Overall process of transcription and translation
![Page 4: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Gene Expression
An individual’s trillions of body cells all come from one cell (zygote).
In differentiation the cells become different tissues (skin, muscle, organ)
Certain cells will “turn on” or activate only the genes they need. This is called gene expression.
![Page 5: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Factors that Affect Gene Expression
The internal and external environment of a cell can influence which genes are “turned on”.
Ex: - Hormones can “tell” a cell to activate a specific gene.
- Outside temperature changes fur color in rabbits.

Regulation of bacterial expression
Most microbial metabolic reactions require enzymes
• Some enzymes are needed in large amount throughout the bacterial life as a living demand i.e pyruvate dehydrogenase in glycolysis
• In other cases, the enzyme were only needed in certain amount. This is when the operon system comes into play

Gene Expression Mechanism

Gene Regulation
• How can genes be turned off and on?• Examples from E. coli
– Inducer – example is lactose (lac operon), pg 187 of (Black, J., 2005)
– Repressor – argenine (arg operon), pg 187-188 of (Black, J., 2005)
![Page 9: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Terminologies
• Promoter – region of DNA where RNA polymerase initiate transcription
• Operator – acts as the traffic light that instructs the structural genes which are going to be transcribed
• Operon – consists of operator, promoter and three structural genes
![Page 10: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The operon model of expression
• Describes the regulation of protein expression• Genes that determine the surface of protein is
known as structural genes• In lac operon, there are 2 short DNA segment
known as promoter and operator
![Page 11: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lac Operon of E. coli
![Page 12: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lac Operon
![Page 13: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Induction on Gene Expression
• Turns on the transcription of a gene• The substance involve is known as inducer• The enzymes which are synthesized in the
presence of inducers are termed inducible enzymes
• Eg. The enzyme β-galactosidase that splits lactose into glucose and galactose for E. coli.

Induction - Lac operon
![Page 15: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Repression of Gene Expression
• Inhibits gene expression and decreases enzyme synthesis
• Prevent overabundance of and end product of a metabolic pathway
• The protein used to decrease the rate of production is known as repressor
• It has the ability to block transcription of an operon/RNA polymerase
![Page 16: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Repression - Trp operon
![Page 17: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Regulatory proteins have two binding sites
One for a small effector molecule
The other for DNA
![Page 18: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Therefore no allolactose
Constitutive expression
RNA pol cannot access the promoter
The lac operon is now repressed
![Page 20: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The conformation of the repressor is now
altered
Some gets converted to allolactose
Repressor can no longer bind to operator
Translation
The lac operon is now induced
![Page 21: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The cycle of lac operon induction and repression
Repressor does not completely inhibit transcription
So very small amounts of the enzymes are made
![Page 22: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Example of positive control
• When cAMP binds to CAP, complex binds to CAP site near lac promoter
• Resulting bend in DNA enhances RNA polymerase binding which increases transcription
![Page 23: Gene Regulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812b19550346895d8f0a44/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• When both lactose and glucose are high, the lac operon is shut off – Glucose uptake causes cAMP levels to drop– CAP does not activate transcription– Bacterium uses one sugar at a time, glucose
• When lactose is high and glucose is low, the lac operon is turned on – Allolactose levels rise and prevent lac repressor from binding to
operator– CAP is bound to the CAP site– Bacterium uses lactose
• When lactose is low and glucose is high or low, the lac operon is shut off – Under low lactose conditions, lac repressor
prevents transcription of lac operon
