1
Engineering magnetosomes to express novel proteins Which ones? Must be suitable for expressing in Magnetospyrillum! Can’t rely on glycosylation, disulphide bonds, lipidation, selective proteolysis, etc for function! Best bets are bacterial proteins Alternatives are eukaryotic proteins that don’t need any of the above Short peptides Tweaking p18 Linker Deleting or replacing GFP TRZN Oxalate decarboxylases Lactate dehydrogenase or other oxalate metab enzyme
2
DNA replication Proteins replicating both strands are in replisome Attached to membrane & feed DNA through it lagging strand loops out so make both strands in same direction

Eg Trp operator
28
Prok gene regulation 5 genes (trp operon) encode trp enzymes
29
Prok gene regulation Copy genes when no trp Repressor stops operon if [trp]
30
Prok gene regulation Repressor stops operon if [trp] trp allosterically regulates repressor can't bind operator until 2 trp bind
31
lac operon Some operons use combined “on” & “off” switches E.g. E. coli lac operon Encodes enzymes to use lactose lac Z = -galactosidase lac Y= lactose permease lac A = transacetylase
32
lac operon Make these enzymes only if: 1) - glucose
33

54
Transcription in Eukaryotes RNA polymerase I: 13 subunits (5 + 3 + 5 unique) acts exclusively in nucleolus to make 45S-rRNA precursor
55
Transcription in Eukaryotes Pol I: acts exclusively in nucleolus to make 45S-rRNA precursor accounts for 50% of total RNA synthesis

RNA polymerase I promoter is 5' to "coding sequence" 2 elements 1) essential core includes transcription start site UCE -100 core +1 coding sequence
59
RNA polymerase I promoter is 5' to "coding sequence" 2 elements 1) essential core includes transcription start site 2) UCE (Upstream Control Element) at ~ -100 stimulates transcription 10-100x UCE -100 core +1 coding sequence
60
Initiation of transcription by Pol I Order of events was determined by in vitro reconstitution 1) UBF (upstream binding factor) binds UCE and core element UBF is a transcription factor: DNA-binding proteins which recruit polymerases and tell them where to begin
61
I nitiation of transcription by Pol I 1) UBF binds UCE and core element 2) SL1 (selectivity factor 1) binds UBF (not DNA) SL1 is a coactivator proteins which bind transcription factors and stimulate transcription
