Structure of Gene
Structure of Gene
-segments of DNA which can be transcripted and translated to produce RNA & proteins.
-Other segments of DNA which can’t encode the information- Intergenic sequence
-the packaging of DNA into chromatin and its modification by methylation impart
further levels of complexity to the control of eukaryotic gene expression.
-basal expression
- TATA box directs the DNA polymerase to the transcription start point
- CAAT box specifies the rate of transcription
Enhancers increase the rate of transcription
Silencer decreases the rate of transcription
-Regulated expression
