Developmental expression of synthetic cis-regulatory systems composed of spatial control elements from two different genes.
Synthetic cis-regulatory systems consisting of positively and negatively acting cis-regulatory modules of the Endo16 gene were combined with the lineage-specific regulatory element of the SM50 gene associated with a reporter and injected into eggs of sea urchins. We show here that synthetic cis-regulatory systems consisting of the positive Endo16 regulatory elements linked with the SM50 regulat...
متن کاملCis-Regulatory Timers for Developmental Gene Expression
How does a fertilized egg decode its own genome to eventually develop into a mature animal? Each developing cell must activate a battery of genes in a timely manner and according to the function it will ultimately perform, but how? During development of the notochord--a structure akin to the vertebrate spine--in a simple marine invertebrate, an essential protein called Brachyury binds to specif...
متن کاملConserved cis-regulatory modules in promoters of genes encoding wheat high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits
The concentration and composition of the gliadin and glutenin seed storage proteins (SSPs) in wheat flour are the most important determinants of its end-use value. In cereals, the synthesis of SSPs is predominantly regulated at the transcriptional level by a complex network involving at least five cis-elements in gene promoters. The high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) are encoded b...
متن کاملModeling the cis-regulatory modules of genes expressed in developmental stages of Drosophila melanogaster
Because transcription is the first step in the regulation of gene expression, understanding how transcription factors bind to their DNA binding motifs has become absolutely necessary. It has been shown that the promoters of genes with similar expression profiles share common structural patterns. This paper presents an extensive study of the regulatory regions of genes expressed in 24 developmen...
متن کاملConserved Cis-Regulatory Modules Control Robustness in Msx1 Expression at Single-Cell Resolution
The process of transcription is highly stochastic leading to cell-to-cell variations and noise in gene expression levels. However, key essential genes have to be precisely expressed at the correct amount and time to ensure proper cellular development and function. Studies in yeast and bacterial systems have shown that gene expression noise decreases as mean expression levels increase, a relatio...
