Dilemma
• All the DNA in an organism’s cells is basically the same.
• We have many of the same genes as a fruit fly (abt 60%).
• What accounts for the differentiation in the cells?
![Page 3: Gene Expression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/568166b2550346895ddab320/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Which genes are expressed.

Regulation of Gene Expression
• Regulation can occur at many levels in the DNA RNA PROTEIN– Transcription– Post-Transcription– Translation– Final Folding and Refolding of Proteins

Overview
• Prokaryotes have operons• Eukaryotes
– Regulatory sequences– Selective transcription– Homeobox Genes (HOX)– Epigenome
![Page 6: Gene Expression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/568166b2550346895ddab320/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PROKARYOTE OPERON– Promotor- Where RNA polymerase attaches– Operator- switch that turns on or off. If
repressor attaches, it is “off”. Transcription is disabled.
– Gene– Examples:
• Lac Operon- If Lactose is present, repressor inactive, gene turned on.
• Trp Operon - If Tryptophan is present, repressor active, gene turned off.

Lac and Trp Operons
• No matter which type of operon, when the repressor is active, the gene is switched___.
• When lactose is present, the gene is switched _____
• When tryptophan is present, the gene is switched ______

Lac and Trp Operons
• No matter which type of operon, when the repressor is active, the gene is switched off.
• When lactose is present, the lac gene is switched on
• When tryptophan is present, the trp gene is switched off

EUKARYOTE REGULATORY SEQUENCES
• Proteins (transcription factors) can bind to enhancer sequences on gene. Depending upon cellular conditions, this may enable gene to turn on (promote) or off (repress). Eukaryotes have multiple switches.– Induction- If proteins from neighboring cells
are present, gene may turn on (ex: retina)– Hormones and other molecules may attach to
enhancer sequence to turn on genes.

EPIGENOME• Environmental effects can impact gene
expression.• Histone Acetylation- Adding acetyl group to
histone proteins makes DNA more accessibile, promoting transcription
• Methylation seems to prevent genes from loosening from histones, repressing transcription.– Twins can have different diseases, and their
gene expression becomes more divergent as they age.

HOMEOBOX GENES
• HOX genes (Homeotic genes)– Master control genes
• Segmented organisms have HOX genes associated with genes for body parts. For example, since the same genes form antenna and leg, the structure that forms depends upon its HOX master control gene.

Transcriptional control
• Name and epigenetic factor that in represses transcription
• Name an epigenetic factor that promotes transcription.
• The reason that the same gene can code for either an antenna or a leg is that this gene is controlled by ______
![Page 16: Gene Expression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/568166b2550346895ddab320/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SELECTIVE TRANSCRIPTION
• During transcription, intervening sequences of mRNA are removed (introns).
• Exons are spliced together. – Males and females have the same set of genes,
the fact that they are spliced differently accounts for the difference in gender.
– Splicing and DNA rearrangement account for millions of different antibodies from the same genes.

Post transcriptional ModificationRNAi
• Interference RNA- RNAi• Regulates gene expression at transcription
level, by attaching to complementary mRNA
• Often inhibits or silences. • Forms may be called microRNA, or siRNA• See Video RNAi on Teachers Domain
