Concept explainers

Gene Interactions

When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.

Gene Expression

Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.

When challenged with a low oxygen environment, knownas hypoxia, the body produces a hormone called erythropoietin(EPO), which then stimulates red blood cell production tocarry more oxygen. Transcription of the gene encoding EPO isdependent upon the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), which is atranscriptional activator. However, HIF alone is not sufficientto activate EPO. For example, Wang et al. (2010. PLOS ONE 5:e10002) showed that HIF recruits another protein called p300to an enhancer for the EPO gene. Furthermore, deletion of p300significantly impaired transcription of the EPO gene in responseto hypoxia. Given that p300 is a type of histone acetyl transferase,how might p300 influence transcription of the EPO gene?
