Repressor/operator interaction • When tryptophan is present, tryptophan binds to trpR gene product. • trpR protein binds to the trp operator and prevents transcription. • Is TRP operon neg or pos regulation? • What type of regulation controls repressors/inducers? Jacob and Monod • What is true for E.coli is also true for the elephant! GENETIC SWITCHES • A switch includes.. a) Binding protein b) Binding protein recognizes a strecth of DNA Significance? • Mutate the gene encoding the transcription factor or the DNA sequence to which it binds and gene expression can be altered! GENE INACTIVATION • 1. CHROMATIN structure – Heterochromatin (tight– gene off) vs Euchromatin (loose – gene on) • 2. Methylation – adding methyl group to inactivate genes on DNA • 3. small RNA affects chromatin structure / interferes with transcription (RNAi system) Methylation • Reinforces inactivation • Involved in Barr-Body (inactive X chromosome) TRANSCRIPTIONAL CONTROL • Signals (hormones) in eukaryotes • Environmental- heat shock proteins • Regulator proteins (Transcription factors) – bind to TATA (like prokaryotes) • UPEs (Upstream Promoter Elements) – increase efficiency of RNA pol. Example… • Glucocorticoids released by stress bind to steroid receptor (in liver) forms complex binds to DNA activates genes involved in gluconeogenesis Weakly transcribed Strongly transcribed • TRANSLATIONAL CONTROL • CAPPING – 7’ methyl guanosine added to 5’ role in initiation/ protection • Poly A tail protection, promotes transport out of Nucleus • Splicing – Introns removed Exons for code • Differential mRNA processing –Cells in each tissue produce own version of mRNA –For example, different forms of troponin, a protein that regulates muscle contraction, produced in different muscle tissue • POST TRANSLATIONAL • modification of polypeptide (ie reduction in size of proinsulin to insulin) • chemical modification – addition of phosphate (Kinases) removal of phosphate (Phosphatases) • Examine the insulin pathway as a form of gene regulation
