Biochemical Network Enzymatic Reactions Michaelis-Menton-Kinetics Inhibation, Regulation k k 1 2 E S ES E P k1 E.coli as model system Genregulation allows adaption to changing environmental conditions, and regulation of metabolism E.coli has a single DNA molecule which is 4.6 106 basepairs long. It encodes 4226 proteins and a couple of RNA molecules. The information content of the genome is is bigger than the structural information of the encoded Proteins -> regulatory mechanisms are encoded Content of this lecture: Basics: Monod Model, Lac Operon Statistical Physics of DNA-binding Proteins Modelling of genregulatory Networks (ODE & Boolian Networks) Dynamics of Protein-DNA binding DNA looping Analysis of gene expression data Synthetic Networks Operon-Modell Francois Jacob und Jaques Monod, 1961 operon Operon: Genetic subunit, that consists of regulated genes with similar functionality. It includes - Promotor: Binding site for RNA polymerase - Operator: controls access of the RNA-Polymerase structural gene - Structural genes: Polypeptide encoding genes The Trp Operator as a switch: • Within the promotor lies a short DNA region as binding site for a repressor. A bound repressor prevents the Polymerase from binding. The OUTSIDE of proteins can be recognized by proteins Distinct basepairs can be recognized by their marginsDNA binding motivs Small channel Large channel Binding of Tryptophane to the Tryptophane-Repressorproteine changes the conformation of the repressor, Repressor can bind to the repressor binding site Identification of promotor sequences Transcription-Activation proteins switch on genes Gen-Regulation with Feedback: lac-Operon IPTG, TMG LacI Non-metabolizable inducer are used to induce gene expression IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside)This compound is used as a molecular mimic of allolactose, a lactose metabolite that triggers transcription of the lac operon. Unlike allolactose, the sulfur (S) atom creates a chemical bond which is non-hydrolyzable by the cell, preventing the cell from "eating up" or degrading the inductant. IPTG induces activity of betagalactosidase, an enzyme that promotes lactose utilization, by binding and inhibiting the lac repressor. In cloning experiments, the lacZ gene is replaced with the gene of interest and IPTG is then used to induce gene expression. A cis-regulatory element or cis-element is a region of DNA or RNA that regulates the expression of genes located on that same strand. This term is constructed from the Latin word cis, which means "on the same side as". These cis-regulatory elements are often binding sites of one or more trans-acting factors.
