Match the following terms. Pribnow Box Silencer TBP/TFIID sigma factor rho factor TATA box CAAT box enhancer A -10 consensus sequence in bacterial promoters B. DNA sequence that helps repress gene transcription C. prokaryotic transcriptional initiation factor D. eukaryotic core promoter element E. maximizes transcription of eukaryotic genes F. prokaryotic transcriptional termination factor G. protein complex that binds the TATA box H. eukaryotic regulatory promoter element

Solution

1. Pribnow box: Eukaryotic core promoter element

2. Silencer: DNA sequence that helps repress gene transcription.

3. TBP/TFIID: the protein complex that binds the TATA box.

4. Sigma Factor: prokaryotic transcriptional inititation factor.

5. rho factor: Prokaryotic transcriptional termination factor.

6. TATA box: Eukaryotic regulatory promoter element.

7. CAAT box: 10 consensus sequence in bacterial promoters

8. Enhancer: maximizes transcription of eukaryotic genes
