Document Summary

Topic 2. 4 regulation of gene expression (continued) Regulatory proteins bind to regulatory sequences to control transcription: general transcription factors (and mediator) bind to promoter to help recruit and position rna pol, other proteins bind to regulatory regions to help promote or repress transcription. Tata box: promoter region found in eukaryotic genes. It is the interplay between all of the regulatory sequences that will determine when and how much rna is transcribed from a gene. All rna is processed in some way before export, including: cleavage, splicing, chemical modification, folding. Different rnas are processed in unique ways: getting ready for translation! 5" cap is added to eukaryotic pre-mrna shortly after initiation of rna synthesis: unusual guanine with added methyl group. 3" polya tail: a sequence in the pre-mrna transcript signals for cleavage, and then repeated adenines are added.

'transcription factors'or initiation.

10) In eukaryotic cells, a repressor

[A] is made of DNA.
[B] binds to the enhancer region to block transcription. [

C] is located both upstream and downstream from the promoter.
[D] binds to the operator to block RNA polymerase.

[E] binds to a silencer to reduce transcription rates.

Coordinated regulation of genes in eukaryotic cells [A] is the result of positioning the same regulatory sequence in front of each gene.
[B] results from all of those genes being under the control of one promoter.

[C] occurs because related genes all have the same

operons.
[D] occurs because enhancers cause DNA to bend.

		in trans only.
		in cis only.
		in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
