The transcriptional processes in eukaryotes are different from prokaryotes. The differences in Eukaryotic gene expression ultimatly emphasizes different sources of stochasticty as singinicant sources of noise. The need for Eukaryotic genetic information to transition between open and closed chromatin structures makes the turnover time from and induced to a repressed promoter very slow (Eisen, 2004). Collins et. al. demonstrated that transcriptional efficiency has a larger effect on noise strength than translational efficiency in eukaryotes (Collins et. al., 2003). These data demonstrate that the dominant sources of stochasticity in the gene expression process of prokayotes and eukaryotes are opposite each other. Transcriptional bursting (the finite number effect) is negligible in prokayotes but is also the dominant source of stochasticity in eukaryotes. Translational bursting is negligible in eukaryotes but is the dominant sources of stochasticity in prokaryotes.
Other Factors in Eukaryotic Backgrounds
- Transcriptional initiation involves TATA box binding protein
- Initiated mRNA forms a stable complex
In addition to chromatin remodeling
