INTRODUCTION
Transcription process has three stages
initiation, elongation and
termination.
In the initiation and elongation are checkpoints
that regulate
GENE
EXPRESSION
NEW WAY DISEASES CAN DEVELOP:
PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN MECHANISM DIRECTS GENE EXPRESSION IN
CELLS
The DPF3b is a protein that recognizes a gene activator chemical marks on histones in the transcription is crucial for muscle growth and heart development
Transcription is a crucial step in
gene expression
Occurs in response to physiological and environmental stimuli
Is dictated by chemical modifications of the DNA and histones.
This discovery has broad implications in the field of epigenetic to human biology in health and disease
Science of heritable changes that do not depend on the sequence of DNA bases
Brodomains are the protein domains that recognize acetylated lysine residues and are often essential for an association that may occur between proteins and histones and can rearrange the chromatin
The discovery of this new protein involved in gene
regulation is very important because if you fail to understand
the mechanisms involved in disease development can be achieved most appropriate
treatments
OBSERVATION
ROLE OF RNA POLYMERASE IN
GENE TRANSCRIPTION DEMONSTRATED
RNA polymerase plays an important role in the formation of the transcription bubble and in the process of bending the DNA to facilitate entry of DNA into the active site.
Sequence, structure and function of RNA polymerase is universally conserved from bacteria to humans, this facilitates the study of this.
The stage of transcription initiation of RNA polymerase consists of three steps
The RNA polymerase binds with transcription promoting regions of DNA
Through interactions with the RNA polymerase, the DNA helix then unwinds
Forming an open "bubble" that allows the polymerase access to the exposed DNA sequence to begin transcription.
The importance of this study is that the RNA polymerase is the
most important molecules involved in transcription and in gene expression therefore any
knowledge about this will have a great clinical importance in the
development of pathologies
OBSERVATION
MEDICAL UTILITY
The expression of our genes is given by a combination of environmental factors, feeding radiation etc, when we come to understand the mechanism of expression can create new more effective treatments and also in terms of prevention
The discovery of new regulatory proteins may serve as biomarkers for certain diseases and acquire predictive value
