Document Summary

Topic 2. 4 regulation of gene expression (continued) A transcription unit consists of two major parts: regulatory region, transcribed region. The structure of a gene and initiating expression of that gene transcription. Assembling the general transcriptional machinery in eukaryotic genes. Interactions between transcription regular and dna (minor/major groove) Dna-binding proteins (transcription factors) recognize correct binding site on dna by making specific non-covalent interactions with the sides of the base-pairs in the major or minor groove of that sequence. The assembly and stability of the general transcriptional machinery also depends on the binding of other regulators. Transcription factors control gene expression and gain access because of histone modifiers and chromatin remodeling. Histone modifications (e. g. acetylation) and chromatin remodeling complexes help to expose dna for transcription. Also binds onto the general transcriptional machinery. Transcription factors can have positive and negative control over gene expression.
