Differential Expression of Genes  Prokaryotes and eukaryotes precisely regulate gene expression in response to environmental conditions  In multicellular.
Gene regulation  Two types of genes: 1)Structural genes – encode specific proteins 2)Regulatory genes – control the level of activity of structural genes.

Our Researchers… Hal Alper Gregory Stephanopoulos http://web.mit.edu/cheme/people/faculty/steph.html http://www.engr.utexas.edu/che/directories/faculty/alper.cfm Both PhDs in Chemical Engineering and work in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT together. Specifically, their lab is the Bioinformatics and Metabolic Engineering Lab at MIT.

Major question in both papers: How do we know where to look when we want to optimize a specific pathway? Which pipes do we turn on and off?

Both papers turn to the selective forces of nature to get to the answer: Start by presenting nature with a huge number of mutants generated by nature, then see which of these mutants is doing what the want the best.

SPT15 – the TATA binding protein. TAF25 – a particular TATA-binding factor.

Lycopene paper Mutants generated by random transposon insertions: Perhaps the transposon enters in the middle of a gene, preventing expression. http://www.discoverygenomics.net/images/sbts_cut-paste.gif SEE RIGHT SIDE IF FIGURE 1b IN THIS PAPER.

In the lycopene paper, the best knockout genes for lycopene synthesis identified by this combinatorial method were then compared with genes computer modeling predicted as good knockout sites.

RATIONALE: If I alter the transcription machinery, I will change the expression levels of different genes on a large scale, rather than just working with a single gene predicted by a model.
