A transcription unit of $DNA$ is defined primarily by the three regions in the $DNA$:

($i$) A promoter

($ii$) The structural gene

($iii$) A terminator

The promoter is said to be located towards $5^{\prime}$-end (upstream) of the structural gene (the reference is made with respect to the polarity of coding strand)

The terminator is located towards $3^{\prime}$-end (downstream) of the coding strand.
