El paisaje transcripcional del trigo poliploide
Resumen
En el trigo de pan, la expresión génica homoeóloga varía según el tejido, y muchos genes muestran una expresión sesgada. Esta variación, particularmente en regiones de alta recombinación, ofrece información sobre la evolución de la función génica y el desarrollo de los rasgos de los cultivos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La genómica
- Biología vegetal
- Ciencia de los cultivos
Sus antecedentes:
- Las especies poliploides, como el trigo de pan, dependen de la expresión génica homoeológica coordinada para los fenotipos clave.
- La comprensión de la expresión homoeológica es crucial para la mejora importante de los cultivos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Realizar un análisis exhaustivo de todo el genoma de los patrones de expresión homoeológica en el trigo de pan hexaploide.
- Identificar patrones de sesgo de expresión y asimetría en los tejidos y variedades de trigo.
Principales métodos:
- Integración de extensos conjuntos de datos de expresión génica.
- Análisis de patrones de expresión homoeológicos en todo el genoma.
- Construcción de redes de coexpresión y un atlas detallado de las expresiones.
Principales resultados:
- Aproximadamente el 30% de los homoeólogos de trigo presentan una expresión no equilibrada, que varía significativamente entre los tejidos.
- Las asimetrías de expresión son pronunciadas en regiones cromosómicas distales de alta recombinación, mostrando variación en la secuencia de codificación entre tejidos, entre cultivares.
- Las redes de coexpresión demuestran una extensa coordinación del desarrollo de los homoeólogos.
Conclusiones:
- Los genes dinámicos de transcripción en estas regiones pueden indicar etapas tempranas de neo- o subfuncionalización.
- El estudio proporciona un marco para apuntar a los genes candidatos relacionados con los rasgos agronómicos del trigo.
- Comprender el sesgo de expresión homoeólogo es clave para aprovechar la poliploidía para el mejoramiento de cultivos.

Overview
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.

Transcription Factors
82.8K
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...

Master Transcription Regulators
7.8K
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...

Eukaryotic Transcription Inhibitors
11.0K
Certain biochemical processes, such as embryonic development and cell growth regulation, depend on the repression of specific genes. DNA binding proteins known as eukaryotic transcription inhibitors regulate the repression of gene expression in eukaryotes. The presence of these inhibitors at the required location and time in the cell is triggered by the presence of hormones and additional signals from other cells.
Eukaryotic transcription inhibitors usually contain two distinct domains, a...

Eukaryotic Transcription Activators
12.8K
Transcription activators are proteins that promote the transcription of genes from DNA to RNA. In most cases, these proteins contain two separate domains ‒ a domain that binds to DNA and a domain for activating transcription; however, in some cases, a single domain is responsible for both binding and activation of transcription, as seen in the glucocorticoid receptor and MyoD.
The binding domains are capable of recognizing and interacting with regulatory sequences on the DNA. These...
