If you've read through the articles up to this point, by now you should have a basic understanding of what a limited partnership is, what it does, and a handful of its pros and cons. To expand upon what you've learned, in this article I've compiled a list of six major benefits of forming a limited partnership.
The first step in transcription is initiation, when the RNA pol binds to the DNA upstream (5â²) of the gene at a specialized sequence called a promoter (Figure 2a). In bacteria, promoters are usually composed of three sequence elements, whereas in eukaryotes, there are as many as seven elements.
Some transcription factors bind to a DNA promoter sequence near the transcription start site and help form the transcription initiation complex. Other transcription factors bind to regulatory sequences, such as enhancer sequences, and can either stimulate or repress transcription of the related gene. These regulatory sequences can be thousands of base pairs upstream or downstream from the gene being transcribed.
