Q

Why regulate gene expression?

A
  • to conserve energy and resources. does not make gene product that would not be used
  • Development. some gene are only turned non to facliltate develoment and is turn off after development is complete
  • Cell and tissue. different tissue would need different gene to be turn on or off for specialise fuction
  • Interaction with the enviroment

Q

Regulation of translation in eukaryotes 5’-cap recognition

A

-4E-Binding Protein prevents formation of eIF4F complex,
-Blocks initiation of translation
on nutrient rich situation:
-mTOR is activated, 4EBP is phosphorylase
Phosphorylation of 4E-BP by mTOR prevents binding to eIF4E ->cap-dependent initiation of translation proceeds
In lo nutrition condition, mTOR is inactive, 4eBP is not phosphorilised and bind to eIF4E, prevent translation
mTOR is a global regulator of translation

42
Q

Regulation of translation in eukaryotes: Cap-dependent initiation of translation in eukaryotes

A

-DURING STRAVATION OF AMINO ACID, GCN4( increase in amino acid generation) and GCN2 (inhibition of translation ) is recruited
Phosphorylation of eIF2 by GCN2 inhibits the formation of Met-tRNAi
Reduced availability of Met-tRNAiinhibits initiation of translation

  • Formation of the tissues, organs and structures of the body (organogesesis)
49
Q

distinct process in embryogenesis

A

Four distinct but overlapping processes occurring during embryogenesis
Determination, Morphogenesis, Differentiation and Growth

50
Q

Determination

A

Determination – establishment of the fate of a cell before specialised characteristics have developed

51
Q

Morphogenesis

A

Cellular activities during embryogenesis:
cells divide, move around, change shape and come together to form functional units (organs)
Collectively these cellular activities are called morphogenesis
Process that generates the structures of an organism (tissues and organs) – controls the spatial distribution of cells in the developing organism

52

Differentiation

A

Differentiation – process by which cells acquire their distinct characteristics and functions
Associated with differences in gene expression
House-keeping Expressed in all cells
Cell specific Expressed in some cells

58
Q

Establishment of cell fate in C. elegans

A

It is possible to follow the fate of every cells in nematode embryogenesis >generate a lineage map
Cells become progressively more restricted in cell fate as development proceeds
Position 1 = Zygote gives rise to 7 different cell types
Position 2 = EMS cell gives rise to 5 different cell types
Position 3 = C cell gives rise to 3 different cell types
Establishment of cell fate involves changes in gene expression that allow a cell to proceed down one of a series of alternative pathways

59
Q

Conserved genetic control of animal development

A

Early embryogenesis is highly similar in vertebrates (and invertebrates)
This ‘modularity’ facilitates evolution of body parts/organs

60
Q

Development is gene regulation in space and time (how is homeotic gene expressed)

A

Homeotic genes are expressed in specific spatial domains and determine identity of body parts

61
Q

Genes involved in development

A

Regulatory genes
genes that control expression of other genes (e.g. transcription factors, signalling proteins)
These genes play a major role in determination
Effector genes
genes that determine properties of the cell (e.g. cytoskeletal proteins, trafficking proteins, adhesion molecules etc.)
These genes play a major role in morphogenesis and differentiation

62
Q

Cell communication coordinates gene expression

A

Spatial domains express distinct sets of genes in an organised manner
Groups of cells (called organisers) influence gene expression in other groups of cells
Without cell communication, organisation is lost

63
Q

Cell communication via a signaling pathway

A

Cells separated by plasma membranes must communicate through extracellular molecules –ligands
Ligands bind to and activate receptors on another cell . Active the receptor leading to phosporilasation of TF leading to active or inactive. cis regulation

64
Q

Establishment of the body plan nomalculture

A

from head to tail is anterior - posterior
from front to back is dorsal ventral
z axis is mediolateral

65
Q

A

Cells along the dorsoventral axis express genes depending on their relative spatial positions within the embryo
from dorsal to ventral: ZEN,DPP, THISBE, TWIST

66
Q

twist ROLE

A

Twist is expressed in ventral cells and promotes furrow formation

67
Q

Morphogens provide positional information

A
  1. Establish a morphogen concentration gradient
  2. Cells perceive morphogen conveys positional information via concentration
  3. Cell fate established according to positionpattern formation in response to morphogen concentration
68
Q

French Flag model

A

Different genes expressed in response to specific concentrations of the morphogen
Threshold concentrations mark the transition from one pattern of gene expression to another

69
Q

The morphogen Dorsal

A

Positional information along the dorsoventral axis is generated by a gradient of nuclear-localised Dorsal morphogen – determined by an external signal

70
Q

Role of Dorsal in pattern formation

A

Transcriptional activity of genes respond to different concentrations of Dorsal
twist has an upstream cis-acting regulatory element (enhancer)with two low-affinity Dorsal binding sites
>twist expression is activated in the ventral region of the embryo where there is a high conc. of Dorsal
-thisbe has upstream cis-acting regulatory elements (enhancer)with three high-affinity Dorsal binding sites
àthisbe expression is activated in the lateral region of the embryo where there is an intermediate conc. of Dorsal

71

73
Q

Anteroposterior patterning in Drosophila

A

Maternal effect genes > Establish anteroposterior axis
Gap genes > Formation of block of segments
Pair-rule genes > Segment periodicity (marking of segment)
Segmentation-polarity genes > Patterning within segments
Homeotic genes > Fate determination

74
Q

Examples of mutants in segmentation genes

A

mutation of gap gene lead to kruppel, lack large segment of embryo (posterior region)
Pair-rule genes have either evenskip or odd skip mutation ( lack segment at odd/even)
mutation in segment polarity lead to goosberry mutant, iregualr polarity
all are lethal

75
Q

bicoid is a maternally expressed gene

A

bicoid mRNA is produced in the nurse cells of the egg chamber and is deposited into the oocyte
bicoid mRNA is anchored at the anterior end of the egg. Bicoid marks the anterior end of the developing egg

76
Q

Bicoid protein gradient in the zygote

A

Early stages of embryogenesis – all nuclei contained within one cytoplasm – a syncitium
When bicoid mRNA is translated, Bicoid protein diffuses to form a concentration gradient
zygote post fetalization is immunolocalization (many nuclei in one cell)
Maternal-acting gene bicoid encodes a transcription factor

77
Q

Establishment of Gap gene expression

A

Gap genes are expressed in specific regions along the anteroposterior axis
Gap genes are regulated by the maternal-effect genes present in the anterior and posterior regions of the embryo (e.g. Bicoid)
Gap genes also regulate each other (e.g. Hunchback)

78
Q

Bicoid activates hunchback

A

The Gap gene hunchback is activated by Bicoid
The hunchback promoter has three Bicoid binding sites
Hunchback active in anterior region where there are high levels of Bicoid
Sharp posterior boundary might arise from a threshold
-when a reporter gene is added to measure the effect of mutant, the less bicoid binding site, the smaller affected area

79
Q

Regulators of Krüppel

A

Hunchback is an activator of Krüppel
But high levels of Hunchback are associated with a lack of Krüppel expression
Gap genes can also restrict each others expression domains through repression
Giant and Knirps repress Krüppel
High Hunchback concentration activates Giant
Giant represses Krüppel.

A

-it is regulated by both maternal gene and gap gene

82
Q

Control of even-skipped expression

A

cis-acting regulatory elements of eve, different stripe are coded separately
Stripes turned on one by one – independently regulated
on the stripe 2 enhancer sequence, there is 5 acitivator sequnece for bicoid and 1 for hunch back. ontop of that there is 3 krippple and giant binding site (repressor)

A
  • expasion in number of copies (4) and gene loss lead to 39 hox gene
  • retain the arrangement of gene in the chromosome
  • genome order of hox gene still similar eventhough does not develop segmently
  • hox 1,3,4 in anteior while hox 8-13 in posterior
88
Q

Hox genes specify vertebrate identify

A

hox10 mutant Lumbar >thoracic (thorax should end at t13)
hox11 mutant Sacral >lumbar
Hox10 and Hox11 act in posterior segments to repress (more) anterior identity

89
Q

Translational regulation of cell identity in C. elegans

A

-during the 4 cell stage :anterior ABa, ABp, P2, EMS posterior
-glp-1 mRNA is present in all cells at four-cell stage
BUT GLP-1 protein is only present in ABa/ABp cells
Spatial Control Region (SCR) in glp-1 3’UTR is required for repression of GLP-1 in EMS and P2 (posterior) cells
Translational repression of GLP-1 in EMS and P2 also requires Gld-1
GLD-1 expression is high in posterior cells, and associates with glp-1 3’UTR
