Post transcriptional gene control III - Gene-specific mRNA regulation

3 important questions on Post transcriptional gene control III - Gene-specific mRNA regulation

What is gene-specific mRNA regulation?

Ion transport and storage, reglation of the translational activity and degradation of mRNA in a gene-specific manner

Gene specific mRNA regulation: Ferritin

High iron: Ferritin needed
low iron: translation blocked, Ferritin reduces

Gene specific mRNA regulation: Transferrin receptor (TFR)

High iron: TFR not needed, degraded mononucleotides
low iron: TFR needed, active IRE-BP (iron-responsive element binding protein) interfere with AU rich elements

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
