Group Wiki Assignment |
| The second written assignment is to develop
as a group a set of pages in the class Wiki site that explore
issues having to do with transcription and transcriptional
control in eukaryotes. |
| Topics: |
- Promoter
recognition:
What
is the structural basis of promoter recognition?
- Basal
factor kinases:
How does phosphorylation of the basal transcription
machinery regulate initiation and elongation?
- Histone
code:
In what ways does histone modification regulate transcription?
- Co-transcriptional
processing:
What mechanisms coordinate co-transcriptional processing
of mRNAs?
- RNA transport:
How are mRNAs targeted for transport out of the nucleus
and into the cytoplasm?
- RNA degradation:
What is the mechanism of degradation of normal mRNAs and
aberrant mRNAs?
- RNA editing:
How are RNAs modified post transcriptionally to change
their primary sequence?
|
| Each group Wiki site should explore the
assigned topic as fully as possible. The site should reference
a body of the primary research literature and discuss how our
current understanding of each process has been established. |
