If our genes are so similar, what really makes a eukaryote different from a prokaryote, or a human from E. coli? The answer lies in the difference in gene expression and regulation used.

The genes lacZ, lacY and lacA are transcribed from a single promoter (P) that produces a single mRNA from which the three proteins are translated. The operon is regulated by Lac repressor, the ...

First, pAurora2 releases the blockade of translation of the target gene on the mRNA strand, and second, the system suppresses the expression of a translation repressor.

A high throughput screen of >30,000 diverse repressor domains from across the tree of life identifies repressor domains with unique structures that underpin enhanced epigenetic effector domain ...
