The steps and enzymes involved in the utilization of the sugar galactose in the yeast Saccharomyces
The transcriptional orientation of the 3 genes coding for enzymes important in galactose utilization in Saccharomyces There synthesis is regulated by the transcription activator Gal4 protein.
A protein with a C6-zinc finger (involves 6 cysteines) Many transcription regulator proteins have one (or more) zinc-finger domains
A retrovirus genome showing the location of the transcription activation sites (enhancers) The genome structure of mouse mammary tumor virus is shown here
Analysis of genetic regulation using reporter gene constructs
A transcription activator protein binds to the enhancer site and also interacts with components of the RNA polymerase to achieve increased transcription Enhancers and enhancer-binding proteins activate transcription reminiscent of the CAP site and CRP activator protein in the lac operon of E. coli.
A model for the structure of activator proteins bound to 2 enhancers and RNA polymerase II bound to the promoter and the interactions between them Structures like this involving DNA with bound activator proteins and RNA polymerase complex are names “enhanceosomes”. TBP stands for TATA-binding protein, a component of RNA polymerase II associated factor, TFIID
Uncovering of transcription protein binding sites by chromatin remodeling complexes makes binding by transcription-proteins possible
Different promoters may be enhanced depending upon which activator protein is present in a cell
The distribution of variable, joining and constant sequences which are spliced to create many different light chain proteins
Mating type switching during the life cycle of some strains of Saccharomyces
Both mating type genes are located on chromosome III of Saccharomyces. The mating type of the cellis determined by the sequence present at the MAT site
Regulation of a-specific, a-specific and haploid-specific genes in Saccharomyces Three proteins (a1, a1 and a2) are involved in regulating the expression of these 3 classes of genes.
Cutting by methylcytosine sensitive/insensitive restriction nucleases can be used to estimate the extent of cytosine methylation in a DNA sequence
Some human diseases are due to loss of sites involved in genomic imprinting
Alt.splicing combined with NMD can be used for genetic control
