RNA synthesis:
The general mechanism of RNA synthesis through these eukaryotic RNA polymerases is the similar as for the prokaryotic enzyme that is:
- the initiation of RNA synthesis through RNA polymerase is directed through the presence of a promoter site on the 5' side of the transcriptional begin site;
- the RNA polymerase transcribes one strand, the antisense (-) strand of the DNA sample;
- RNA is synthesis that does not need a primer;
- the RNA synthesis occurs in the 5' → 3' direction with the RNA polymerase catalyzing a nucleophilic that attack through the 3' -OH of the growing RNA chain on the phosphorus atom on an incoming ribonucleoside 5 -triphosphate.
