Transcriptional regulation of gene expression

Gene expression in eukaryotic cells is regulated at transcriptional, post transcriptional and translational levels (Tomizawa,  Lekstrom-Himes, and Xanthopoulos 17). Transcriptional control is the primary means of regulating gene expression. Eukaryotic transcriptional control functions at three levels: modulation of the activities of activators and repressors; variations in chromatin structure; and effect of activators and repressors on assembly of initiation complexes (Lodish et al. 368). Regulation of transcription initiation is the most widespread form of gene control in eukaryotes. However, in some cases, transcription may be attenuated and regulated at subsequent steps, such as during or after the transcription process (Cooper ...

Mean Relative Frequency= ∑fM∑f= 143821 = 68.50 (Mathway) Mean of all Data = ∑xn= 1484.921 = 70.710 The two values are different because in the first method, the midpoint of every class produces an average value of that class.

A Reflection on Human Nature

When The New Yorker published Shirley Jackson’s famous story “the Lottery” in 1948, American readers immediately backlashed against the author and the magazine because they found the topic of the story—a mass stoning of a housewife whose name was drawn at random from a lottery—extremely offensive and grotesque.

Vid30 complex participation in the degradation of CDC25 in yeast and their role in Ras/ cAMP/ PKA pathway

Background: Unicellular organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae in its total life cycle is exposed to diverse and changing nutrient conditions. Thus, in order to survive and achieve a competitive advantage, it has adapted itself such that it not only uses the wide range of available nutrient sources but also the sources that are nutrient rich. It mainly uses fructose and glucose by rapidly fermenting to alcohol. In response to these nutrient conditions, the intracellular trafficking transcription and turnover of protein from nutrient transporters (e.g. Hxts) get regulated.

Abstract

An element of bias in any decision making process may be triggered off by various factors. One factor that can have a profound impact is the deeply ingrained value system of the decision taker. A conservative interviewer might find the dress of a lady candidate too ‘loud’ and that may color his decision to select the candidate. Such biases can at best be minimized and cannot be ruled out completely. Decisions are often termed as rational choices (Samuelson & Zeckhauser, 1988). Selecting the best choice highlights the rationality behind the decision making process. One can try to impersonalize the decision ...

Colomina argues that architecture is not just an envelopment of space; an enclosure of space where people get solace from the elements of nature and other forms of physical threat.

Instead, he argues that the interior of an architectural contains hidden mechanisms that may not be overt to the untrained eye. These hidden mechanisms help describe the construction of the interior space of the building (Colomina 233). Based ...
