Question
How does RNA polymerase know where to begin transcription? How does it know where to end?
Solution
VerifiedRNA polymerase begins transcription at initiation sites called promoters. In particular, a protein called a sigma factor helps identify the initiation site and enables RNA polymerase to bind to the corresponding promoter. RNA polymerase suspends transcription when it arrives at a specific base sequence called a transcription terminator.
