Eukaryotic Gene Expression
Eukaryotes:
•
•
•
•
Have a nuclear envelope
Many are multicellular with specialized cells
All cells have full sets of chromosomes
Not all genes need to be turned on
(expressed)
Vocabulary:
Euchromatin – uncoiled DNA (chromatin)
found in eukaryotes
Intron – Not expressed!
-left over from evolutionary ancestors.
-May be turned on in related species
but not in us
Exon- genes that are expressed and code for
polypeptides
Vocabulary:
Enhancer – similar to regulator in prokaryotes,
can initiate gene expression
Transcription factor – assists in the placement
of RNA polymerase on the promoter
Promotor – DNA segment where RNA
polymerase attaches to begin transcription
Gene expression in eukaryotes:
1. RNA polymerase is on the promoter
2. Transcription factor attaches to the enhancer,
bending the DNA until it is next to the
promoter.
3. Transcription factors on each side of RNA
polymerase move it along the structural
gene.
4. DNA is transcribed (introns and exons are
both copied) forming pre-mRNA
5. Introns are removed by splicesomes and
exons are joined forming mRNA
6. Cap and Tail are attached, mRNA leaves
through the nuclear pore.
