11. Insertion Sequences & Transposable Elements (pgs. 351-352) Always a part of of chromosomal or plasmid DNA Sometimes called “jumping genes”-never detach Inverted sequences are on each side of an insertion sequences. (See pg. 352) A single gene for coded for:transposase Specialized plasmids are constructed using these sequences. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter20/animations.html

12. Jacob & Monod Discovered Lac Operon – Nobel Prize for Discovering Control of Gene Expression

13. Regulation of a Metabolic Pathway

14. Specialized Genes Operator = "on/off" switch for operon Regulator = makes repressors to turn off an entire operon Repressor = Binds to operator, turn off gene expression Inducer = Joins with an active repressor, activates it Co-repressor = Joins with inactive repressor, converts it to active

15. OPERON THEORY Operon = group of structural genes regulated as a unit Several genes controlled by an operator site

16. Operon Complex RNA Polymerase must bind to the promoter site and continue past the operator site to transcribe mRNA

17. Repressible Operons (trp operon) Usually “ON” - to turn OFF: –Co-repressor needs to bind to an inactive repressor and activate it –RNA Polymerase then cannot bind and transcribe mRNA Ex. trp operon is a repressible operon: -trancription is usually on -inhibited only by tryptophan (corepressor)

19. Trp Operon when Tryptophan is Absent http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter18/animations.html# http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter18/animations.html#

20. INDUCIBLE Operons (ex. lac operon) Usually “OFF” - to turn ON: –INDUCER needs to bind to an active repressor and inactivate it –RNA Polymerase can then bind and transcribe mRNA Ex. Lac operon is an inducible operon

21. Lac Operon Lactose ONLY used when glucose is not present in large quantities When glucose is present, cAMP levels are low, cAMP cannot bind to CAP and initiate enzyme production

22. Inactive Repressor-Lactose Present http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter18/animations.html http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter18/animations.html

23. Lac Operon In absence of glucose, cAMP levels are HIGH, binding to CAP can occur Beta-Galactosidase is made

24. Lac Operon RNA polymerase only binds efficiently when cAMP-CAP complex is in place Lac Operon = an INDUCIBLE Operon Lactose = an INDUCER –Binds to repressor and inactivates it

35. Chromatin Def: complex of DNA and proteins DNA Packing Histone proteins (+ charged amino acids w/ phosphates of DNA that are - charged) Nucleosome -”beads on a string”; basic unit of DNA packing Heterochromatin -highly condensed interphase DNA (can not be transcribed) Euchromatin -less compacted interphase DNA (can be transcribed)

37. Molecular Biology of Cancer pgs. 370-371 I. Proto-oncogene -----convert into Oncogenes -Controls cell growth(cell cycle & levels of cyclin) -Analogy: gas pedal is stuck in the down position ***Possible Causes: -movement of DNA &/or chromosome fragments -amplification; increases the number of copies of proto-oncogene -point mutation; protein product is altered II. Tumor-suppressor genes -Considered the “Guardian Angel gene” -Example (p53 gene) -Analogy: Break pedal is stuck in the up position
