Control of Gene Expression Steps of gene expression Transcription – DNA is read to make a mRNA in the nucleus of our cells Translation – Reading the mRNA to make a protein in the cytoplasm Mainly controlled at the level of transcription Prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene organization Prokaryotic transcriptional regulatory regions (promoters and operators) lie close to the transcription start site Functionally related genes are frequently located near each other These “operons” are transcribed into a single mRNA with internal translation initiation sites Prokaryotic Gene Expression Expression mainly by controlling transcription Promoter Cistron1 Cistron2 CistronN Terminator Transcription RNA Polymerase mRNA 5’ 3’ 1 2 Translation C N N N Ribosome, tRNAs, Protein Factors C N C 1 2 Polypeptides 3 Operons A cluster of related genes often coding for enzymes in a metabolic pathway, which are under the control of a single promoter regulatory region Genes that work together are located together A promoter plus a set of adjacent genes whose gene products function together. They are controlled as a unit They usually contain 2 –6 genes (up to 20 genes) These genes are transcribed as a polycistronic transcript. It is relatively common in prokaryotes It is rare in eukaryotes Operon System Regulatory elements of transcription Structural genes : DNA that code for a specific polypeptide (protein) Promoter : DNA segment that recognizes RNA polymerase Operator : Element that serves as a binding site for an inhibitor protein (modulator) that controls transcription Repressor : Protein which binds to a specific DNA sequences to determine the transcription of a particular gene Regulatory gene : Gene encode for repressor protein Regulatory gene: Organization of operon Operons • The Tryptophan Operon (Repressible and attenuation) Repressor does not bind to operator unless it interacts with co repressor Biosynthetic pathways • The Lactose Operon (Induction and catabolite repression) Repressor is bound to operator unless molecule to be metabolized is present (inducer) Catabolic pathways A repressible operon Inducible Operon Lactose Operon • It codes for the enzymes responsible for lactose catabolism • Within the operon, there are three genes that code for proteins (structural protein) and an upstream control region including promoter and a regulatory site called the operator • Laying outside the operon is the repressor gene, which codes for a protein (lac repressor) that binds to the operator site and is responsible for the suppression of the operon by blocking the binding of RNA polymerase • Transcribed mRNA may contain information for more than one protein (a polycistronic mRNA) • The synthesis of these mRNA is regulated in accordance with the needs of the cells at any time thus enable the cell to adapt quickly to changing environmental conditions The lactose (lac) operon Pi I Q3 P Q1 Z Q2 Y • Contains several elements – – – – lacZ gene = β-galactosidase lacY gene = galactosidase permease lacA gene = thiogalactoside transacetylase lacI gene = lac repressor – – – – Pi = promoter for the lacI gene P = promoter for lac-operon Q1 = main operator Q2 and Q3 = secondary operator sites (pseudo-operators) A Regulation of the lac operon Pi I Q3 P Q1 Z Q2 LacZ lacI repressor Y LacY Inducer molecules→ Allolactose: - natural inducer, degradable IPTG (Isopropylthiogalactoside) - synthetic inducer, not metabolized A LacA The lac operon: model for gene expression Includes three protein synthesis coding region-sometimes called "genes" as well as region of chromosome that controls transcription of genes Genes for proteins involved in the catabolism or breakdown of lactose When lactose is absent, no transcription of gene since no need for these proteins When lactose is present, transcription of genes takes place so proteins are available to catalyze breakdown of lactose Eukaryotic gene Eukaryotic gene Expression 1.Transcripts begin and end beyond the coding region 2.The primary transcript is processed by: 5’ capping 3’ formation / polyA splicing 3.Mature transcripts are transported to the cytoplasm for translation Control of Gene Expression Regulation of gene expression Gene expression is regulated—not all genes are constantly active and having their protein produced The regulation or feedback on gene expression is how the cell’s metabolism is controlled. This regulation can happen in different ways: 1. Transcriptional control (in nucleus): e.g. chromatin density and transcription factors 2. Posttranscriptional control (nucleus) e.g. mRNA processing 3. Translational control (cytoplasm) e.g. Differential ability of mRNA to bind ribosomes 4. Posttranslational control (cytoplasm) e.g. changes to the protein to make it functional – 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 Enhancers Promoter DNA Activator proteins Transcription factors Other proteins RNA polymerase Bending of DNA Transcription Gene Transcription control • Transcription factors • Proximal activators • Distal control elements (enhancers) – DNA binding domain – Activation domains bind to other proteins – These are cell-specific – A few common structures, but found in different combinations in different cells Eukaryotic gene expression Gene regulation of the transcription Condition 2 1 Chr.
