6 unusual facts about Gene expression


1000 Plant Genomes Project

Since mRNA is the starting material, the amount of sequence representation for a given gene will be based on the expression level (how many mRNA molecules it produces).

Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia

Gene expression is affected instead of proteins in subtype two SCAs because of this.

Beta-thalassemia

DNA contains both the instructions (genes) for stringing amino acids together into the chains we call proteins, as well as stretches of DNA which do not code for proteins (noncoding DNA), but which may play important roles in regulating the level of working genes and proteins ultimately produced (see the expression of genes and gene translation into protein).

CD25 deficiency

The mutations cause expression of a defective α chain or complete absence thereof, an essential part of high-affinity interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptors.

Genetically modified mammal

This can be used to discover the function of an unknown gene, any genetic interactions that occur or where the gene is expressed.

Migraine surgery

A study has shown that when the cortical spreading depression phenomenon was induced in mice, ANP was expressed in the brain.


BEN domain

SMAR1 (Scaffold/Matrix attachment region-binding protein 1; also known as BANP), a tumour-suppressor MAR-binding protein that down-regulates Cyclin D1 expression by recruiting HDAC1-mSin3A co-repressor complex at Cyclin D1 promoter locus; SMAR1 is the target of prostaglandin A2 (PGA2) induced growth arrest.

Cetus Corporation

By the late-1970s, however, three new revolutionary techniques had been developed: recombinant DNA, monoclonal antibodies, and gene expression, the foundations of the biotechnology industry.

CXXC1

Proteins that contain a CXXC motif within their DNA-binding domain, such as CXXC1, recognize CpG sequences and regulate gene expression.

DNASTAR

The latest version of ArrayStar, version 5.0, which was released in 2011, also includes an optional module, QSeq, to allow scientists to visualize and analyze RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq data using the same tools as are used for microarray gene expression.

Enhanceosome

The assembled enhanceosome recruits transcriptional machinery such as RNA polymerase to the promoter region to initiate gene expression.

Latexin family

Latexin, a protein possessing inhibitory activity against rat carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) and CPA2 (MEROPS peptidase family M14A), is expressed in a neuronal subset in the cerebral cortex and cells in other neural and non-neural tissues of rat.

Natural killer T cell

Natural Killer T cells can share other features with NK cells as well, such as CD16 and CD56 expression and granzyme production.

Pallister–Hall syndrome

The GLI3 gene provides instructions for making a protein that controls gene expression, which is a process that regulates whether genes are turned on or off in particular cells.

Significance analysis of microarrays

Significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) is a statistical technique, established in 2001 by Virginia Tusher, Robert Tibshirani and Gilbert Chu, for determining whether changes in gene expression are statistically significant.
