  1. Regulation of gene expression Haixu Tang School of Informatics

  2. Genetic material are not lost

  3. Different Cell Types Synthesize Different Sets of Proteins • Many processes are common to all cells, and any two cells in a single organism therefore have many proteins in common. • Some proteins are abundant in the specialized cells in which they function and cannot be detected elsewhere, even by sensitive tests. Hemoglobin, for example, can be detected only in red blood cells. • Studies of the number of different mRNAs suggest that, at any one time, a typical human cell expresses approximately 10,000 20,000 of its approximately 30,000 genes • Although the differences in mRNAs among specialized cell types are striking, they nonetheless underestimate the full range of differences

  4. Gene Expression is regulated in Response to External Signals

  5. Switching devices for gene regulation • Short stretches of DNA of defined sequence (cis-elements) • gene regulatory proteins that recognize and bind to them (trans-factors)

  6. Base pairs in DNA can be recognized from their edges

  7. DNA conformation changes after protein binding
