of gene expressionConstitutive expressionSome genes are essential and necessary for life,and therefore are continuously expressed,such as those enzymes involved in TAC.These genes are called housekeeping genes.Induction and repression The expression levels of some genes fluctuate in response to the external signals.Regulation of Gene

GenesPlacIPlacOlacrepressorRegulation of lac Operon Sequence of lac operonlac operon(TTTACA/TATGTT)is a weak promoter,and has a basal expression level.CAP(Catabolite gene activator protein,or cAMP Receptor Protein)binding site is at-60 region.CAP is a homodimer with binding ability to DNA and cAMP.Bacteria do not express these three enzymes when glucose is available.However,bacteria produce those enzymes if lactose is present and glucose is absent.Inducible expressionMetabolism of lactose Inducers异乳糖异乳糖 When lactose is absent,no lac gene is expressed.Situation 1lacI gene has its own promoter,and its expression can produce LacI repressor.The tetrameric Lac repressor binds to the lac operator site Olac.The binding blocks the RNA-pol moving on DNA template,and no lacZ,lacY,and lacA are expressed.galactosidaseSituation 2When lactose is present,lacZ,lacY,and lacA genes are expressed.The galactosidase is weakly expressed(at the basal level).When lactose is present,it is converted to allolactose or galactose that binds to the repressor.The repressor can no longer bind to the operator,and lac gene can be expressed.Galactose,Allolastose and IPTG are referred to as inducer.Lactose is an indirect inducer.The lacZYA RNA transcript is very unstable and could be degraded quickly.Therefore,the synthesis of three enzymes will be cease under normal condition.Presence of

the formation of cAMP.When glucose is present,cAMP is lower.Only after glucose is exhausted,cAMP becomes higher.The CAP-cAMP complex is formed,and this complex binds to the CAP binding site on lac operon.When glucose is present,the cAMP is low,no CAP-cAMP is formed and the expression of the lac operon is still low.Situation 3 When glucose is absent and lactose is present,the CAP-cAMP complex

addition to the repressor regulation,trp gene has a fine tuning mechanism called attenuation.The trp operon is regulated using attenuation mechanism at the translation level.Transcription

Leader sequence Recall that a leader region(trpL)occurs between the operator and the trpE sequence.Within this leader is the attenuator sequence(att).att sequence contains a start codon,2 Trp codons,a stop codon,and four regions of sequence that can form three alternative secondary structures.Secondary structure SignalPaired region 1-2pausePaired region 2-3anti-terminationPaired region

of Eukaryotic Gene expressionEvery cell has almost the same DNA and therefore the same genes.But different genes need to be“on”and“off”in different types of cells and different stages of the cell growth.Therefore,gene expression must be regulated.embryobonelivermusclespermRegulation of Gene
