Transcription Attenuation in Prokaryotes02:42

Transcription Attenuation in Prokaryotes

19.8K
Transcriptional attenuation occurs when RNA transcription is prematurely terminated due to the formation of a terminator mRNA hairpin structure.  Bacteria use these hairpins to regulate the transcription process and control the synthesis of several amino acids including histidine, lysine, threonine, and phenylalanine. Transcription attenuation takes place in the non-coding regions of mRNA.
There are several different mechanisms used to attenuate transcription. In ribosome mediated...

Co-activators and Co-repressors

9.0K
Gene transcription is regulated by the synergistic action of several proteins that form a complex at a gene regulatory site. This is observed in eukaryotes, where the regulation of gene expression is a complex process. Regulatory proteins in eukaryotes can broadly be classified into two types – regulators that bind directly to specific DNA sequences and co-regulators that associate with regulatory proteins but cannot directly bind to the DNA. These co-regulators are further divided into...

General Transcription Factors

7.8K
Tissue-specific transcription factors contribute to diverse cellular functions in mammals. For example, the gene for beta globin, a major component of hemoglobin, is present in all cells of the body. However, it is only expressed in red blood cells because the transcription factors that can bind to the promoter sequences of the beta globin gene are only expressed in these cells. Tissue-specific transcription factors also ensure that mutations in these factors may impair only the function of...

Bacterial Transcription01:53

Bacterial Transcription

39.5K
RNA polymerase (RNAP) carries out DNA-dependent RNA synthesis in both bacteria and eukaryotes. Bacteria do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. So, transcription and translation occur simultaneously, on the same DNA template.
Transcription can be divided into three main stages, each involving distinct DNA sequences to guide the polymerase. These are:

Master Transcription Regulators02:23

Master Transcription Regulators

8.0K
Master transcription regulators are regulatory proteins that are predominantly responsible for regulating the expression of multiple genes. Often these genes work in concert to drive a  complex process. Activation of a master transcription regulator can lead to a cascade of transcriptional activation necessary for that outcome. These regulators can directly bind to the regulatory sequences of the various genes involved, or they can indirectly regulate transcription by binding to regulatory...

Area of Science:

  • Plant Molecular Biology
  • Plant Physiology
  • Gene Regulation

Background:

  • Cold acclimation is a crucial process for plant survival in low temperatures.
  • CBF (C-repeat Binding Factor) transcription factors are key regulators of cold-responsive genes.
  • The CBF regulon encompasses approximately 170 genes critical for cold tolerance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the regulatory network controlling cold-responsive genes.
  • To understand the interplay between CBF transcription factors and other early cold-induced factors.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of gene expression patterns under cold stress.
  • Identification of transcription factors involved in cold response pathways.
  • Investigating the regulatory relationships within the cold acclimation network.

Main Results:

  • CBF transcription factors regulate a significant number of cold-responsive genes (CBF regulon).
  • A complex regulatory network, involving multiple early cold-induced transcription factors, governs CBF regulon genes.
  • These findings highlight a sophisticated genetic mechanism for plant cold acclimation.

Conclusions:

  • Plant cold acclimation is orchestrated by a complex transcriptional network.
  • Understanding this network is vital for improving crop resilience to cold stress.
  • Further research into early cold-induced transcription factors can reveal new strategies for stress tolerance.
