Gene Regulation
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation
How Does A Cell Know?
Which Gene To Express
&
Which Gene Should Stay
Silent?
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation
• When a Gene is
Expressed:
– It Is Transcribed Into mRNA
• When a Gene is Silent:
– It Is Not Transcribed
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation
• Expression Regulated By
– Promoters
• RNA Polymerase Binding Sites
• Certain DNA Base Pair Sequences
– Start & Stop Base Pair Sequences
– Regulatory Sites
• DNA Binding Proteins
• Regulate Transcription

Prokaryote Gene Regulation:
lac Operon
• What is an Operon?
• Group of Genes That Operate Together
• For Example:
– E. coli ferments lactose
• To Do That It Needs Three Enzymes
(Proteins), It Makes Them All At Once!
– 3 Genes Turned On & Off Together. This is
known as the lac
Operon (lactose Operon)
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation: lac Operon
The lac Operon
–
–
Regulates Lactose Metabolism
It Turns On Only When Lactose Is Present &
Glucose is Absent.
Lactose is a Disaccharide
–
A Combination of Galactose & Glucose
To Ferment Lactose E. coli Must:
1. Transport Lactose Across Cell Membrane
2. Separate The Two Sugars
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation: lac Operon
Each Task Requires A Specific Protein
but
Proteins Not Needed If Glucose Present
(why waste energy if you already have food?)
so
Genes Coding For Proteins Expressed
Only When There Is No Glucose
Present But Lactose Is Present
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation: lac Operon
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation: lac Operon
ADD LACTOSE
= Lactose
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation: lac Operon
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Gene Regulation: lac Operon
Key Concept:
The lac Genes Are:
Turned Off By Repressors
And
Turned On By The Presence
Of Lactose
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
lac Gene Expression
• Operon Has 2
Regulatory
Regions
– Promoter (RNA
Polymerase
Binding)
– Operator (O
region) Bound To
A lac Repressor
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
lac Gene Expression
• lac Repressor
– When Bound To O
Region : Prevents
Binding of RNA
Polymerase To
Promoter
– Turns The Operon
“OFF”
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
lac Gene Expression
• lac Repressor Also Binds
To Lactose
– Higher Affinity For
Lactose
• When Lactose Present
lac Repressor Is
Released From O Region
– Allows Transcription
of All Three Genes
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Regulation Can Be:
1. Based On Repressors
2. Based On Enhancers
3. Regulated At Protein Synthesis
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Eukaryotic Gene Regulation
Operons Usually
NOT Found In Eukaryotes
Key Concept:
Most Eukaryotic Genes Are Controlled
Individually And Have Regulatory
Sequences That Are Much More
Complex Than Prokaryotic Gene
Regulation
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Eukaryotic Gene Regulation
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Eukaryotic Gene Regulation
• TATA Box
– About 30 Base Pairs Long
– Found Before Most Genes
– Positions RNA Polymerase
– Usually TATATA or TATAAA
– Promoters Usually Occur Just Before
The TATA Box
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Eukaryotic Promoters
Enhancer Sequences
– Series of Short DNA Sequences
– Many Types
Enormous Number Of Proteins Can Bind
To Enhancer Sequences
– Makes Eukaryote Enhancement Very
Complex
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Eukaryotic Promotors
• Some Enhance Transcription By
Opening Up Packed Chromatin
• Others Attract RNA Polymerase
• Some Block Access To Genes
• Key To Cell Specialization
– All Cells Have Same Chromosomes
– Some Liver, Skin, Muscle, etc.

• hox Genes
– Control Organ & Tissue Development
In The Embryo
– Mutations Lead To Major Changes
• Drosophila With Legs In Place of
Antennae

hox Genes Present In All Eukaryotes
– Shows Common Ancestry
– Pax 6 hox gene
• Controls eye growth in Drosophila, Mice
& Man
• Pax 6 from Mouse Placed In Knee

Developed Into Eye Tissue.
