3
Q
Physical modification of genes
A
- dna loss (RBC nucleus extrusion)
- dna amplifaction
- dna rearrangement
4
Q
Chemical modification of genes
A
methylation (CpG islands 5CG3) (globin is methylated in nonhb cells)
5
Q
Transcriptional regulation of genes
A
chromatin condensation (histone binds DNA in mature RBC) regulation via TF
6
Q
Posttranscriptional regulation of genes
A
alternnative splicing altnerative polyadenylation mRNA editing mRNA transport mRNA stability
7
Q
Translational regulation of genes
A
initiation of protein synthesis: heme regulates globin mRNA translation
