  2. Regulation of gene expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_gene_expression

    Gene regulation works using operators and repressors in bacteria. Gene Regulation can be summarized by the response of the respective system: Inducible systems - An inducible system is off unless there is the presence of some molecule (called an inducer) that allows for gene expression. The molecule is said to "induce expression".

  3. Inducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inducer

    Activator binds to an inducer and the complex binds to the activation sequence and activates target gene. [2] Removing the inducer stops transcription. [2] Because a small inducer molecule is required, the increased expression of the target gene is called induction. [2] The lactose operon is one example of an inducible system. [2]

  4. Gene regulatory circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_regulatory_circuit

    Genetic regulatory circuits are analogous in many ways to electronic circuits in how they use signal inputs and outputs to determine gene regulation. [4] [5] Like electronic circuits, their organization determines their efficiency, and this has been demonstrated in circuits working in series to have a greater sensitivity of gene regulation.

    It hunts and feeds through a density-regulated method of predation that is "the regulation of gene expression in response to cell density." [ 32 ] The pilus propelled microorganism moves with the use of both S- and A- (or gliding) motility, which provide transportation across a dynamic range of different surfaces. [ 33 ]

  6. Cis-regulatory element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis-regulatory_element

    Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) or cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) are regions of non-coding DNA which regulate the transcription of neighboring genes.CREs are vital components of genetic regulatory networks, which in turn control morphogenesis, the development of anatomy, and other aspects of embryonic development, studied in evolutionary developmental biology.

  8. Gene regulatory network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_regulatory_network

    Structure of a gene regulatory network Control process of a gene regulatory network. A gene (or genetic) regulatory network (GRN) is a collection of molecular regulators that interact with each other and with other substances in the cell to govern the gene expression levels of mRNA and proteins which, in turn, determine the function of the cell.

  9. TIMP1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIMP1

    TIMP1 is an inhibitory molecule that regulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and disintegrin-metalloproteinases (ADAMs and ADAMTSs). [6] In regulating MMPs, TIMP1 plays a crucial role in extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, wound healing, [7] and pregnancy. [8] [9] [10] The dysregulated activity of TIMP1 has been implicated in cancer. [11]
