Document Summary

Although many aspects of eukaryotic gene structure and expression are similar to that in bacteria, the compartmentalization of eukaryotic cells affords dramatically increased opportunities for regulation. basic structure of eukaryotic vs prokaryotic cell with respect to gene expression. Ribosomes are kept away from mrna in euks. More than one rna polymerase polymerase 2 does not bind to naked promoters. Proteins must be particular shape to fit into helix: helix turn helix. Lac repressor has helix turn helix protein for binding onto operator region of lac: zinc finger dna binding motif binds with the major groove. Series of amino acids that are able to associate with zinc cofactors and form a specific shape that recognizes dna sequence. Leucine zipper holds two monomer dna binding proteins together. Dna binding proteins often acts as dimers. Contains zipper = coding for dna binding protein.
