Section 1 The basic concept, specificity and modality of gene expression
1.1 The concept of gene expression gene expression =+ translation transcription
1 proteins 2 RNAs 1 proteins 2 RNAs DNAs RNAs Proteins Interaction among large biomolecules
1.2 The specificity of gene expression in the time and the space
1.2.1 The temporal specificity of gene • expression • The temporalspecificity is that some specific genes in genome are expressed in order ofspecific time • The temporalspecificity is alsostage specifi-city in the polycellular biosomes • The expressed genes in early developmental steps are more than in other steps in polycellular biosomes • The expressed genes relate with biological function.
1.2.2 The spatial specificity of gene • expression • In the polycellular biosomes the spatial speci- ficity of gene expression is that one or some specific genes in the genome are expressed in different systems, organs, tissues and cellsin order of space. • The spatial specificity of gene expression is also known as tissue specificity or cell specificity. • The expressed genes relate with biological function.
1.3 Modality of gene expression 1.3.1 Constitutive gene expression 1.3.2 Inductive and repressive gene expression
1.3.1 constitutive gene expression Some genes in genome are known as housekeeping genes. The expression of housekeeping genes in genome are also called constitutive gene expression. Constitutive gene expressionis continual in most cells.
The expressive products ofconstitutive genes are absolutely necessary in all over life process. The expression of constitutive genes are less effected by environment factors. The constitutive gene expression are only effected by interacting between promoter and RNA polymerase.
1.3.2 Inductive and repressive gene expression The expression of some genes in genome are more effected by environment factors. The increase of gene expression which is effected by environment factors are called induction, in contrast, the decrease of that are repression.
The expression of induced or repressed genes are regulated by other factors, besides interaction between promoter and RNA polymerase. The special elements are located in the regulation region of induced or repressed genes. Induction and repression of gene expression correspond with each other.
1.4 Biological significance of gene expression regulation acclimation keep growth and proliferation keep individual development and differentiation
Section 2 Basic principle of gene expression regulation
2.1 multilevel regulation of gene expression • check point • activity of gene structure in genome • DNA amplification • DNA rearangement • DNA methylation • initiation of RNA transcription* • process of RNA post-transcription • transport of RNA post-process • initiation of protein translation • process of protein post-translation

2.2.1.2 the prokaryotic operon The concept of the operon was first proposed in 1961 by Jacob and Monod. An operon is a whole unit of prokaryotic gene expression which includes a set ofstructural genes and its promoter, operator and other control elements which are recognized and bond by regulatory gene products.
i gene region Structural genes region Regulatory region 3’ 5’ Gene 1 Gene 2 Gene 3 Inhibitor gene p O The operator is a site bond with the repressor. The operator mediates a negative regulation of operon. The operator is next to the promoter. The operator sites in downstream of the promoter. The operator overlaps partly with the promoter some time. RNA polymerase repressor
2.2.1.3 Other regulator of prokaryotic operons special DNA sequence in some prokaryotic operons can bind with activator of RNA polymerase increase transcription of operons mediate positive regulation of operons The positive regulation is not main mechanism about gene expression regulation of operons, but the negative regulation is .
2.2.1.4 cis-acting elements of eukaryotic gene The cis-acting elements are DNA fragments. The cis-acting elements are the regulator of eukaryotic gene transcription There are cis-acting elements in the flakings or the introns of eukaryotic gene. The cis-acting elements include promoter,enhancer, silencer and so on.
3’ exon intron exon 5’ silencer enhancer enhancer promoter gene coding region silencer The eukaryotic genes are monocistron. there are not the operons structure in eukaryotic genome RNA polymerase
2.2.2 regulation protein 2.2.2.1 regulation protein of prokaryotic genes specific factors: decide identification and bind between RNA polymerase and specific promoter repressor: bind operator and repress gene transcription activator: bind a special DNA sequence next to promoter advance to bind between RNA polymerase and promoter and to form transcription initiation complex.
2.2.2.2 regulation protein of eukaryotic genes transcription factor, it is also trans-acting factor. cis-acting protein protein A trans-acting protein trans-acting factor trans-regulation PA A PB B protein B cis-acting protein cis-regulation
2.2.3 RNA polymerase 2.2.3.1 promoter of prokaryotes/eukaryotes effect on RNA polymerase The promoter of prokaryotes/eukaryotes is consist of transcription initiation site, RNA polymerase identification and binding site and other regulation elements. The promoter of eukaryotes is more complicated than that of prokaryotes.
The sequence of different promoter is certain different. The affinity of prokaryotic promoter with RNA polymerase effects directly on frequency of gene transcription initiation The affinity between eukaryotic RNA polymerase and promoter is less, when RNA polymerase is single. The eukaryotic RNA polymerase can bind with promoter after forming complex with basic transcription factor.
2.2.3.2 regulation proteins effect on activity of RNA polymerase Specific promoter decides basic transcription frequency of genes. The regulation proteins can changetranscription frequency of genes. The conformation or the expression level in the cell of regulation proteins gets a change under stimulation of environment signal.
2.2.4 DNA-protein and protein-protein interaction in transcription regulation of eukaryotic genes 2.2.4.1DNA-protein interaction Identificationand bind between cis-acting proteins or trans-acting factors and cis-acting elements Its interaction is a non-covalent bond. Form DNA-protein complex finally
2.2.4.2 protein-protein interaction The most regulation protein can form homodimer, heterodimer, homopolymer or heteropolymer before binding with cis-acting element. Ability of some regulation protein to bind with its cis-acting element is increased or decreased after polymerization. Some regulation protein don’t bind with DNA, but can effect the activity binding between DNA and other regulation protein by protein-protein interaction.

3.1.2 universality of operon model the most prokaryotic genes There are many operons in orderin prokaryotic genome. Don’t discover operon in eukaryotic genome. 3.1.3 universality of repression mechanism The repression mechanism is the main mechanism of transcriptional regulation of prokaryotic genes
