Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

875
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...

Combinatorial Gene Control02:33

Combinatorial Gene Control

8.3K
Combinatorial gene control is the synergistic action of several transcriptional factors to regulate the expression of a single gene. The absence of one or more of these factors may lead to a significant difference in the level of gene expression or repression.
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...

Regulation of Expression Occurs at Multiple Steps

22.5K
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...

Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators02:13

Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators

6.4K
Transcriptional regulators bind to specific cis-regulatory sequences in the DNA to regulate gene transcription. These cis-regulatory sequences are very short, usually less than ten nucleotide pairs in length. The short length means that there is a high probability of the exact same sequence randomly occurring throughout the genome.  Since regulators can also bind to groups of similar sequences, this further increases the chances of random binding. Transcriptional regulators form...

Constitutive and Regulated Gene Expression

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...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are crucial for understanding cancer's molecular mechanisms.
  • Existing GRN construction algorithms struggle with network directionality and regulatory relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel method, CSER (causal strength and ensemble regression), for constructing accurate and directed GRNs.
  • To identify key regulatory genes and understand their interactions in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Main Methods:

  • CSER quantifies causal gene associations using conditional mutual information, removing indirect regulation.
  • Ensemble regression infers regulatory direction and interaction types (activation/repression).
  • Applied CSER to simulated and real gene expression data for CRC.

Main Results:

  • CSER accurately constructs directed GRNs and infers regulation types, outperforming traditional methods on simulated data.
  • Identified key colorectal cancer (CRC) regulatory genes: ADAMDEC1, CLDN8, and GNA11.
  • Integrated immune and microbial data to reveal CRC GRN interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Conclusions:

  • CSER provides a more accurate method for GRN construction and analysis.
  • Identified novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CRC through integrated analysis.
  • Highlights the complex interplay between the CRC GRN and its microenvironment for improved diagnosis and prognosis.
