Control of Gene Expression Chapter 16 Genes and Development

Proteins can determine the DNA sequence by binding the major groove of DNA. Proteins

Proteins can determine the DNA sequence by binding the major groove of DNA. Proteins binding the minor groove cannot determine the exact sequence of bases.

RNA polymerase II DNA 3´ 5´ Primary RNA transcript 1. Initiation of transcription Most control of gene expression is achieved by regulating the frequency of transcription initiation. Cut intron 5´ cap Exons Introns 3´ poly-A tail Mature RNA transcipt 2. RNA splicing Gene expression can be controlled by altering the rate of splicing in eukaryotes. Alternative splicing can produce multiple m. RNAs from one gene.

Passage through the nuclear membrane Gene expression can be regulated by controlling access to or efficiency of transport channels. 4. Protein synthesis Many proteins take part in the translation process, and regulation of the availability of any of them alters the rate of gene expression by speeding or slowing protein synthesis.

P P Completed polypeptide chain 6. Posttranslational modification Phosphorylation or other chemical modifications can alter the activity of a protein after it is produced. RISC 5. RNA interference Gene expression is regulated by small RNAs. Protein complexes containing si. RNA and mi. RNA target specific m. RNAs for destruction or inhibit their translation. 23
