Transcriptional-level control (10)
• Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation:– Deletion mapping– DNA footprinting– Genome-wide location analysis• Allows simultaneous monitoring of all the sites within
the genome that carry a particular activity.

Transcriptional-level control (11)
• The Glucocorticoid Receptor: An Example of Transcriptional Activation– PEPCK is a key enzyme controlled by a variety of
transcription factors called response elements.
![Page 4: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Transcriptional-level control (12)
• The Glucocorticoid Receptor (continued)– The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a nuclear
receptor that includes a ligand-binding domain and a DNA-binding transcription factor.
– The GR binds to a glucocorticoid response element (GRE), which is a palindrome.

Transcriptional-level control (13)
• Transcriptional Activation: The Role of Enhancers, Promoters, and Coactivators– Enhancers are DNA elements that stimulate
transcription.• Can be located very far upstream from the regulated
gene.• A promoter and its enhancers can be “cordoned off”
from other elements by sequences called insulators.

Transcriptional-level control (14)
• Coactivators serve as intermediates for transcription factors, and are divided into two classes:– Those that interact with the transcription
machinery.– Those that alter chromatin structure modifying
histones to regulate transcription.• By using histone acetyltransferases (HATS)• By using chromatin remodeling complexes

The nucleosomal landscape of yeast genes
![Page 13: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Transcriptional-level control (15)
• Transcriptional Activation from Poised Polymerases– RNA polymerases are also bound to
“transcriptionally silent” genes that initiate transcription but do not transition to elongation.
– These polymerases are ready for transcription but are poised by inhibitory factors.
– Gene transcription at the level of elongation may be important in activation of genes.
![Page 14: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Transcriptional-level control (16)
• Transcriptional Repression– Histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove acetyl
groups and repress transcription. • HDACs are subunits of larger complexes acting as
corepressor.• Corepressors are recruited to specific gene loci by
transcription factors that cause the targeted gene to be silenced.
![Page 15: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Transcriptional-level control (17)
• Transcriptional Repression (continued)– DNA Methylation• It is carried out by DNA methylatransferases.• It silences transcription in eukaryotic cells.• Methylation patterns of gene regulatory regions
change during cellular differentiation.
![Page 17: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Transcriptional-level control (18)
• Transcriptional Repression (continued)– DNA Methylation and Transcriptional Repression• Activity of certain genes varies according to changes in
DNA methylation.• DNA methylation serves more to maintain a gene in an
inactive state rather than to initially inactivate it.• DNA methylation is not an universal mechanism for
inactivating eukaryotic genes.
![Page 18: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Changes in DNA methylation levels during mammalian development
![Page 19: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Transcriptional-level control (19)
• Transcriptional Repression (continued)– Genomic Imprinting• Activity of certain genes, called imprinted genes,
depends on whether they originated with the sperm or egg.• Active and inactive versions of imprinted genes differ in
their methylation patterns.• Disturbances in imprinting patterns have been
implicated in a number of rare human genetic disorders.
![Page 20: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
12.5 Processing-level Control (1)
• Protein diversity can be generated by alternative splicing.
• Alternative splicing can become complex, allowing different combinations of exons in the final mRNA product.
![Page 21: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Processing-level Control (2)
• There are factors that can influence splice site selection.
• Exonic splicing enhancers serve as binding sites for regulatory proteins.
![Page 22: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Processing-level Control (3)
• RNA Editing– Specific nucleotides can be converted to other
nucleotides through mRNA editing.– RNA editing ca create new splice sites, generate
stop codons, or lead to amino acid substitutions.– It is important in the nervous system, where
messages need to have A converted to I (inosine) to generate a glutamate receptor.
![Page 23: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
12.6 Translational-level Control (1)
• Translation of mRNAs that have been transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is regulated.– Translational-level control occurs via interactions
of specific mRNAs and proteins in the cytoplasm.– Regulatory proteins act on unstranslated regions
(UTRs) at both their 5’ and 3’ ends.– UTRs contain nucleotide sequences used by the
cell to mediate translational-level control.
![Page 24: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Translational-level Control (2)
• Cytoplasmic Localization of mRNAs– In the fruit fly embryo the development of
anterior-posterior axis is regulated by the localization of specific mRNAs along the axis in the egg.
– Cytoplasmic localization of mRNAs is determined by their 3’ UTRs.
![Page 25: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cytoplasmic localization of mRNAs
![Page 26: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cytoplasmic localization of mRNAs
![Page 27: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Translational-level Control (3)
• The Control of mRNA Translation– Several important processes depend on mRNAs
that were synthesized at a previous time and stored in the cytoplasm in an inactive state.
– Other mechanisms influence the rate of translation of specific mRNAs through proteins that recognize specific elements in the UTRs of those mRNAs.
– Example: mRNA that codes for ferritin.
![Page 28: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Translational-level Control (4)
• The Control of mRNA Stability– The lifetimes of eukaryotic mRNA vary widely.– Poly(A) tail length may influence the longevity of
mRNA.• As an mRNA remains in the cytoplasm, its poly(A) tail
tends to be reduced.• When the tail is about 30 A residues, the tail is
shortened.– Certain destabilizing proteins in the 3’ UTR may
affect the rate of poly(A) tail shortening.

mRNA degradation in mammalian cells
![Page 31: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Translational-level Control (5)
• The Control of mRNA Stability (continued)– Deadenylation, decapping, and 5’ 3’
degradation occur within small transient cytoplasmic granules (P-bodies).
– P-bodies can also store mRNAs no longer being translated.
![Page 32: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Translational-level Control (6)
• The Role of MicroRNAs in Translational-level Control– miRNAs act by binding to site in the 3’UTR of their
target mRNAs.– Translational-level by miRNAS has been a bit
controversial.– Some studies suggest that miRNAs carry out
translational-level control by inducing the degradation of target mRNA.
![Page 33: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Potential mechanisms by which miRNAs might decrease gene expression at translational level

12.7 Post-translational Control: Determining Protein Stability (1)
• The factors that control a protein’s lifetime are not well understood.
• Protein stability may be determined by the amino acids on the N-terminus.
• Degradation of proteins is carried out within hollow, cylindrical proteasomes.
![Page 35: Transcriptional-level control (10) Researchers use the following techniques to find DNA sequences involved in regulation: – Deletion mapping – DNA footprinting.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f7a9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Post-translational Control: Determining Protein Stability (2)
• Proteasomes recognize proteins linked to ubiquitin.
• Ubquitin is transferred by ubiquitin ligases to proteins being degraded.
• Once polubiquitanated, a protein is recognized by the cap of the proteasome.
• Once degraded, the component amino acids are released back into the cytosol.
