A summary of transcription and translation in a eukaryotic cell 1) Transcription- RNA is transcribed from a DNA template. 2) RNA processing- In eukaryotes the RNA transcript (pre mRNA) is spliced and modified to produce mRNA, which moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm 3) The mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches to a ribosome 4) Amino acid activation- Each amino acid attaches to its proper tRNA with the help of a specific enzyme and ATP. 5) Translation- A succession of tRNAs add their amino acids to the polypeptide chain as the mRNA is moved through the ribosome one codon at a time (When completed the polypeptide is released from the ribosome Conducting the Genetic Orchestra Prokaryotes and eukaryotes alter gene expression in response to their changing environment In multicellular eukaryotes, gene expression regulates development and is responsible for differences in cell types RNA molecules play many roles in regulating gene expression in eukaryotes
Individual bacteria respond to environmental change by regulating their gene expression A bacterium can tune its metabolism to the changing environment and food sources This metabolic control occurs on two levels: Adjusting activity of metabolic enzymes Regulating genes that encode metabolic enzymes Bacteria often respond to environmental change by regulating transcription Natural selection has favored bacteria that produce only the products needed by that cell A cell can regulate the production of enzymes by feedback inhibition or by gene regulation Gene expression in bacteria is controlled by the operon model
