Study Notes
Transcription in Bacteria
- A strain of bacteria with a nonfunctional sigma factor would affect the assembly of RNA polymerase onto the DNA strand.
Lactose Operon
- Adenylate cyclase is not required for the expression of genes in the lactose operon.
RNA Polymerase in Bacteria
- Bacteria possess only one type of RNA polymerase.
CAP (Catabolite Gene Activator Protein)
- CAP is a catabolite gene activator protein.
Sigma Factors
- Four types of sigma factors are known, and σ32 is highly heat stable.
Enhancers
- Enhancers do not work as both cis and trans-acting sequences.
Gene Imprinting
- Gene imprinting involves DNA methylation.
Methylation in Oligonucleotides
- Methylation is possible within the oligonucleotides at the bases AGGTTC.
Xist Gene
- The functional product of the Xist gene is lncRNA (long non-coding RNA).
