1 Control of Gene Expression
Chapter 16 Genes and Development

2 Proteins can determine the DNA sequence by binding the major groove of DNA.
Proteins binding the minor groove cannot determine the exact sequence of bases.

21 Primary RNA transcript Mature RNA transcipt
RNA polymerase II 1. Initiation of transcription Most control of gene expression is achieved by regulating the frequency of transcription initiation. Cut intron 2. RNA splicing Gene expression can be controlled by altering the rate of splicing in eukaryotes. Alternative splicing can produce multiple mRNAs from one gene. DNA 3´ poly-A tail 5´ cap Primary RNA transcript Exons Introns Mature RNA transcipt

22 3. Passage through the nuclear membrane Gene expression
Large subunit 3. Passage through the nuclear membrane Gene expression can be regulated by controlling access to or efficiency of transport channels. 3´ poly-A tail Nuclear pore mRNA 5´ cap Small subunit 4. Protein synthesis Many proteins take part in the translation process, and regulation of the availability of any of them alters the rate of gene expression by speeding or slowing protein synthesis.

23 Completed polypeptide chain 6. Posttranslational modification Phosphorylation or other chemical modifications can alter the activity of a protein after it is produced. 5. RNA interference Gene expression is regulated by small RNAs. Protein complexes containing siRNA and miRNA target specific mRNAs for destruction or inhibit their translation. P RISC P
