Introduction to Prokaryotic Gene Expression

Transcription

The process of converting genetic information stored in DNA into functional RNA molecules.

Regulation

The intricate control mechanisms that ensure precise and dynamic gene expression in prokaryotes.

Translation

Transcriptional Regulation Mechanisms

Promoter Binding

Transcription factors binding to specific DNA sequences to initiate or repress gene expression.

Sigma Factors

Specialized proteins that direct RNA polymerase to the appropriate promoter regions.

Attenuation

Premature termination of transcription in response to environmental or cellular signals.
