A bacterial promoter region is located before the -35 and -10 Consensus sequences. The closer the promoter region is to the consensus sequences the more often transcription of that gene will take place. There is not a set pattern for promoter regions as there are for consensus sequences.
Promoter activity of the P-RM and P-R promoters vs RNA polymerase concentration in the enterobacteriophage lambda [1]. Promoter activity is a term that encompasses several meanings around the process of gene expression from regulatory sequences —promoters [2] and enhancers. [3]
For example, an overactive distal promoter located about 1 kilobase away from the MUC5B gene contributes to atypical expression of this gene in gastric cancer cells. [4] Similarly, a few polymorphisms in the RUNX3 distal promoter alter the promoter's function, increasing the activity of the NF-κB transcription factor and the expression of the ...
[1] [2] These proteins are usually referred to as transcription factors. Enhancers are cis-acting. They can be located up to 1 Mbp (1,000,000 bp) away from the gene, upstream or downstream from the start site. [2] [3] There are hundreds of thousands of enhancers in the human genome. [2] They are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. [4]
In a rat, a painful learning experience, contextual fear conditioning, can result in a life-long fearful memory after a single training event. [23] Cytosine methylation is altered in the promoter regions of about 9.17% of all genes in the hippocampus neuron DNA of a rat that has been subjected to a brief fear conditioning experience. [24]
The vector is engineered to contain regulatory sequences that act as enhancer and promoter regions and lead to efficient transcription of the gene carried on the expression vector. [1] The goal of a well-designed expression vector is the efficient production of protein, and this may be achieved by the production of significant amount of stable ...
A sigma factor is a protein needed only for initiation of RNA synthesis in bacteria. [12] Sigma factors provide promoter recognition specificity to the RNA polymerase (RNAP) and contribute to DNA strand separation, then dissociating from the RNA polymerase core enzyme following transcription initiation. [13]
Transcription preinitiation complex, represented by the central cluster of proteins, causes RNA polymerase to bind to target DNA site. The PIC is able to bind both the promoter sequence near the gene to be transcribed and an enhancer sequence in a different part of the genome, allowing enhancer sequences to regulate a gene distant from it.
