Study Notes
Gene Expression Regulation
- Prokaryotic genes are organized into operons, clusters of genes under the control of a single promoter
- Eukaryotes use multiple mechanisms to regulate gene expression, including chromatin structure, DNA methylation, specific transcription factors, alternative RNA splicing, mRNA degradation, and protein degradation
- Multicellular organisms exhibit differential gene expression, meaning different genes are active in different cell types. This is guided by maternal effect genes and environmental cues, leading to cell differentiation and pattern formation
- Defects in gene regulation can cause malformations and diseases like cancer
Learning Objectives
- Understanding how bacteria regulate gene expression in response to environmental changes
- Understanding how eukaryotes regulate gene expression to create different cell types
Regulation of a Metabolic Pathway
- Gene expression and enzyme activity regulation are involved in controlling metabolic pathways.
- Long-term control involves regulating gene expression.
- Short-term control involves regulating enzyme activity.
The Operon Model
- Discovered by Jacob and Monod (1961)
- A functioning unit of genomic DNA controlling a cluster of genes
- Genes are transcribed together into mRNA and translated together in the cytoplasm
- Genes in the operon are either expressed together or not at all.
- Multiple genes need to be co-transcribed to define an operon, including a regulatory gene, promoter, operator, and structural genes.
trp Operon (Repressible)
- DNA has regulatory gene (trpR)
- RNA polymerase binds to the promoter when tryptophan is absent, initiating the transcription of genes in the operon
- When tryptophan is present, it acts as a corepressor, activating the repressor protein, which binds to the operator and stops transcription
lac Operon (Inducible)
- DNA has the regulatory gene (laci)
- When lactose is absent, the repressor protein is active, preventing RNA polymerase from binding to the promoter. Therefore, the operon is OFF.
- When lactose is present (inducer), it binds to the repressor, inactivating it. RNA polymerase can now bind to the promoter causing transcription of the operon, and the operon is ON.
Gene Regulation in Eukaryotes
- Chromatin Structure: Histone modifications (acetylation and methylation) influence DNA accessibility, impacting gene expression.
- Acetylation usually makes DNA accessible.
- Methylation typically makes DNA inaccessible.
- DNA Methylation: Covalent attachment of methyl groups (CH3) to cytosine bases, typically at CpG dinucleotides. This often silences genes.
- Specific Transcription Factors: Proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences, promoting or inhibiting transcription.
- Alternative RNA Splicing: Different mRNA molecules can be generated from a single gene due to alternative splicing of exons.
- mRNA Degradation: The lifespan of mRNA impacts the level of protein expression.
- Protein Degradation: The breakdown of proteins through ubiquitin-proteasome pathway controls protein abundance.
Histone Modifications
- Chemical modifications (acetylation or methylation) of histone proteins alter chromatin structure and therefore affect gene expression.
DNA Methylation Details
- The covalent addition of methyl groups to DNA usually involves cytosine bases in CpG dinucleotides.
- Methylation commonly silences genes or represses gene expression.
Target Gene Expression
- Transcription Factors (TF) bind to the promoter region of the target gene, leading to gene expression.
Target Gene Silencing
- Methylated CpG regions in the target gene promoter area can prevent the binding of TFs, preventing gene expression.
3. Gene Transcription Control Elements
- Sections of non-coding DNA bound by transcription factors.
- Proximal control elements are close to the promoter region. Distal control elements are farther away and can be called enhancers or silencers.
- Binding of transcription factors to these elements can enhance or repress gene expression.
4. Alternative RNA Splicing
- Different mRNA molecules (and thus different proteins) can be generated from the same gene.
- This occurs through the excision of introns and the different combinations of exons that are joined together.
5. RNA Interference (RNAi)
- miRNA and siRNA are small, single-stranded RNA molecules that can bind to mRNA.
- Binding can lead to mRNA degradation or inhibition of translation.
6. Protein Degradation
- Ubiquitination marks proteins for degradation by the proteasome.
Differential Gene Expression
- Different genes are active in different cell types in multicellular organisms
- The presence of different sets of activators, leads to differential expression of genes in liver, lens cells, and other tissues.
Developmental Processes
- Cytoplasmic Determinants: Unequal distribution of cytoplasmic substances (RNA and proteins) in the egg can influence subsequent cell fates during development
- Cell Communication (Induction): One cell group can influence the development of another group of cells by contact with cell surface molecules, or the binding of the growth factors.
- Determination: Subtle molecular changes in a cell commits it to a specific fate, paving the way for the differentiation of tissues in multicellular organisms.
- Pattern Formation: Cytoplasmic determinants and inductive signals are involved in laying out the body plan of an organism during development
- Homeotic Genes: These genes govern the anatomical structures of organisms and mutations in them cause structural abnormalities.
