00:01 Ok. Yeah. Yeah. testing. Testing, testing carry

00:18 Hey folks. Um we are going finish up um unit three today and

00:32 you look on canvas, uh the four stuff is all up. Everything

00:36 need. Unit four is up So we'll start on that next week

00:42 um uh that screen looks weird. uh let's see here. Um So

00:50 we've got a so uni quiz opens . Uh Nope, not that

01:00 lights, lights. Um There is uh smart work do on Monday um

01:13 this week. Ok. Ok. , there we go. Ok.

01:24 Let's see what else? So smart do on Monday, the schedulers

01:29 So remember the exams uh next And um so as always make sure

01:35 stick to that damn review sheet, ? Because we didn't cover any of

01:40 in their entire entirety chapters, So make sure you stick to

01:46 And uh so remember the quiz that's be uh you know, covering a

01:50 more comprehensive. You have like a more time to finish that. It's

01:55 20 I think it's 20 questions. And uh so just remember to do

02:02 uh by Monday. And uh I that's it. OK. So,

02:12 let's see here. OK. All . Um So context here,

02:21 So we are um are talking about gene regulation, right? So,

02:28 the importance of that um that, know, obviously it's one thing to

02:34 proteins, the whole DNA RN A , right? Transcription and translation,

02:40 cetera. Uh But certainly, and, and that uses lots of

02:45 , right? Because you're building basically building a, making a transcript

02:50 putting together nucleotides, right? Um synthesizing a protein is putting together amino

02:57 , these are all anabolic process processes energy, right? So you don't

03:03 to be doing these functions just willy . Um because you're just gonna be

03:08 energy, right? So, gene , especially in new carriers is a

03:14 , big deal, right? Um we're more complicated, we have,

03:21 know, think of, think of happens as you go from the zygote

03:27 right before you pop out of the , right? All the changes that

03:31 , you know, those are all all have to happen in the sequence

03:35 to develop into a fully formed right? So, of course,

03:40 gonna be T control. OK. as it is in any living

03:45 OK? So it's a big And um and so obviously, if

03:51 we go from DNA to protein, ? If that's where you're gonna control

03:56 , right? You're gonna control control at different levels. Um

03:59 and either to increase or decrease it shut it off completely. OK.

04:06 uh so the, and so here's of the, the levels,

04:10 And I posted the slide on It was, I just kind of

04:15 little more, maybe a little more different way to look at it.

04:18 But these terms we look at and look at things other than lack

04:24 We started the trip OPERON. So look at other things that fit into

04:27 of these other categories. So we the top uh DNA, the transcription

04:33 the RN A ply. All So remember in transcriptional control, you

04:38 formed the transcript yet, right? the question is, are you gonna

04:43 that or are you not? That's what transcriptional control is. So

04:46 affecting the RN A ply. Signal factors can also be affected

04:51 And we'll see an example of, , of that today, although uh

04:56 doesn't fall into actually the transcriptional but we don't also, we don't

05:01 into all the examples your book gives . So there are some examples where

05:04 does fit there. Um But basically dealing with the promoter operator when you're

05:10 with uh transcriptional control. OK. Post transcription was kind of a more

05:15 term that actually covers all three of . So if two junior regulation,

05:22 have two gene regulation, guys are to each other. Oh yeah,

05:26 working on this posttranscriptional mechanism of control specifically it's you know, related to

05:33 or, or instability or posttranslational. just kind of a more of an

05:40 term if you will uh these are more specific terms that fall under

05:44 OK. And so we looked at lactose opera. OK. It was

05:50 first example. So uh remember uh that um the control, OK.

05:59 um one level right is the is repressor operator, right? Having

06:06 active uh repressor in the absence of , it'll bind blocking expression uh in

06:14 presence of lactose, you form allo , which is the inducer that binds

06:19 repressor in activating it alleviating the the on transcription. So you get expression

06:26 that scenario. But remember the effect glucose exerts on the whole thing,

06:32 ? So glucose is present in addition lactose glucose overrules through affecting cyclic A

06:40 levels. OK? Because that will OPERON also needs that activator complex which

06:47 a combination of cyclic A MP and receptor protein for it. And so

06:52 go to the promoter and increase And that's and that's is influenced by

06:57 glu glucose presence, absence of OK? I also remember that glucose

07:03 uh the presence of glucose blocks the of lactose, right? So it's

07:09 it's a uh it has that's what call it. The tite repression,

07:14 ? Glucose is blocking these, the of these other types of catabolite.

07:19 what lactose is. OK. Um questions about that? So, like

07:25 said, look at the animations, think that helps. OK. Um

07:31 as we go into the Tripen O which we started at the end,

07:34 time, you're gonna wanna make sure got, you know, this black

07:39 straight because you're gonna have to be to compare the two. OK.

07:44 um so we ended here, we at the kind of the basic uh

07:51 and what you're seeing here um or you're about to see and what we

07:56 about that at the end last time relation to the Tryptophan opera that control

08:02 takes care of most of the um repression of the Opon, right?

08:14 there's an additional like we had an layer with Glu uh the Black Opera

08:19 the glucose effect. We have also , another layer to try thehan

08:24 And that's that, that's that attenuation . OK. So that one can

08:28 a little bit complicated. So we'll through it um bit by bit.

08:34 first, so first and fore remember hip opera, lactose opera two

08:42 different in terms of uh of their of metabolism, right? So,

08:48 Operon is about metabolism that's bringing lactose break it down. All right,

08:53 into glycolysis. So we can make , right? Tryptophan Operon is the

08:58 . It's an OPERON set up to synthesize tryptophan. OK? So we're

09:03 tryptophan, we're not eating it through opera. OK? Um So we

09:09 the same, you know, remember operon structure, right? The regulatory

09:14 . So we have a promoter, ? Regulatory protein and promoter operator

09:19 right? And so they code for um the uh transcript obviously and then

09:29 enzymes that um set the size OK. I'm starting with this uh

09:35 material, five different enzymes. We tryptophan. OK. And so it's

09:41 uh a repressor as well. And so tryptophan and the repressor work

09:48 . OK. So tryptophan is kind self regulating. OK? We have

09:53 inactive form where tryptophan is not bound tryptophan is the corepressor. OK?

09:59 involved in its own regulation, So if we have little or no

10:05 fan present, then it's gonna be inactive form and we get expression.

10:09 remember crypto fan is gonna be use it to make proteins. So

10:16 it sells in a high demand, protein, higher protein synthesis producing

10:23 which it would be if it was quickly, right? Rapid growth,

10:27 when cells divide rapidly, gotta make of proteins to keep that sustain that

10:32 of growth. OK? And so is one of 20 amino acids guaranteed

10:38 there's gonna be at least one tryptophan , in every protein. OK.

10:42 it's essential to keep this being expressed you have a high demand for

10:46 right? This stuff is going, away. So it during that period

10:53 rapid growth, if you are able , if you measured the levels of

10:58 crypto fan, it'd be very low it's being used as fast as it

11:03 made. OK? Um But we know our growth curve will eventually flatten

11:11 , right, become limited. And this tryptophan would not be being used

11:16 fast as being made, right? it accumulates. So now it's free

11:22 bind the repressor, right? And we activate the repressor now because you

11:28 need, if it's crypt thehan is , it means it's not being

11:32 So don't make it, you're wasting , right? So crypto family bind

11:36 pressure, activate it and will block . OK? So this control,

11:44 see that takes care of, I'm gonna put a number on it,

11:48 it takes care of most, let's 99% of the control the chip opera

11:53 is through this. OK? But . So before we go on uh

11:59 questions about it, OK. So again, it's, it's,

12:04 similar to LAC Operon, it's about and inactivating a repressor, right?

12:09 the conditions are different, right? The the presence of lactose,

12:16 which then goes to all of lactose binds to repressor um inactivating.

12:22 Here, cry to fan the corepressor to the repressor activated, right?

12:29 . But it's it and it goes really the the type of metabolism we're

12:34 about. So crypto fan, that's critical pathway, right? You can

12:39 coli can live without Black Opera. ? It couldn't even have enough.

12:50 pretty sure E coli can find other . OK? Um But it can't

12:56 without making proteins. OK. So of the logic here if you will

13:02 that's kind of what the end product things, right? So that can

13:06 kind of a gauge in the cell OK. Are we having rapid

13:11 Do we need lots of this amino or do we not need that?

13:15 so kind of like the control? that makes sense if it's a very

13:19 pathway type process. OK. Um I, I think all the other

13:26 meal acids are controlled the same OK. So um now the uh

13:35 we should be present, as I , it would accumulate, there wasn't

13:38 demand. So growth was stopping. was it, it didn't uh it

13:43 need that level of protein synthesis. it would build up and then then

13:47 itself off. OK. So So here is a comparison.

13:56 So we have E Coli uh which the lac operon and the TRIPP

14:02 right? Is grown in minimal minimum . I don't remember what that

14:08 So we've added uh both lactose and to the medium, no glucose is

14:17 . OK. So what can you with respect to the lack and Trip

14:22 . Yeah. So uh black opera the opera expressed in black opera.

14:29 or no, like upper on Hope that's the H VAC system but

14:41 uh in varies from Mars. Um . So Black Op One is

14:46 Yes. OK. Because, We got the conditions right. No

14:53 . All right. And lactose is . OK. Um Trip Operon.

14:59 or no. No. Because um being supplied to the fan,

15:08 And it's, it's going to bind the repressor and then what's not bound

15:15 repressor elite right there? No need make it. You're, you're,

15:19 being bathed in tryptophan. Why make ? All right. Uh Oops jump

15:24 gun. OK. Um OK. Operon, what's the state of the

15:29 ? So it's inactive, right? lactose operon? Because uh lactose is

15:34 forming L lactose binds the repressor and it, right? And in the

15:39 upon it is of course active. ? Because if the fans present

15:45 we're, we're handing it to we're dumping into the medium. So

15:49 there and it's um it's uh binding the professor activating it and but then

15:58 the rest of it for its own . OK? And so cyclic E

16:02 levels, they have no, no A on like like a P levels

16:13 be high or low should be high I remember no glucose is present,

16:20 ? So it should be hot. get the complex forms and you get

16:24 of transcription, et cetera. So um OK. So let's look

16:33 this. All right. So we went through this, right? So

16:36 I said, this kind of right, involving repressor, right,

16:43 uh levels of tryptophan determine whether you expression or not, right? That

16:49 care of the majority of the But you still can have a scenario

16:56 even though binding, right, remember bindings here, whether it's really whatever

17:05 uh nucleic acid or protein protein, always a binding constant, right?

17:10 bindings usually are not irreversible, they reversible to a certain degree. It

17:18 OK. The point is this this protein, active repressor protein when it's

17:24 , it's not there 100% of the there is a small portion where it's

17:29 , right? And so when that happen, even in the repressed

17:36 right, as shown here, um uh let me erase this. So

17:43 as in the repressed straight, you here, OK? Well, in

17:47 state, OK, you can get little bit of expression when that thing

17:53 off. Now put a clamp on . All right, to really say

17:59 , even when it's that 0.01% of time when it's not bound and it

18:05 off, I still wanna be able control it. OK? That's where

18:10 leader sequence comes in, right? the box, so every time a

18:14 is made for this opera. That part, right? That boxed in

18:20 , that's that leader sequence. There's a part of the transcript.

18:24 And so it also serves as as another control, secondary control.

18:30 ? And that's what we're gonna, what the attenuation mechanism is all

18:33 Right. So we're gonna get into here in right now. And so

18:37 it is, it's, um, a transcriptional control because we are affecting

18:45 or not RN A Pyra can transcribe trip opera. OK? It's just

18:53 controlling it is a ribosome. The is actually controlling it, right?

18:58 it looks, it's gonna look kind weird, but ultimately, it is

19:02 transcriptional control. It's just a ribosome kind of controlling it. OK?

19:07 Brook calls it a sensor. So, OK. So number

19:12 remember that when a transcript is the leader sequence is always a part

19:17 it right up front. OK. is that the leader sequence uh does

19:24 make any kind of usable protein, ? It's simply only there as a

19:32 process. OK. Um The other is to note location, right?

19:40 trip L is a leader sequence and here, this junction, that's where

19:45 structural genes begin, actually goes It's not ABC de, it's E

19:53 B A in that order. And so this is really the critical

19:58 . So if Arne Pli is sitting , it started here, right?

20:03 it goes the point of no return right there. Right? It's right

20:11 , where it gets to the structural . So this, this um mechanism

20:17 all about, OK? Is that is gonna be able to go into

20:22 structural genes? Right? Will it there or will it stop?

20:26 And that's the, that's really the of the whole thing, right?

20:29 either allowing it to keep going or knock it off. That is what

20:35 is. OK? So now it's . So then the question is,

20:40 , what's, what's causing that whether not gets knocked off or keeps

20:43 Right. So, so kind of backwards, then it's um about the

20:52 from this leader sequence. OK. And so the transcript that's made um

21:02 has secondary structures from RNAs molecules have structure or moves and, and

21:08 OK. It's all a UGC OK. And so this RN a

21:14 sequence can form these two loops actually . Um They can also form a

21:22 , it's re loop. OK. so 1234 are the regions where there's

21:28 where they can complement your base. . So the 23 can also form

21:33 the 23 is actually the and uh writing. Hold on. Yeah.

21:45 . OK. Um So we call the anti attend you later. That's

21:56 , that's the 2323 loop is the attenuator. The attenuator loop is

22:03 So, remember attenuate means to limit to stop. OK. So the

22:09 thing to note here is this junction , here's our junction here.

22:18 Between where the structural genes start. note distance here, a tener loop

22:26 distance here. OK. What's closer itinerary loop, closer proximity to that

22:36 , the anti itinerary loop farther OK. There again is how this

22:42 . This loop here physically locks off polymerase can't go beyond structural when it

22:51 , that structural gene starts like right? The anti tenure loop is

22:57 away. So it can't physically interact polymerase. It keeps built.

23:03 So that's those two loops, which forms? It is what controls whether

23:10 ray keeps going or it gets knocked . OK. So go back another

23:15 or how does one loop form versus other? OK. Well, remember

23:20 a transcript and ribosomes bind the right? They bind and start

23:27 OK. So um so it's about the ribosome starts, uh stops or

23:35 , right? Determines which loop forms tenuity or attenuated, right?

23:44 because the secondary structure loops forming, are influenced by a big fat ribosome

23:51 on the transcript and either allowing some to form and not others,

23:58 So it's about where is the ribosome ? Stopping at? OK. Determines

24:03 loop forms. OK. OK. what, what determines where the ribosome

24:08 ? Well, these things OK. . So remember in the ribosome,

24:17 , it, it parks itself on transcript and you're gonna have coons,

24:21 ? So Trnas recognize coons to anti , right? And so you have

24:29 types where you can have one that's that contains a tryptophan and one that

24:35 it. Ok. So they both the same, right? Anticodon,

24:42 ? AC C AC C. So recognize those Tripp codons, right?

24:48 one is carrying an amino acid, tryptophan, the other one is

24:53 So then what under what scenario would have uncharged? Trn A? If

25:01 C is like starving for tryptophan? ? The so doesn't have any tryptophan

25:06 not, not a lot of then it can't make a charge to

25:09 A. Ok. And so that's of how tryptophan levels influence the levels

25:19 charged trn A. Ok. Higher , so low levels, mostly uncharged

25:26 pr news. OK. Lots of around lots of charged trn A.

25:33 . So what happens is when an trn A plops itself down uh uh

25:38 on the codon? Remember? So when, when you have Trnas,

25:44 ? You link up the amino right? The chain growth that

25:50 So if you have a uh trn sitting there that's not charged, there's

25:55 to, to hook, hook onto , to hook on to the growing

25:59 , right? So it stops, sits there, right? And so

26:04 what determines whether you form which loop . If you have lots of,

26:08 of uh tryptophan, lots of charged and here it comes, here comes

26:13 trip code on bam, bam. come in, you connect and you

26:18 , right. So there's no Right. Keeps going. So that's

26:22 you have, I'm kind of taking from the end to the beginning.

26:26 why you have, um, that's it affects the location where these coons

26:34 at. Right. So here are two adjacent trip coons, right?

26:39 here's a stop Codon, right? what we call the usual, the

26:44 endpoint, right? Of a transcript to stop code, right? And

26:49 it's got that, of course, the what kind of influences whatever it

26:53 stop before then are those two trip ? OK. So if a ribosome

27:00 there and there's not a lot of trip Trnas, then it's gonna

27:05 OK. And then that means the loop forms, I'm sorry,

27:12 So let, let's let's look let's go through this again.

27:16 But um so it's, again, about the positioning of the RS which

27:22 , what influences where the ribosome stalls stops is the levels of trn a

27:27 tryptophan because that influences the levels of tras to charge tr A Yeah,

27:38 are you with me, you kind of convoluted but, and I

27:41 of it, I'm kind of taking from the end the other way,

27:46 think, I think makes sense. . Um So it's all about positioning

27:51 and stopping this prelimerase before it gets that new structural genes, right?

27:58 let's look at um here. So high crypto levels, right? So

28:03 this, if you like in the , right, we had e coli

28:07 , we've added tryptophan to it. . So this would be what,

28:10 happening, what's happening here. So have lots of these, right,

28:16 of these uh in that scenario. so as the ribosome binds and begins

28:22 translate, it's gonna blow right through trip code out. There's no stalling

28:30 right through and it goes to the stop point, which is the

28:34 stop code on. OK. And can see how it's overlapping right here

28:41 area one, here's area two, ? So it's got that covered

28:45 right? And so three and four form quite easily. OK? And

28:50 note the distance right here to OK? And so, and

28:56 here's, here's that junction, We gotta stop it before it gets

29:01 the purple structural genes. So, that's how it it, so it

29:05 interacts with it, right? And knocks it off. OK. So

29:11 prevent transcription, which is what you , right? You got, you

29:14 lots of crypt thehan, you don't to make it. But again,

29:19 first mechanism we looked at right, repressor, corepressor thing that's gonna take

29:23 of most of this control, but do have this as well as the

29:27 like let's put a stop to OK? Um Now in the Loreen

29:36 , so it's starving for these amino . Then you're gonna have mostly these

29:42 ? Forms of tr A OK? amino acid attached to them.

29:46 So in that scenario, then it's stall at those adjacent trip codons right

29:52 because here's the regular stop code on . It, well, before

29:58 OK. So you see that now , the two, it's, it's

30:03 really the, the, the front of this transcript here, right?

30:07 the two, it's free, you buy. So 23 forms. So

30:13 , if you had and, and , and which loop forms is really

30:17 thermodynamics. OK? If you were take this, this transcript, that

30:24 sequence and plop it into a, buffer solution, what you mostly see

30:29 23 loops. It's, it's, thermo dynamically favored likely because there's

30:35 there's more A T eight, I'm . A Uau only two hydrogen bonds

30:40 GC three, right? So it less energy to form, form the

30:44 loop, right? So if it's free in solution without a L,

30:48 23 loop form, but what's preventing is the ribosome positioning. OK.

30:54 um the um so again, because , it stalled here, the two

31:01 is free to do its bank. the 23 forms and just looking

31:06 all right distance, right, much away. Can't interfere with it,

31:11 ? So it keeps, it keeps , keeps transcribed, which is what

31:15 wanted to do. Right. Lowry fan, you want to keep

31:18 OK, to get transcription. uh, let's see before you answer

31:25 question. Well, let's do this quick. All right. Um And

31:30 , you have access to this and the beginning part of this is what

31:36 seen already right? There is the , the whole thing. Um And

31:41 we have an active repressor binding and get transcription and that ha happens when

31:47 fan binds to the repressor, Corepressor repressor complex. OK. Um

31:55 this up a little bit. So goes away, uh repressor is now

32:01 and you get uh expression, expression right there. And so it

32:09 kind of just go up here uh , there, there we go Indian

32:16 . Yeah. So let's look at attenuation mechanism up here. OK.

32:26 back, a bit back, a back of it. Come on.

32:37 . So it do its thing. . Uh So you see the structural

32:43 don't start until a ways down to right. OK. So there's a

32:48 sequence and come on. There we . So we get transcription. So

32:56 that's always gonna be, you're always transcribe that. OK? And there's

33:00 leader, you get your four right? 23 anti attenuator, uh

33:11 and like that. So one and conform, you know, again,

33:15 that really doesn't um in uh because ribosome covering it. So, um

33:26 in the, what are they what are they gonna do first?

33:31 , in the presence of lots of , then you would get the,

33:40 thing is so slow. Let's keep here. OK? Because this guy

33:45 talking over this time. All 40 me for me, peptide Dr

33:52 , right? And so in high levels, you are going to have

33:58 of charges. Trip Trnas. All . And come on ribosome. There

34:05 go. So here comes the ribosome , boom. It's gonna go right

34:10 onto this regular stop code on in and that a tar loop forms and

34:18 is very close to the prelimerase and it off. Then in the next

34:27 , low trip the fan it of will stop. OK. Right

34:36 So the tooth really forms and it's away from the lime race. It

34:40 continue going Jack. Um All So let's uh look at this

34:52 OK. So the attenuation mechanism that block expression of the chip opera would

35:02 all of these except so what is exception that so blocking expression and don't

35:22 e there is an exception. So gonna be ABC or D OK.

35:51 . OK. Cutting down from OK. 210. And the answer

36:12 you, you picked, wait, picked my favorite question? Who picked

36:19 B? Who picked B well, know, you know the answer.

36:23 , who, who picked b, picked b, anybody else? Anybody

36:28 the back row? Yes. Why it? B, yeah, middle

36:35 without looking at your computer. that, mm. Right.

36:53 Yeah. So you're gonna have of course, because A, is

36:56 , is a function all the You're always going to get the MRN

37:00 of the leader sequence. Whether you the fan that's going to happen.

37:06 Again, repressed state, the levels leader transcript you form will not be

37:14 lot because it's mostly bound. But can, there's times when a little

37:18 of time that comes off, you a little bit OK? But a

37:21 happen at a, at some OK? Uh In every scenario,

37:27 formation of a tener loop, of , itinerary loop is what form,

37:30 the whole thing about blocking expression, form C OK? And of

37:35 uh C happens because of the, get lots of crypto fan, you

37:39 lots of charge trn a crypt thehan um you then will stall at the

37:46 code on. OK? And that's will form cause the 34 to,

37:51 form this one, right? I mean that is the exception,

37:55 ? But remember it's, it's, gonna start the, if we're shutting

37:59 down completely with the leader sequence, gonna want um that's gonna happen in

38:06 Hypopen which leads to lots of trip which means you're gonna blow through the

38:12 codons, they're gonna stop at the coon still the stock code on.

38:16 . So, uh to make, make b correct in this context,

38:22 would say the RS are installed at stocks that would make it correct.

38:27 it's not as written, it's not in this scenario, right? Um

38:33 questions about that. So, you , I it's a, with this

38:39 , Uh there's different ways you can about it. I find it helpful

38:43 go from the end back the other . But um look at the

38:48 OK. So it's all about in a nutshell. It's all about

38:53 allowing that ribosome to keep going and express and transcribe structural genes or

38:59 . So either knock it off or it keep going, right? So

39:13 of, I don't know, uh of it as a story, think

39:17 it as a story, right? um that might be a way to

39:21 you remember it. OK. Um you look at the animation, I

39:26 it helps. OK? And you turn on the closed caption, you

39:30 the whole nine yards or just rewatched lecture video. OK. So

39:38 121, no, because the rival should be sitting on top of one

39:47 . Yeah, because one, that , I don't think foreign because r

39:51 basically sitting on top of it for most part. And So it's not

39:56 , you gonna be 23 or 34 most part. Yeah. You,

39:59 one of those two? Oh, forgot I had another question. So

40:02 quick here. So um OK. low versus high trip levels inside the

40:09 . OK. Uh low in intercellular . So, synthesizing tryptophan that will

40:16 under lower high. Yes. OK. Uh transcribe operon uh lower

40:28 . High levels. Yes. OK. Um The trip repressor corepressor

40:37 form low levels. No, high . Yes. Right. Um Charge

40:45 trn A is plentiful. Uh low area levels. No, I,

40:52 course, it's present you can make . We do sequence calls at trip

40:58 stop codes. OK. Um Which leader sequence forms low interest size or

41:07 interest size. So the low level gonna be the 23, right?

41:12 23, high level 34. And obviously these lines would be present.

41:19 I mean, you know, it seems like I'm spending a lot

41:22 time on this. There's maybe like , a couple of questions on the

41:26 that will relate to this. um anyway, do you have any

41:31 ? Right. Right. OK. right. So let's look at something

41:39 . Well, I'm still going on this. That's uh let's uh just

41:43 going here unless anybody has any OK. So let's look at these

41:47 mechanisms. Let's get out of lack trip OPERON for God's sakes.

41:53 So uh stringent response phase variation, factor control, regulatory RN A.

41:59 in your book, goes into a more examples of different types. I

42:03 picked like a few just to give a little sampling. OK. So

42:07 stringent response, OK. So this also a I call a transcriptional control

42:16 you are affecting the transcription of in case, ribosome RN A genes,

42:24 ? So this happens when typically when cell is starving, OK? And

42:29 you're starving, as we just saw tropine uh mechanism, uh the levels

42:35 , of charged Trnas uh are right? So if you're starving,

42:41 it's starving, bacteria is starving, that can happen where you don't have

42:44 charged Trnas for their respective um amino . And so that will cause it

42:50 stall as we saw how that happened the attenuation makers. OK. So

42:55 that kind of scenario, OK, um which can happen, of

43:01 when you know, you're, the are growing, right? And you

43:04 that stationary phase, right? You become limited, right? For

43:09 And that's of course, as a point for the cell as well,

43:14 ? So then it becomes AAA mode OK, let's conserve energy.

43:19 you know, we gotta, we keep, we're not growing like

43:22 So we don't need to keep synthesizing like we did before. So let's

43:25 it down, right? Kind of into survival mode and the way to

43:29 that is to, is to initiate activity that's associated with the ribosome.

43:35 this what's called El Rel um right. So it's a pro that

43:40 of hangs, hangs out with the . And when this scenario occurs where

43:45 kind of starvation and these, and um uncharged pr Nas begin to plop

43:51 in and arrives on stones. That's of what induces this whole process.

43:55 so this enzyme basically takes phosphate from TP and hooks it on the GTP

44:02 make this guanosine tetraphosphate. It's like little si signaling molecule. OK.

44:08 uh what it does it interacts with or Plimer specifically the beta subunit.

44:15 ply has beta and alpha units that to create the transcription and that will

44:21 alter their ability to really for the the um promoters that, that are

44:28 for transcription of ribosome RN A, . So these, these are the

44:32 of gene that the end product is a protein but is the RN A

44:38 . So, of course, the are made of RN A molecules and

44:41 , right? So if you're not the ribosome RNAs or expressing them,

44:45 not gonna make protein uh ribosomes, ? Which is what you want to

44:49 . If you're not, if you're really wanting to express the synthesized

44:54 then get rid of ribosomes. That's of what's happening here again, all

44:59 the effort to, to to uh really a stress situation, like

45:04 got to conserve energy, you you keep synthesizing proteins at the same

45:09 . So let's, let's inhibit um A uh primos RN A expression.

45:16 ? Because again, it's an anabolic for making primos RNAs, you're the

45:21 nucleotide that's using energy. So let's do that. OK? Um As

45:26 as let's by doing that, then default, you're lowering proteins as

45:30 which is energy consuming. OK. it's really about survival here.

45:35 Um So, because we are manipulating polymerase and affecting transcription, right?

45:42 call it a uh transcriptional control OK? For affecting the ability to

45:50 to transcribe. OK. So uh one here is way different. It

45:57 uh DNA. So now we're basically at the top level of control.

46:02 affecting your DNA. OK. So is something we see in a lot

46:08 pathogens. We'll bring, we'll mention again in chapter 26 or chapter 25

46:16 in the context of microbial pathogenesis, ? This is a way for cells

46:22 can do this to hide from your system. That's what um immune avoidance

46:28 to. OK. Is hiding from immune system. OK. And so

46:33 this occurs with virulent genes in these that have multiple forms. OK.

46:43 It could be like uh with a , you have, you can have

46:48 constituents of a capsule and express different at different times with the flagellum.

46:53 remember it's that flagellum protein, You hook together to make a flagellum

46:59 you can have different variations of that amino ao sequences for those flagellum,

47:05 ? And you know, it could capsule could be fibri, it could

47:09 a uh a flagellum. Uh there's antigens that can change. OK.

47:15 so uh so, so why do ? Well? OK. So the

47:19 here is salmonella is a foodborne Um So it, it's mo through

47:26 . So remember in terms of the system, the things on the periphery

47:31 the pathogen, it's virus, protozoan and what have you the stuff

47:36 the outside surface proteins? A A S layer, gram negative uh a

47:44 of flagellum. These are all things the periphery. That's what your immune

47:48 cells look for because you can, can recognize them as an OK.

47:54 then we'll learn about this party next , but an antigen antibody interaction brings

48:00 lots of different effects. OK. um so the pathogens have evolved ways

48:10 get around that. OK. And of the major ways is to temporarily

48:16 their antigen profile if you will, ? Because doing so makes them

48:22 OK. Your immune system cells don't it. So it's all, it's

48:26 based on these things aren't permanent, all about time, right? You

48:31 , knowing how fast bacteria grow. they can buy some time, then

48:35 can rapidly grow and, and you , obviously cause serious infection. So

48:42 you, your body does the same in terms of buying time,

48:45 You get a fever that, that the growth of pathogens and so it

48:50 you time for your immune system to up, right? So it works

48:54 ways. Ok. So um so this works is like this,

48:59 So we have two forms of these proteins, two H one H

49:04 OK. So a A cells flagellum , the salmonella, its flagellum is

49:12 be made up of one of these . You do the H one form

49:15 the H two. OK. So this scenario, it's using the age

49:21 , OK? And so the two that control it B and C

49:27 Um So promoter, so keep your on that, right? The promoter

49:33 the whole thing. OK. Um in this scenario, we're expressing the

49:40 two flagellum because we're expressing this B along with part of the transcript and

49:46 is this repressor protein. OK. it is what binds and blocks expression

49:53 that second um flagellum protein, So this particular um salmonella is only

50:02 the H two flagella, right? the other one. OK. Now

50:07 happens? And this is kind of spontaneous event. I'm not sure what

50:12 rate is. Something like maybe once 10 of the 4, 10 of

50:16 six uh frequency, it will OK. So the recombining section is

50:22 green, right? And it contains promoter, right? That's the

50:30 it contains the promoter as part of section of DNA that we combine.

50:36 . So what happens is um the these hin genes synthesize a um

50:46 and then synthesize a protein that's that combine. So we call it Recombinate

50:50 scissors to cut it, cut it invert it. So sequence basically here

50:55 being rearranged, right? It gets out and then inverted. So you

51:00 see right here how it's flicked. so the promoter is right there.

51:07 so it is now um no longer in front of here because this is

51:15 codes for the age two, And for the repressor, OK,

51:24 two genes, OK. So that no longer expressed because the promoter which

51:29 in front of it has been went with the segment that we combined.

51:34 so now it's sitting over here facing that direction. OK. So you're

51:39 gonna express those two genes. And now the repressions alleviated here and we

51:46 make the H one, right? successive generations of this salmonella, the

51:51 rights will have the H one right? So, you know,

51:56 , it came in with an H , you know, and divided and

52:00 and made H two of Jones. then this event occurs to change the

52:05 C uh arrangement. And so then generations are now make the H one

52:11 one F OK. And so uh is just showing you kind of a

52:15 up of it, same thing, ? So here again, you see

52:18 uh this right here, right? the promoter for the two genes um

52:25 the H two form, repressor, expression of the C form.

52:31 And we get the spontaneous read. right. OK. And then here

52:38 , here we are over here facing direction. We're not gonna get expression

52:43 that. OK. And so so the strategy, all right.

52:48 let's look at this question. All . So the strategy here,

52:52 Um The ah here here, hold the uh so we have, so

53:00 have, I have to shout while change my batteries. Um um So

53:07 have in this question, the infecting have are, are that population 1

53:15 1 H one H two flagella as , will that strategy work when affecting

53:23 human? And by working, think terms of is it best for it

53:31 salmonella to do this in terms of this human and being successful is just

53:37 best way to do it? Answer is uh yes or no.

53:43 . How is that uh test Hm. There we go.

53:54 So one more time. So this population, it's affecting our

54:04 OK. Half have H one half have H two. Is that

54:10 way to do it or is there better way and better? I

54:13 in terms of the salmonella? So , you're trying to be a,

54:16 , an inf affecting salmonella that will success? Ok. Good to be

54:24 . So see what we get. . So if you answered uh who

54:43 BB as in boy, B as boy, B as in boy,

54:49 , 200 or something that we Anybody, anybody brave enough, I'll

54:54 you an A for the day. you, that's up anybody. Not

54:59 again, anybody come on don't be anybody, anybody, anybody.

55:09 Why? Mm Right. So it's like uh playing poker, right?

55:26 you're basically playing poker by showing your to everybody. OK? You're not

55:31 them right? Close to the chest , right? You're showing, showing

55:35 what you got already, right? of course everybody's gonna fold,

55:39 They're not gonna, you have like aces, right? And you show

55:43 that you go. Oh well, out, right? You're not gonna

55:45 any money, right? Not So essentially that's what's happening here.

55:50 only, these are the only two of the engine, then the body

55:53 seeing everything, right? And so system cells are primed and ready.

55:58 don't recommend, you know, even it does change, if these guys

56:03 to A, to an H two these guys flip to an H one

56:09 matter. So it's already the body's seen it, right? So best

56:13 go in with mostly one engine then when you, when it flips

56:18 body is like, your body will to, there'll be a delay before

56:21 body can see it and catch And that's when pathogen can grow rather

56:26 . Ok. So that's, that's best way if you wanna be the

56:31 from the pathogen perspective. Ok. And Niia which is causes meningitis and

56:38 diseases is very famous for doing this it can, it can have more

56:42 two engines and like maybe 345 or engines and flip from one to the

56:47 . OK. Um Any questions about ? Yeah. All right. Uh

56:53 factor regulation. So this uh your book has probably about five or

56:58 examples of this. This, this is, is, is not,

57:04 not a transcriptional control, it's actually a little different. OK. And

57:09 we look at the this this heat or we call so in in response

57:15 high temp, OK, like E and other types um being a

57:23 right? They grow at 37 or . Um elevating temperature of course,

57:29 proteins, nucleic acids, right? temp in nature, proteins unfolding,

57:33 cetera, right? So not So you have to have mechanisms in

57:38 to deal with the stress. And you do, right? And

57:43 genes that are involved in that response turned on by a specific sigma factor

57:50 the heat. Uh it's a heat sigma factor. OK. Sigma

57:55 right. So rpoh is the name the gene that codes for that sigma

57:59 that you see there. OK. what happens is you get transcription?

58:05 and, but it's folded up, ? So you see the the transcript

58:10 folded, it's hiding that um ribosome site. OK. So the transcript

58:15 made uh but it's folded. So , when we're at 30 degrees,

58:23 ? So at 30 C folded OK. Which makes sense because in

58:29 state, you can't translate it. remember these things aren't permanent, it'll

58:34 mostly like in that folded up state 30 degrees where they can, you

58:38 , it can come apart occasionally and it does, you get a little

58:42 of expression. And so to kind take care of that little bit that

58:47 made, right? Because you don't a heat shock Sigma Factory if you're

58:50 , if it's not hot, So you want to minimize the effect

58:54 that. So you have these other here, they're called chaperone proteins.

59:00 DNA JJ R pe DK, And they sort to kind of bind

59:05 it and then, and then signal for degradation, get rid of

59:09 OK? They also have another those those chaperone proteins, they kind

59:15 um are also made during the heat response to bind to proteins that are

59:22 because of the heat. So they to them to kind of keep them

59:27 . OK. So just remember So step one here. So we

59:30 30 degrees don't need heat shock proteins . So we, we produce a

59:35 for the heat shock signal factor that's up like temperature. The temperature is

59:40 keeping it in that form. So only very little of it gets

59:47 in the protein but the the the amount that does gets attacked by so

59:53 speak the chaperone proteins that will lead degradation. Ok. Now, of

59:58 , when it is elevated temperature, ? 42 OK, temperature goes

60:04 then you want the heat shock signal to do its thing. Turn on

60:09 genes that will help the cells right? So you see how the

60:14 elevated temp has straightened out, so speak the the transcript. So it

60:21 of has has melted apart, So now that can be greatly translated

60:26 protein. So you make lots of OK, which will then act on

60:32 , and, and uh promote expression the heat shock genes. So among

60:37 , so this guy doesn't get degraded these chaperone proteins like it did

60:44 right? Because they're busy dealing with the proteins in the cell that

60:49 that are being affected by the high , they're sticking to those guys and

60:53 them folded and keep functional. And so the sigma factor is free

60:58 do its thing, right? Because are, those other guys are,

61:01 occupied doing their doing that function. . Um And so this is um

61:11 let me say, dang it, forgot, I lost my thought.

61:17 Did I? All right? If comes back to me, I'll

61:22 Anyway. Um So this is an of not transcriptional control because we're making

61:27 transcript, right? We're making the , it's rather a condition of,

61:31 we going to allow translation to Right. Uh Are we gonna translate

61:36 thing? Right. And so um , in order to make lots of

61:42 ? OK. So more kind of into the basket of like translational

61:48 OK. Um OK. Uh I remember what it was anyway, so

61:56 questions about that. So it's kind temperature in a way is kind of

62:00 affecting things here. OK. Um RNAs. OK. So these

62:08 of course not just a feature of cars, but of all all life

62:14 in us as well. Certainly our A molecules serving gene control uh as

62:20 control mechanisms. OK. The first these small regulatory RNAs, so that

62:25 gonna talk about these and we're gonna about um what are called antisense

62:31 So these types occur between genes between coding genes. OK? Um The

62:38 type antisense are exist within the it controls, OK. So whatever

62:47 scenario, whichever type it is, more efficient because you're not having to

62:52 and translate to make a regulatory The RN A that is the thing

62:58 causes the effect. So, from standpoint, it's, it's, it's

63:01 more efficient and less energy using. . Um And so this is my

63:10 . So remember the RNAs can fold right in the secondary structure forming what

63:14 call these hairpin loops. OK. this one in particular is one.

63:19 these have these, these regulatory whether it's this type or any

63:26 it's all about homology, complementary base to a target. OK. And

63:31 they do that, they basically block , a ribosome from being able to

63:36 . So it's either that effect or leads to the degradation of the RN

63:40 . So typically, that's what both these types lead to. Whether it's

63:44 the regulatory RN A is, either translation and or degrade it,

63:50 Um And so the staph aureus um it is a pathogen and like many

63:58 , they will have steps to their . Right. First part is about

64:03 to the host and it's about let's divide and proliferate, then maybe it's

64:07 damage. So there is a stepwise and it uses regulatory RNAs to kind

64:12 control the steps. OK. So see the typical effect. So remember

64:19 , all right, that's that shine Barno sequence, right? So here's

64:22 target and this is where the Rhino binds, right. So there's gonna

64:26 homology between. So this is the A three, it's called here is

64:35 guy. So it's homology, So it's complimentary based pairing, it

64:40 on that target and blocks basically right. Ribosome can bind. Uh

64:45 can also lead to degradation. So, um and so this next

64:51 , it really just shows you don't to memorize this. It's just showing

64:54 how it can work, not just block expression to, but to promote

65:00 . So it can act actually depending the type, it can work both

65:03 allow expression or uh blocking thrash. . And so you can see that

65:09 here is A and B in terms translation, inhibit basically what we just

65:13 , right? It binds here, the regulatory RN A, it binds

65:18 the target and no translation. Here a regulatory RN A and this is

65:25 form of the transcript, it's So it can't be translated right?

65:33 the regulatory RN A comes in binds it and now you free that binding

65:40 . So it can be translated. it's working 11 works one way and

65:43 works the other allow block translation or it. OK? And it's all

65:48 about binding and changing the structure, , whether the structure can either be

65:53 that prevents translation or opens it up allows translation or whatever. So here

66:00 promoting degradation or preventing degradation, So we bind there's target binding,

66:08 ? We get degradation here is if and preventing the RN A SRN A

66:15 will degrade the RN A. So preventing the degradation. So,

66:18 just examples of how you know it work both ways and it's all about

66:23 binding to the target, right? allowing the effect or not allowing the

66:31 . Um And you see other examples too, either promoting processing or uh

66:38 of regulatory protein, right? So in this mode here, it we

66:46 active translation uh by binding up the protein here. So we alleviate the

66:56 on translation. Now, the RS binding site is free, we get

67:01 . So again, you don't need memorize each one of these things.

67:04 just makes it just know that it , it works through binding base pairing

67:10 the target. And that binding can lead to the um expression of that

67:17 that gene or blocking work both right? Um So the last one

67:25 is antisense on this. This is be a little bit trippy.

67:29 So um it's very common, especially bacteria. You can see over 1000

67:36 that's basically about a third of e genes are controlled this way. Um

67:41 so, difference from the previous one that those small RNAs, those sequences

67:47 between genes. This guy is right in the middle of the gene it

67:54 . OK. And so uh and , I meant to take this out

68:00 I posted these notes, but just that stop transcription from your notes.

68:06 ? It doesn't do that. the effects of these RNAs are either

68:09 translation or degrade transcript, right? , um all right. So here's

68:16 protein coding gene. OK. So we have a plus the plus minus

68:21 , right? We have plus coding and a minus pi strand.

68:25 So in the plus strand, all , will be the ants rnac,

68:32 ? So right there uh because it's the plus, it in itself is

68:36 plus. OK? And I just in the four base is just a

68:40 of, you know, it's It's about complementary base pairing. All

68:44 . So what happens is um there's four bases of the complementary anti

68:51 OK? So when we express whatever this is coding for, we do

68:57 usual process, right? We're we're gonna copy the template strand,

69:01 minus strand and make a plus right? That's our transcript.

69:06 And that's what we've done, This is our, this is our

69:10 and we're gonna make translate that in protein, right? Whatever it

69:14 whatever this one, this gene OK. Now, if you wanna

69:18 it, OK, what we do we copy that plus antisense gene,

69:26 ? We're gonna copy that strand. ? And of course, when we

69:33 that, we're gonna make a minus , right? And So that minus

69:39 is right here, right? Minus that's gonna be complimentary, right?

69:46 , remember it's G TT A Um Complementary strand will be CAA

69:55 right? And so you will get base pairing there and it'll bind to

70:01 transcript of that gene and only of gene and thereby controlling expression, either

70:08 translation being it being degraded. So that's the thing about these

70:15 it can only control the gene sitting . OK. Um But the net

70:22 is the same as with, with , with all regulatory RNAs bind to

70:28 target block translation or, and, they degraded. OK. All

70:35 Um Any questions about that? So let's look at this question

70:43 Right. Yeah. Damn it, . OK. Uh OK. Which

70:53 not correctly matched, right? This back to type of control. Does

70:58 fit? OK. Mhm Let me here at 10. So remember post

71:50 was kind of an umbrella term. . Um But there is one that's

71:57 not correct at all. So let's . 10. Got number 10.

72:10 . Thank you. Oops, stop at one. Let's see.

72:20 All right. OK. If who answered B as in Buster,

72:31 did you pick B phase variation that ? Mhm Right. So basically phase

72:41 phase ation is at the level of DNA is level of control.

72:46 So, but cation transcriptional, stringent , each shot, posttranscriptional, you

72:53 be further specific and say it's translational it is posttranscriptional. OK. Uh

73:03 sensor is translational also be MRN a , right? It, it degrades

73:08 . OK. So, all right . That's it. See you next

73:13 . Yeah, I'm sorry. Oh . Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

73:31 phase variation is like free transcription. could say that. Yeah. Uh

73:37 ,
