the transcriptional start site (often within 50 bases).
