Chapter 11 How Genes Are Controlled PowerPoint Lectures for Biology: Concepts & Connections, Sixth Edition Campbell, Reece, Taylor, Simon, and Dickey Lecture by Mary C. Colavito Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. CONTROL OF GENE EXPRESSION Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.1 Proteins interacting with DNA turn prokaryotic genes on or off in response to environmental changes Gene expression is the overall process of information flow from genes to proteins – Mainly controlled at the level of transcription – A gene that is “turned on” is being transcribed to produce mRNA that is translated to make its corresponding protein – Organisms respond to environmental changes by controlling gene expression Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.1 Proteins interacting with DNA turn prokaryotic genes on or off in response to environmental changes An operon is a group of genes under coordinated control in bacteria The lactose (lac) operon includes – Three adjacent genes for lactose-utilization enzymes – Promoter sequence where RNA polymerase binds – Operator sequence is where a repressor can bind and block RNA polymerase action Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.1 Proteins interacting with DNA turn prokaryotic genes on or off in response to environmental changes Regulation of the lac operon – Regulatory gene codes for a repressor protein – In the absence of lactose, the repressor binds to the operator and prevents RNA polymerase action – Lactose inactivates the repressor, so the operator is unblocked Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.1 Proteins interacting with DNA turn prokaryotic genes on or off in response to environmental changes Types of operon control – Inducible operon (lac operon) – Active repressor binds to the operator – Inducer (lactose) binds to and inactivates the repressor – Repressible operon (trp operon) – Repressor is initially inactive – Corepressor (tryptophan) binds to the repressor and makes it active – For many operons, activators enhance RNA polymerase binding to the promoter Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. An example of gene regulation – the Lac Operon Lac Operon Animation OPERON Regulatory Promoter Operator gene Lactose-utilization genes DNA mRNA Protein RNA polymerase cannot attach to promoter Active repressor Operon turned off (lactose absent) DNA mRNA RNA polymerase bound to promoter Protein Lactose Inactive repressor Operon turned on (lactose inactivates repressor) Enzymes for lactose utilization OPERON Regulatory Promoter Operator gene Lactose-utilization genes DNA mRNA Protein Active repressor Operon turned off (lactose absent) RNA polymerase cannot attach to promoter DNA mRNA RNA polymerase bound to promoter Protein Lactose Inactive repressor Enzymes for lactose utilization Operon turned on (lactose inactivates repressor) Promoter Operator Gene DNA Active repressor Active repressor Tryptophan Inactive repressor Inactive repressor Lactose lac operon trp operon 11.2 Differentiation results from the expression of different combinations of genes Differentiation involves cell specialization, in both structure and function Differentiation is controlled by turning specific sets of genes on or off This is how we get cells that have the same genetic information, but different structures and functions Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Muscle cell Pancreas cells Blood cells Metaphase chromosome Tight helical fiber (30-nm diameter) DNA double helix (2-nm diameter) Linker “Beads on a string” Nucleosome (10-nm diameter) Histones Supercoil (300-nm diameter) 700 nm 11.3 DNA packing in eukaryotic chromosomes helps regulate gene expression Eukaryotic chromosomes undergo multiple levels of folding and coiling, called DNA packing – Nucleosomes are formed when DNA is wrapped around histone proteins – “Beads on a string” appearance – Each bead includes DNA plus 8 histone molecules – String is the linker DNA that connects nucleosomes – Tight helical fiber is a coiling of the nucleosome string – Supercoil is a coiling of the tight helical fiber – Metaphase chromosome represents the highest level of packing DNA packing can prevent transcription Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.3 DNA packing in eukaryotic chromosomes helps regulate gene expression Animation: DNA Packing Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.4 In female mammals, one X chromosome is inactive in each somatic cell X-chromosome inactivation – In female mammals, one of the two X chromosomes is highly compacted and transcriptionally inactive – Random inactivation of either the maternal or paternal chromosome – Occurs early in embryonic development and all cellular descendants have the same inactivated chromosome – Inactivated X chromosome is called a Barr body – Tortoiseshell fur coloration is due to inactivation of X chromosomes in heterozygous female cats Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Early embryo Two cell populations in adult Cell division and random X chromosome inactivation X chromosomes Allele for orange fur Allele for black fur Active X Inactive X Orange fur Inactive X Active X Black fur 11.5 Complex assemblies of proteins control eukaryotic transcription Eukaryotic genes – Each gene has its own promoter and terminator – Are usually switched off and require activators to be turned on – Are controlled by interactions between numerous regulatory proteins and control sequences Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.5 Complex assemblies of proteins control eukaryotic transcription Regulatory proteins that bind to control sequences – Transcription factors promote RNA polymerase binding to the promoter – Activator proteins bind to DNA enhancers and interact with other transcription factors – Silencers are repressors that inhibit transcription Control sequences – Promoter – Enhancer – Related genes located on different chromosomes can be controlled by similar enhancer sequences Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.5 Complex assemblies of proteins control eukaryotic transcription Animation: Initiation of Transcription Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Enhancers Promoter Gene DNA Activator proteins Transcription factors Other proteins RNA polymerase Bending of DNA Transcription 11.6 Eukaryotic RNA may be spliced in more than one way Alternative RNA splicing – Production of different mRNAs from the same transcript – Results in production of more than one polypeptide from the same gene – Can involve removal of an exon with the introns on either side Animation: RNA Processing Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Exons 1 DNA RNA transcript 1 1 2 3 5 4 3 2 RNA splicing mRNA 4 3 2 5 or 5 1 2 4 5 11.8 Translation and later stages of gene expression are also subject to regulation Control of gene expression also occurs with – Breakdown of mRNA – Initiation of translation – Protein activation – Protein breakdown Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Folding of polypeptide and formation of S—S linkages Initial polypeptide (inactive) Cleavage Folded polypeptide (inactive) Active form of insulin 11.9 Review: Multiple mechanisms regulate gene expression in eukaryotes Many possible control points exist; a given gene may be subject to only a few of these – Chromosome changes (1) – DNA unpacking – Control of transcription (2) – Regulatory proteins and control sequences – Control of RNA processing – Addition of 5’ cap and 3’ poly-A tail (3) – Splicing (4) – Flow through nuclear envelope (5) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.9 Review: Multiple mechanisms regulate gene expression in eukaryotes Many possible control points exist; a given gene may be subject to only a few of these – Breakdown of mRNA (6) – Control of translation (7) – Control after translation – Cleavage/modification/activation of proteins (8) – Breakdown of protein (9) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.9 Review: Multiple mechanisms regulate gene expression in eukaryotes Applying Your Knowledge For each of the following, determine whether an increase or decrease in the amount of gene product is expected – The mRNA fails to receive a poly-A tail during processing in the nucleus – The mRNA becomes more stable and lasts twice as long in the cell cytoplasm – The region of the chromatin containing the gene becomes tightly compacted – An enzyme required to cleave and activate the protein product is missing Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.9 Review: Multiple mechanisms regulate gene expression in eukaryotes Animation: Protein Degradation Animation: Protein Processing Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
