Genomic Organization
Prokaryotic Gene Expression (Aside)
RNase Protection (aside)
Head – binds O Linker Core – binds lactose Quaternary helix
Activated Repressors Strong promoter/weak promoter Turn on expression Catabolite gene activator protein (CAP) and (cAMP receptor protein (CRP) –Binds promoter –Positive regulator
Eukaryotic Gene Expression Heterochromatin – highly condensed DNA Euchromatin – Transcriptionally active DNA Nucleosome – DNA with octamer of histones Chromatin remodeling complexes move Histones in an ATP dependent process
RSC SWI/SNF – mating type switching and growth on sucrose (proteins necessary for these processes. RSC – remodeling of structure of chromatin Most likely works by untwisting DNA
HMG – high mobility group proteins. Cause distortions in DNA
Histone post translational modifications: Methylation stabilizes, all other modifications tend to destabilize. More destabilized means more accessible
Epigenetic changes – not bound by Mendelian inheritance Embryonic development changes DNA methylation (except in germline cells C T mutation from methylation) Trouble cloning animals Imprinting – due to differential methylation between paternal and maternal DNA
STAT
HRE – hormone response elements
mRNA Stability polyA – deadenylases 5’ cap “decapping enzyme” microRNA
Antibodies
Apoptosis
