Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Lecture Content:
1. Molecular mechanisms of transcriptional control in bacteria - promoters and their recognition by RNA polymerase - Mechanisms of transcriptional control of bacterial operons: activators, repressors, 2-component systems
2. Molecular mechanisms of transcriptional control in eukaryotes: - Promotors of RNA Polymerases I, II and III - methodology for the analysis of gene expression - structure-function relationships in transcription factors - Transcriptional initiation general transcription factors and coactivators - chromatin structure and its influence on transcriptional activity of RNA polymerase II - signals and molecular mechanisms of transcription factor activation
