2 Gene Regulation Gene regulation refers to all aspects of controlling the levels and/or activities of specific gene products. the gene product is either a protein or an RNA molecule regulation can occur at any stage of gene expression which involves accessibility of the gene itself (chromatin structure) transcription & translation (if gene encodes protein) modification of the gene product
3 Transcription Factors Transcription factors are proteins that either help activate or inhibit transcription. Many transcription factors bind to specific DNA sequences in the regulatory regions of genes. Activation domain DNA DNA-binding domain DNA-binding transcription factors have a DNA-binding domain and one or more activation domains that mediate effects on transcription
4 1. Gene Regulation in Bacteria Chapter Reading pp
5 Bacterial Gene Regulation Gene regulation in bacteria is generally accomplished at the levels of transcription and post-translational modification of protein activity. Bacterial genes are commonly organized in multi-gene structures called operons: multiple gene coding regions organized in sequence under control of a single promoter genes in the operon are part of same metabolic pathway operons are typically inducible or repressible

10 2. Gene Regulation in Eukaryotes Chapter Reading pp
11 Overview of Eukaryotic Gene Regulation Eukaryotic genes generally have the following: a single coding region consisting of exons & introns a single promoter multiple proximal and distal control sequences distal control sequences can be 1000s of base pairs away Eukaryotic gene regulation is dependent on chromatin structure in addition all stages between transcription initiation and the production of a functional gene product.
12 Signal Cap DNA RNA Degradation of mrna Degradation of protein Gene NUCLEUS Chromatin Chromatin modification: DNA unpacking involving histone acetylation and DNA demethylation Exon Intron Gene available for transcription Transcription Primary transcript RNA processing Tail mrna in nucleus Transport to cytoplasm CYTOPLASM mrna in cytoplasm Translation Polypeptide Protein processing, such as cleavage and chemical modification Active protein Transport to cellular destination Cellular function (such as enzymatic activity, structural support) Stages of Gene Regulation Chromatin structure* controls access to genes Transcription key stage of gene regulation RNA processing* splicing of the RNA transcript RNA stability Translation of mrna Post-translation modifications *relevant to eukaryotes only
13 Chromatin Structure Chromatin structure is regulated through modifications of either the DNA itself or the histone proteins associated with the DNA: DNA modifications addition of methyl (CH 3 ) groups to cytosines results in more compact, less accessible chromatin responsible for X-inactivation, genomic imprinting Histone modifications addition of acetyl groups ( opens chromatin) addition of CH 3 ( closed ) or PO 4 ( open ) groups
14 Histones & Chromatin Structure Amino acids available for chemical modification Histone tails DNA double helix Nucleosome (end view) (a) Histone tails protrude outward from a nucleosome Unacetylated histones Acetylated histones (b) Acetylation of histone tails promotes loose chromatin structure that permits transcription DNA is wrapped around histone cores in structures called nucleosomes. tails of histone proteins in nucleosomes can have acetyl, methyl or phosphate groups added to induce a more open or closed chromatin structure
15 Proximal & Distal Regulation DNA Enhancer (distal control elements) Proximal control elements Transcription start site Poly-A signal sequence Exon Intron Exon Intron Exon Transcription termination region Upstream Distal elements interact with promoter due to bending of DNA. Primary RNA transcript (pre-mrna) mrna Promoter 5 Intron RNA G P P 5 Cap P Transcription Exon Intron Exon Intron Exon 5 UTR Coding segment Start codon RNA processing Stop codon 3 UTR Poly-A signal AAA AAA Poly-A tail Downstream Cleaved 3 end of primary transcript 3 control elements bind specific transcription factors can be located near the promoter (proximal) or very far from the promoter (distal)
16 DNA Enhancer Current Model of Eukaryotic Transcription Initiation Activators Distal control element DNAbending protein Promoter TATA box General transcription factors Gene Group of mediator proteins Involves specific transcription factors as well as general transcription factors and other proteins involved in all transcription Initiation. Transcription initiation complex RNA polymerase II RNA polymerase II RNA synthesis
17 Differential Gene Expression Different genes are expressed in different cell types due to: differences in transcription factors differences in chromatin structure Control elements Available activators (a) Liver cell Enhancer LIVER CELL NUCLEUS Albumin gene expressed Crystallin gene not expressed Promoter Albumin gene (b) Lens cell Crystallin gene Available activators LENS CELL NUCLEUS Albumin gene not expressed Crystallin gene expressed
18 Regulatory roles of non-coding RNA Spliceosomes contain snrna molecules that direct the process of splicing introns from primary RNA transcripts MicroRNAs (mirna) complex with specific proteins to facilitate destruction of specific mrna molecules that contain sequences complementary to mirna sequence target chromatin modification to the centromeres of chromosomes resulting in highly condensed heterochromatin in the centromeres protection from infection by RNA viruses
19 Alternative Splicing of RNA Exons DNA Troponin T gene Primary RNA transcript RNA splicing mrna or
20 Hairpin mirna Hydrogen bond Dicer 5 3 (a) Primary mirna transcript mirna mirna mirnaprotein complex Production mrna degraded Translation blocked (b) Generation and function of mirnas
21 Protein Degradation Ubiquitin Proteasome Proteasome and ubiquitin to be recycled Protein to be degraded Ubiquitinated protein Protein entering a proteasome Protein fragments (peptides) proteins to be degraded in cells (e.g., cyclins) are tagged with a small protein called ubiquitin ubiquitinated proteins are directed to proteosomes which then degrade them
22 Chromatin modification Genes in highly compacted chromatin are generally not transcribed. Histone acetylation seems to loosen chromatin structure, enhancing transcription. DNA methylation generally reduces transcription. Chromatin modification mrna degradation Transcription RNA processing Translation Protein processing and degradation mrna degradation Each mrna has a characteristic life span, determined in part by sequences in the 5 and 3 UTRs. Transcription Regulation of transcription initiation: DNA control elements in enhancers bind specific transcription factors. Bending of the DNA enables activators to contact proteins at the promoter, initiating transcription. Coordinate regulation: Enhancer for liver-specific genes RNA processing Alternative RNA splicing: Primary RNA transcript mrna Enhancer for lens-specific genes Initiation of translation can be controlled via regulation of initiation factors. or Translation Protein processing and degradation Protein processing and degradation by proteasomes are subject to regulation.

24 Embryonic Development From fertilization to fully developed organism. Involves regulation of maternal and embryonic gene expression: 1 mm 2 mm (a) Fertilized eggs of a frog (b) Newly hatched tadpole Eye Leg Antenna Wild type Mutant maternal genes involved in packaging the egg during oogenesis (egg production) embryonic genes control development after fertilization Mutations in either maternal or embryonic genes can result in developmental defects
25 Key Events in Animal Development Oogenesis egg production in the ovary results in essential gene regulatory factors (RNA, protein) being packaged very specifically and unevenly in the developing egg Fertilization triggers translation of maternal mrna and rapid series of mitotic nuclear divisions (cleavage) Gastrulation & Induction cell rearrangement and cell-cell signaling resulting in the differentiation of cells and formation of distinct body structures
26 Early Development (a) Cytoplasmic determinants in the egg Unfertilized egg Sperm Nucleus (b) Induction by nearby cells Cell-cell communication also induces changes in gene expression. Fertilization Zygote (fertilized egg) Two-celled embryo Mitotic cell division Molecules of two different cytoplasmic determinants Egg is packaged unevenly with regulatory factors that are then partitioned into different cells after fertilization.

31 4. Gene Regulation & Cancer Chapter Reading pp
32 Oncogenes Oncogenes are genes with a role in cell cycle progression that have undergone a mutation that contributes to cancer formation (normal version is called a proto-oncogene). generally due to dominant gain-of-function mutations mutations are of 3 general types: 1) translocation of the gene 2) amplification (duplication) of the gene 3) mutations in the coding or regulatory regions of the gene
33 More on Oncogenes DNA Proto-oncogene Translocation or transposition: gene moved to new locus, under new controls Gene amplification: multiple copies of the gene within a control element Point mutation: within the gene New promoter Oncogene Oncogene Normal growthstimulating protein in excess Normal growth-stimulating protein in excess Normal growthstimulating protein in excess Hyperactive or degradationresistant protein mutations that result in excessive expression or function can contribute to cancer
34 1 Growth factor P P P P P P 3 G protein GTP Ras GTP Ras MUTATION Hyperactive Ras protein (product of oncogene) issues signals on its own. 2 Receptor Protein kinases (phosphorylation cascade) Ras is a G protein that is a proto-oncogene. Gain-of-function Ras mutations can trigger signal-independent activation of cell cycle. 4 (a) Cell cycle stimulating pathway 5 Transcription factor (activator) DNA Gene expression Protein that stimulates the cell cycle NUCLEUS
35 Tumor Suppressor Genes Tumor Suppressor Genes encode gene products that inhibit cell cycle progression. Mutations in tumor suppressor genes are typically recessive loss-of-function mutations. typically requires 2 mutant alleles (recessive) loss of functional gene product leads to defect in: inhibiting cell cycle progression triggering apoptosis activating DNA repair
36 2 Protein kinases MUTATION UV light 3 Active form of p53 Defective or missing transcription factor, such as p53, cannot activate transcription. 1 DNA damage in genome DNA Protein that inhibits the cell cycle (b) Cell cycle inhibiting pathway
37 Cancer Requires Multiple Mutations The multi-step or multi-hit hypothesis. Protein overexpressed EFFECTS OF MUTATIONS Protein absent Colon Cell cycle overstimulated Increased cell division Cell cycle not inhibited 1 Loss of tumorsuppressor gene APC (or other) (c) Effects of mutations 2 Activation of ras oncogene 4 Loss of tumorsuppressor gene p53 Normal colon epithelial cells Colon wall Small benign growth (polyp) 3 Loss of tumorsuppressor gene DCC Larger benign growth (adenoma) 5 Additional mutations Malignant tumor (carcinoma)
