2、为核小体;,在原核细胞中,染色质的结构对基因的表达没有明显的调控作用,而在真核中,这种作用是明显的。,2.,在原核基因转录的调控中,既有激活物的调控(正调控),也有阻遏物的调控(负调控),二者同等重要。在真核中虽然也有正调控成分和负调控成分,但迄今已知的主要是正调控。而且一个真核基因通常有多个调控序列,必须有多个激活物同时特异地结合上,才能启动基因的转录;,3.,原核基因的转录和翻译通常偶联在一起,而真核基因的转录是在细胞核中进行,翻译在胞质中进行;,4.,生成的初级转录物需在核中进行转录后的加工和运输,所以,真核基因的表达有多种转录后的调控机制;,5.,真核生物大都为多细胞生物,在个体发育过
3、程中逐步分化形成各种组织和细胞类型。分化是不同基因表达的结果。不同类型的细胞,功能不同,基因表达的情况也不一样。某些基因仅特异地在某种细胞中表达,称为细胞特异性或组织特异性表达,因而具有调控这种特异性表达的机制。,6.,真核生物对外界环境条件变化的反应和 原核生物十分不同。同一群原核生物细胞处在相同的环境条件中,对环境条件的变化会作出基本一致的反应;而真核生物常常只有少部分细胞基因的表达直接受到环境条件变化的影响和调控,其他大部分间接或不受影响。,第一节 染色体水平的调控,一、染色体丢失,某些生物,在个体发育的早期,体细胞的染色体部分丢失,而性细胞的染色体数目保持不变。,例子:,马蛔虫,(Pa
