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.
The regions of the DNA that signal initiation of transcription in prokaryotes are termed promoters. (We consider their role in gene regulation in Chapter 11.) Figure 10-8 shows the promoter sequences from 13 different transcription initiation points on the E. coli genome.
