Gene Control
Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon:
• The type of cell• Internal chemical conditions
• External signals
• Built-in control systems

Mechanisms of Gene Control
Controls related to transcription
Transcript-processing controls
Controls over translation
Post-translation controls

Regulatory Proteins
Can exert control over gene
expression through interactions with:
– DNA
– RNA
– New polypeptide chains
– Final proteins

Activator and Repressor Proteins
• Positive Control System
– Activator protein enhances
some activity
• Negative Control System
– Repressor protein inhibits
some activity

Some Controls Affect Noncoding DNA
• Promoter signals beginning
of gene
• Enhancer is a binding site for
activator protein

Chemical Modifications
• Methylation of DNA can inactivate genes
• Acetylation of histones allows DNA unpacking and transcription

Gene Control in Prokaryotes
• No nucleus separates DNA from
ribosomes in cytoplasm
• When nutrient supply is high,
transcription is fast
• Translation occurs even before
mRNA transcripts are finished

The Lactose Operon
![Page 10: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Negative Control – Low Lactose
b In the absence of lactose, the repressor binds to two operators in DNA. It makes the DNA loop out in a way that blocks operon gene transcription; it stops RNA polymerase from binding to its promoter.

Negative Control – High Lactose
lactose
c When lactose is present, some is converted to a form that binds to the repressor and alters its shape. The altered repressor can’t bind to operators, so RNA polymerase is free to transcribe the operon genes.

Positive Control of Lactose Operon
• CAP is an activator protein
• CAP affects promoter
• CAP will adhere to promoter only
when in complex with cAMP; when
glucose levels are high
![Page 13: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Positive Control – High Glucose
• There is little cAMP
• CAP cannot be activated
• The promoter is not good at binding
RNA polymerase
• The lactose-metabolizing genes are
not transcribed very much
![Page 14: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Positive Control – Low Glucose
• cAMP accumulates
• CAP-cAMP complex forms
• Complex binds to promoter
• RNA polymerase can now bind
• The lactose-metabolizing genes are
transcribed rapidly
![Page 15: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cell Differentiation
• All cells in a multicellular organism
inherited the same genes
• Some of those genes are used in all cell
types
• During development, cells activate and
suppress other genes in selective ways
![Page 16: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Most Genes Are Turned Off
• Cells of multicelled organisms rarely use more than 5-10 percent of their genes at any given time
• The remaining genes are selectively expressed
![Page 18: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Polytene Chromosomes
• Occur in salivary glands of midge larvae
• Consist of multiple DNA molecules
• Can produce multiple copies of transcripts
![Page 19: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chromosome Puff
• Portion of the polytene chromosome in
which the DNA has loosened up to
allow transcription
• Appears in response to ecdysone
• Translation of transcripts from puffed
region produces protein components
of saliva

Controls Over Gene Expression
• Work at certain stage before, during, and after transcription and translation
• Most controls over gene expression occur at translation
![Page 21: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Selective Gene Expression
• All differentiated cells in a complex, multicelled body use most of their genes in much the same way
• Each type also uses a fraction of those genes in a unique, selective way
![Page 22: Controls Over Genes Chapter 14. Gene Control Which genes are being expressed in a cell depends upon: The type of cell Internal chemical conditions External.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f575503460f94c7b7db/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Homeotic Genes
• A class of master genes in most eukaryotic organisms
• Transcribed in specific locations in the developing embryo – products form in local tissue regions
• Guide formation of organsand limbs

X Chromosome Inactivation
• Mammalian females have two X
chromosomes per cell
• One X is inactivated in each cell
• Inactivation is random
• Female is a “mosaic”

Barr Body
• Condensed X chromosome
• Visible in micrographs
• May be either the maternal or the paternal X chromosome
