2. Genomic Organization

8. Prokaryotic Gene Expression (Aside)

10. RNase Protection (aside)

11. Head – binds O Linker Core – binds lactose Quaternary helix

14. Activated Repressors Strong promoter/weak promoter Turn on expression Catabolite gene activator protein (CAP) and (cAMP receptor protein (CRP) –Binds promoter –Positive regulator

20. 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

21. 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

22. HMG – high mobility group proteins. Cause distortions in DNA

23. Histone post translational modifications: Methylation stabilizes, all other modifications tend to destabilize. More destabilized means more accessible

29. 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

31. STAT

32. HRE – hormone response elements

33. mRNA Stability polyA – deadenylases 5’ cap “decapping enzyme” microRNA

34. Antibodies

35. Apoptosis
