Differential Gene Transcription • What are the major differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes?
Promoters • How do promoters work?
Enhancer • How is an enhancer different from a promoter? • Activates use of promoter • Activates promoters on same strand • Doesn’t need to be adjacent to gene • Doesn’t need to be upstream
Enhancer • How can one identify presence of an enhancer? • Why are they so important?
Transcription Factors • What are the major structural domains of these molecules? • DNA-binding domain • Trans-activating domain • Protein-protein interaction domain
Transcription Factors • What is MITF? Trans-activating domain Protein-protein interaction domain DNA-binding domain DNA
