Bacterial Genetics and Genomics book Discussion Topic: Chapter 5, question 13 The regulation of gene expression means that genes are not ‘on’ all of the time, being transcribed and translated to make protein. The orchestration of gene expression is essential to the processes of the bacterial cell and can involve a number of mechanisms. OftenContinue reading “Regulation of a transcriptional regulator via read-through transcription of an upstream operon.”

Bacteria breaking the rules – again. This time, its coupled transcription – translation.
Bacterial Genetics and Genomics book Discussion Topic: Chapter 2, question 14 It has long been a defining difference that bacterial cells, like E. coli, have coupled transcription-translation and eukaryotic cells, like animals and plants, make their mRNA in the nucleus and their proteins in the cytoplasm. This is mostly the case. Mammals did break theContinue reading “Bacteria breaking the rules – again. This time, its coupled transcription – translation.”
