Eukaryotic Gene Regulation AP BIOLOGY CHAPTER 19
Prokaryotic Natural History Genetic Material DNA Chromosome: plasmid Order Unicellular Replication Binary Fission Regulation Expression Trp operon Lac operon
Eukaryotic Natural History Genetic Material DNA Chromosomes (linear/longer) Order Multicellular (220 different kinds of cells) Replication Mitosis (Ensures one set of DNA per cell) Regulation How does each cell “know” what to become
Eukaryotic Genome DNA (genotype) RNA protein (phenotype) 23 pairs of chromosomes/cell ~3, 000, 000 nitrogen bases/cell
Eukaryotic Gene Expression Our cells regulate every step of gene expression to ensure appropriate proteins are made in appropriate cells
Regulating Chromatin Histone Acetylation:
Regulating Chromatin Methylation: silences genes by adding methyl groups to Cytosine
Regulating Chromatin Epigenetic inheritance: A series of proteins and other markers that attach to DNA and regulate its transcription
Regulating Transcription Where RNA polymerase begins transcription
Regulating Transcription Factors Proteins that help RNA polymerase start transcribing DNA Activators Bending proteins General transcription factors Mediator proteins
Distal control element Activators Promoter Gene DNA TATA box Enhancer General transcription factors DNA-bending protein Group of mediator proteins RNA polymerase II Transcription Initiation complex RNA synthesis
