RNA polymerase II (Pol II) core promoters are specialized DNA sequences at transcription start sites of protein-coding and non-coding genes that support the assembly of the transcription machinery and transcription initiation. They enable the highly regulated transcription of genes by selectively receiving and integrating regulatory cues from distal enhancers and associated regulatory proteins. In this Review we discuss the defining properties of gene core promoters, including their sequence features, chromatin architecture, and transcription initiation patterns. We provide an overview of molecular mechanisms underlying the function and regulation of core promoters and their emerging functional diversity, which defines distinct transcription programmes. Based on the established properties of gene core promoters, we discuss transcription start sites within enhancers and integrate recent results obtained from dedicated functional assays to propose a functional model of transcription initiation. This model can explain the nature and function of transcription initiation at gene starts and at enhancers and the different functional roles of core promoters, of RNA polymerase II and its associated factors and of the activating cues provided by enhancers and the transcription factors and cofactors they recruit.
