Transcriptional ControlEukaryotic Gene Structure
Eukaryotic Gene – section of DNA that codes for one or more
related polypeptides or RNA molecules along with the
promoter and regulatory sequences required for expression
Promoter – site in DNA where RNA polymerase binds to initiate
transcription; contains conserved sequences including TATA box

Regulatory Transcription
Factors (TFs)

TFs are activated in response
to signals received by the cell

3. Transcription factors are producedor activated in response to
intracellular signal.
2. Signal transduction results in
production of intracellular signal.
4. Transcription factors bind to regulatorysites in DNA, triggering expression of cell-
specific genes.

RNA Processing
Alternative Splicing of mRNAs
Due to alternative splicing,
the number of proteins
that an organism can
produce far exceeds thenumber of genes it has
Introns and exons may be
removed

mRNA Stability & Interference
Occurs in the cytoplasm
mRNA stability
Presence of 5’ cap and 3’ poly-A tail determine how long mRNA is
active (and therefore how many times it can be translated)
RNA interference (RNAi)/MicroRNAs
Involved in mRNA degradation

miRNA – microRNA
RISC - RNA-induced
silencing complex
Could we use these to
treat viral infections?

Translational Control
Regulatory proteins can add phosphate groups to
proteins in ribosome and slow translation
In response to temperature change
In response to infection

Post-Translational Control
Post-translational modifications – processing steps that
are required to make a protein functional; such as…
Protein folding – may require molecular chaperones
Addition of chemical groups (eukaryotes – in ER and Golgi)
Phosphorylation / dephosphorylation
Targeted destruction of proteins – Proteasome
Proteins tagged with ubiquitin

Control of Gene ExpressionProkaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Packaging of DNA
Eukaryotes – tightly packed chromatin; must be
decondensed to begin transcription; default is “off” Prokaryotes – less tightly packed; access to promoters;
default is “on”
Alternative splicing
Eukaryotes – yes
Prokaryotes – no

Control of Gene ExpressionProkaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Complexity
Eukaryotes – more complex; many regulatory proteins
involved Prokaryotes – less complex
Coordinated Expression (presence of operons)
Eukaryotes – no
Prokaryotes – yes
