Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic promoters often contain a TATA box located approximately 25-35 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site (near -30 to -100) and a CAAT box that can be found further upstream (near -40 to -150). These elements are important for the binding of transcription factors and the initiation of transcription.
