Regulation of Translation In Eukaryotes
Translational regulation refers to the control of the levels of protein synthesized from its mRNA. In eukaryotes, regulation of protein synthesis can occur by modification of DNA or at the level of transcription within the nucleus, processing of mRNA in the nucleus, or translation in the cytoplasm. A. Regulation through Changes in Genes Genes can be lost (or partially lost) from cells so that functional proteins can no longer be produced (e.g., during differentiation of red blood cells). Genes can be amplified. For example, the drug …Read more
