Regulation of Gene Expression: Operons, Epigenetics, and Transcription Factors

  • We learned about gene expression in biochemistry, which is comprised of transcription and translation, and referred to as the "central dogma" of molecular biology. But how is this process regulated? How does a cell know which genes to express and when? Well it's pretty complicated, but let's just get our feet wet by looking at operons, epigenetics, and transcription factors!

    • @alexdeschipper
      @alexdeschipper 5 років тому +5

      I'm sorry he did give example of genes but it hardly scratched the surface of different regulation of gene expression, where are all the lncRNA, miRNA, siRNA, different histone deacetylases and (de)methylases, cytosine methylases. No mentioning of tissue specific promotors, I don't know it just felt like a lot was missing

    Hey everyone, at 9:34 I drew a methyl group under the word acetylation and an acetyl group under the word methylation, sorry for this ridiculous error! Please correct in your minds. Oh also, I've been informed that at around 1:50, even though the labels have disappeared by that point, I previously marked the mRNA as 5' on the left and 3' on the right, and ribosomes read mRNA molecules 5' to 3', so technically the ribosome should have translated the mRNA left to right. Sorry for that small error as well!

    I'm literally coming here from Khan Academy--thats how high calibre you are of an educator. To be fair, the KA video I didn't like was a one-off, as generally they are pretty good. If anyone is wondering--watch this video by Prof D instead of "Regulation of transcriptions" in the KA MCAT>Biomolecules>Gene Control.

    This is super helpful, but it would be even more helpful if you put in the corner which organisms these concepts apply to, since some of these only happen in bacteria and others in eukaryotes, and still others in both. This is something that confuses me all the time, so if you make more videos along these lines in the future, that would be very informative!

      Yes, this is driving me nuts also. Translation starts from the 5' end with the methyl-G cap, then the mRNA feeds through the ribosome and finally the 3'-poly-A tail end comes out.

    This is not what the literature is saying, there is on going debate in this area of research, how are you able to make a concluding statement like this with such confidence? when there is division between those currently researching in this area? You need to word this video more accurately to reflect the literature more honestly
