Step 1
Step 1: In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase does not have a sigma subunit like in prokaryotes, so it cannot directly bind to the promoter region. Show more…

Question 12: In eukaryotes, which RNA polymerase transcribes all the structural (i.e. protein-coding) genes? What other proteins are needed to help this polymerase find the promoter region, and how do they work in general? (Specific details about each individual protein are not necessary.)

Which enzyme adds RNA nucleotides to the mRNA molecule? Exonuclease Terminase DNA polymerase Helicase RNA polymerase

The RNA polymerase holoenzyme that binds tightly and specifically to the promoter during initiation of transcription in prokaryotic cells such as E. coli contains two α-subunits and two β-subunits, plus the σ factor.
