KEY CONCEPT Gene expression is carefully regulated in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

The Operon Hypothesis The Operon Hypothesis was developed by 2 researchers: Jacob and Monod It explains how genes are regulated in prokaryotes. They received a Nobel Prize for their work.

Prokaryotic cells turn genes on and off by controlling transcription. A promotor is a DNA segment that allows a gene to be transcribed. An operator is a part of DNA that turns a gene “on” or ”off.” An operon includes a promoter, an operator, and one or more structural genes that code for all the proteins needed to do a job. Operons are most common in prokaryotes. The lac operon was one of the first examples of gene regulation to be discovered. The lac operon has three genes that code for enzymes that break down lactose.

The lac operon acts like a switch. The lac operon is “off” when lactose is not present. Repressor blocks the operator, preventing transcription .

The lac operon is “on” when lactose is present. Lactose “grabs” the repressor, RNA polymerase attaches, and transcription begins.

Eukaryotes regulate gene expression at many points. Different sets of genes are expressed in different types of cells. Transcription is controlled by regulatory DNA sequences and protein transcription factors. Also controlled by looping and coiling of DNA

Transcription is controlled by regulatory DNA sequences and protein transcription factors. Most eukaryotes have a TATA box promoter. Enhancers and silencers speed up or slow down the rate of transcription. Each gene has a unique combination of regulatory sequences.

RNA processing is also an important part of gene regulation in eukaryotes. mRNA has exons (code for genes) and introns (do not code for any currently useful information) Introns are cut out and exons spliced together

mRNA processing includes three major steps. Introns are removed and exons are spliced together. A cap is added. A tail is added.
