what are the seven levels of gene regulation in eukaryotes?
1) chromatin remodelling 2) transcriptional control 3) RNA processing - 5’ capping, 3’ polyadenylation, splicing 4) RNA localisation 5) RNA stability and degradation 6) Translational control 7) Protein folding, post-translational modification NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE

Describe chromatin remodelling. | > histone structure can be modified. Generally:
- histone acetylation is associated with active chromatin - i.e., euchromatin, loose, easier to transcribe
-histone and especially DNA methylation (cytosines, methyl-C) inactive genes, i.e., heterochromatin, tightly condensed DNA
e.g., in some cases cancer cells’ tumour suppressor genes are inappropriately repressed by methylation, and heterochromatin is activated by acetylation. |
