Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps01:23

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

1.5K
The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the...

Regulation of Expression Occurs at Multiple Steps

27.2K
Gene expression can be regulated at almost every step from gene to protein. Transcription is the step that is most commonly regulated. This involves the binding of proteins to short regulatory sequences on the DNA. This association can either promote or inhibit the transcription of a gene associated with the respective sequence.
Transcription results in the generation of precursor (pre-mRNA) that consists of both exons and introns, which needs further processing before being translated to a...

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

9.2K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Constitutive and Regulated Gene Expression01:27

Constitutive and Regulated Gene Expression

1.8K
Gene expression in prokaryotes is governed by constitutive and regulated systems, allowing cells to balance the production of essential proteins with adaptive responses to environmental changes.Constitutive Gene ExpressionConstitutive, or housekeeping, genes are continuously expressed as they encode proteins vital for fundamental cellular processes. These include enzymes for glycolysis, ribosomal components for protein synthesis, and proteins involved in DNA replication. Their constant...

Gene Regulation During Sporulation01:17

Gene Regulation During Sporulation

651
Sporulation is a complex developmental process that allows certain Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis and Clostridium species, to survive extreme environmental conditions. This process is tightly regulated by a series of signaling cascades and transcriptional controls, ensuring the formation of a highly resistant endospore.Sporulation is triggered by unfavorable conditions, such as nutrient depletion, and is governed by a phosphorelay system. One of the sensor kinases, such as...

Area of Science:

  • Evolutionary developmental biology
  • Plant biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Understanding the molecular basis of morphological adaptations is crucial in evolutionary developmental biology.
  • Roots exhibit vast diversity in size and anatomy across vascular plants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To perform a genome-wide comparative analysis of molecular programs in developing roots across diverse plant species.
  • To investigate the conservation of root development genes and expression profiles.

Main Methods:

  • Defined temporal transcript accumulation in developing roots from seven vascular plants.
  • Conducted a genome-wide comparative analysis of gene expression maps.
  • Analyzed a subset of 133 known root development genes from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Main Results:

  • Gene expression maps revealed significant similarity in genes and developmental profiles across diverse plant roots.
  • Most analyzed Arabidopsis root development genes were found to be conserved in all studied plant species.
  • Conservation was observed even in lycophytes (e.g., Selaginella moellendorffii) with morphologically distinct roots.

Conclusions:

  • Basic molecular mechanisms of root formation are conserved across diverse plant species despite anatomical differences.
  • Roots may have evolved through parallel recruitment of similar developmental programs or elaboration of an ancestral program.
  • This conservation provides insights into the deep evolutionary history of root development in vascular plants.
