Developmental regulation of trypanosome mitochondrial gene expression.
Mitochondrial respiratory activities in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei are developmentally regulated. The trypanosomes in the mammalian bloodstream derive ATP entirely from glycolysis. The trypanosomes found in the midgut of the insect vector or in culture at 26 degrees C have fully functional mitochondria with cytochrome-mediated respiration. In this paper, we show that the steady s...
متن کاملThe Regulation of Trypanosome Gene Expression by RNA-Binding Proteins
The genome organization of trypanosomes, leishmanias, and related kinetoplastid organisms is highly unusual: Each RNA polymerase II promoter precedes multiple open reading frames, and the primary transcript is cut into individual mRNAs by 59 trans splicing and 39 polyadenylation [1]. Dedicated control of transcription at the level of individual mRNAs is therefore not possible. Nevertheless, mRN...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of globin gene expression.
We have used the globin family of genes in chicken to study developmental regulation of gene expression, both at the level of individual interaction of trans-acting factors with local promoters and enhancers, and at the level of chromatin structure. Regulation of all members of the alpha- and beta-globin clusters is affected by the erythroid regulatory factor GATA-1. Separate mechanisms exist f...
متن کاملRibosomal regulation of mitochondrial gene expression.
Several mitochondrial protein complexes contain subunits encoded in the nucleus as well as those encoded in mitochondria. Despite the essential nature of the few proteins encoded in mitochondria, surprisingly little is known about plant mitochondrial gene expression and its regulation (Millar et al., 2008). It has been proposed that posttranslational regulation plays a major role, including at ...
متن کاملBidirectional regulation of mitochondrial gene expression during developmental neuroplasticity of visual cortex.
The first several months of life are a critical period for neuronal plasticity in the visual cortex, during which anatomical and physiological development depends upon visual experience. Rearing in darkness slows the time course of this critical period, such that at 5 weeks normal cats are more plastic than dark-reared cats, while at 20 weeks dark-reared cats are more plastic. This study report...
