Gene Regulation: An Example


E. coli provides an example of how gene

expression can be regulated.

An operon is a group of genes that operate

together.

In E. coli, these genes must be turned on so the

bacterium can use lactose as food.

Therefore, they are called the lac operon.

How are lac genes turned off and on?

End Show


Slide

5 of 26



The lac genes are turned off by repressors and turned on by the presence of lactose.

End Show


Slide

6 of 26



On one side of the operon's three genes are two regulatory regions.

• In the promoter (P) region, RNA polymerase binds and then begins transcription.

End Show


Slide

• The other region is the operator (O).

End Show


Slide

8 of 26



When the lac repressor binds to the O region, transcription is not possible.

End Show


Slide

9 of 26



When lactose is added, sugar binds to the repressor

proteins.

End Show


Slide

10 of 26



The repressor protein changes shape and falls off the

operator and transcription is made possible.

End Show


Slide

11 of 26



Many genes are regulated by repressor proteins.

Some genes use proteins that speed transcription.

Sometimes regulation occurs at the level of protein

synthesis.

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

How are most eukaryotic genes

controlled?

End Show


Slide

13 of 26




Operons are generally not found in

eukaryotes.

Most eukaryotic genes are controlled

individually and have regulatory

sequences that are much more complex

than those of the lac operon.

End Show

Many eukaryotic genes have a sequence called the

TATA box.

the TATA box, and consist of short DNA sequences.

Genes are regulated in a variety of ways by enhancer

sequences.

Many proteins can bind to different enhancer

sequences.

Some DNA-binding proteins enhance transcription

by:

• opening up tightly packed chromatin • helping to attract RNA polymerase • blocking access to genes.

Development and Differentiation


As cells grow and divide, they undergo

differentiation, meaning they become specialized

in structure and function.

Hox genes control the differentiation of cells and

tissues in the embryo.

End Show


Slide

19 of 26



Careful control of expression in hox genes is

essential for normal development.

All hox genes are descended from the genes of

common ancestors.
