Regulation of Gene Expression (3 Credits)
Unit 1: Basics of Gene Expression
Regulatory elements/ factors: Inculcate concepts with suitable examples for; Cis acting
elements, Trans-acting factors. Exceptional proteins behaving Cis-acting. Regulation of
transposition of Tn3 and Tn9. Modifications of Cis-acting elements to influence and to
affect regulation. Influencing or affecting gene expression as a presence / or absence of
functional form of protein factor. Concept of Activator, Co-activator, Repressor (with
suitable examples). Examples with mechanisms; specific regulator and global regulator.
DNA protein interactions, RNA protein Interactions –conditions favoring and affecting
these interactions (this is to be dealt with ref to Motifs).
Unit 2: Bacterial Gene Expression
Concept of Operon, Regulation of gene expression; positive control –the ara operon,
negative control –paradigm the lac operon and attenuation mediated control or posttranscriptional
regulatory control –the trp operon. Must include structural organization of
above operons, functional relevance of genes within, regulatory circuit, modes by which
the operon can be regulated other than above mentioned mode. Concept of Catabolite
Repression. Examples of non-catabolite sugars and their regulation, catabolite repression
in amino acid metabolism –examples at molecular level.
Unit 3: Eukaryotic Gene Expression
Activators :- gene specific and generalized type of activator. Domains of activators,
protein and DNA/ or RNA binding domain. Modification of activator. Enhancer
mediated gene expression –examples. Gene expression of metallothionine gene
expression. Response elements such as; steroid hormone response elements, metal
response elements, Basal Expression response elements. Regulation of gene expression
at a step of activation of basal apparatus, Post initiation gene expression – mechanism of
relieving roadblock (stuttering of RNA polymerase) with example. Regulation of mRNA
molecules involving both nonstop and nonsense mechanisms. Gene regulation with
example –post transcriptional –yeast and Drosophila genes, insulators in genomic
imprinting –concept and example.
