Question

Match the event with the transcription stage in which it occurs.
-TBP binds to DNA
A) initiation in eukaryotes
B) initiation in bacteria
C) elongation
D) termination

Accepted Answer

TBP (TATA-binding protein) binds to the TATA box in the promoter region of eukaryotic genes during initiation of transcription. In bacteria, there is no TATA box, and transcription initiation is done by RNA polymerase binding directly to the promoter region. Therefore, B) initiation in bacteria can be ruled out. Elongation and termination occur after initiation and are not related to TBP binding, thus C) elongation and D) termination can be ruled out.
