Cis- acting regulatory elements
• Promoter region- Located immediately upstream of the transcription start site and serves as a binding site for the RNA -polymerase II complex.• Enhancer region- Promotes transcription by recruiting histone-modifying enzymes that open the chromatin structure, making the sequence more accessible—sometimes acts in trans.• Insulators- Sequences that have the ability to protect genes from inappropriate signals emanating from their surrounding genome.

Transcription factors: proteins that bind to promoters to affect transcription
• Transcriptional activators- Recruits the RNA polymerase complex to the transcription start site by binding to either sequences in the promoter or distant cis-acting elements to increase transcription.• Transcriptional repressor- Prevents transcription of a gene by interfering with RNA polymerase activity on a promoter

The central dogma revisited
•The order of the DNA template or coding strand is 3’ to 5’
•This determines the order of the mRNA strand (5’ to 3’) because DNA template is complementary to the mRNA strand.

Enhancers
• Their location is not fixed. Location could be in the upstream or downstream DNA, in intron, exon or in the untranslated region.
• They enhance transcription by acting on promoter in cis (typically)
• Each enhancer has its own binding protein. These proteins are trans-regulatory activating factors
• Sequence of enhancers is variable.
• Enhancers regulate tissue-specific and temporal expression of genes.

Some post-translational modifications
• Phosphorylation• Biotinylation• Glycosylation• Acetylation• Alkylation• Methylation• Glutamylation• Glycylation• Isoprenylation
• Lipoylation• Phosphopantetheinyl
ation• Sulfation• Selenation• C-terminal amidation

The central dogma revisited
•The order of the DNA template or coding strand is 3’ to 5’
•This determines the order of the mRNA strand (5’ to 3’) because DNA template is complementary to the mRNA strand.

Manipulating gene expression
• Can be done at several levels– Promoters, enhancers, transcription factors– Post-transcriptional– Translational – Methylation
• Biotechnology typically manipulates promoter
• Post-transcriptional gene silencing (RNAi) increasingly important
