Developmental control

The processing of hnRNA molecules is a site for regulation of gene expression. Alternative patterns of RNA splicing result from tissue-specific adaptive and developmental control mechanisms. As mentioned...

On the other hand, there is no question that enormous strides have been made. It is now possible to describe in detail the chromatin structures in many specific promoters, and then show how they are remodeled for transcriptional activation. Different kinds of chromatin organization are now recognized for different levels of developmental control. Despite the remarkable advance in detailed information that the past 25 years have provided, the overall picture of transcription in chromatin remains strangely obscured. There is almost too much... 

Expression of the multiple catalases in plants (e.g., three in maize and four in mustard) are developmentally controlled, giving rise to complex response patterns. The picture is further complicated by overlapping responses to environmental stresses such as pathogenesis, radiation, hormones, temperature extremes, oxygen extremes, and H2O2 27).

Muscle, whose structure and function are discussed in Chapter 19, develops in response to four members of the myoD family. These include myoD, myogenin, myf5, and MRF4.417-419 All are muscle-specific transcription factors of the basic helix -loop -helix class. An unusual aspect of muscle development is formation of multinucleate myotubes (muscle fibers p. 1096)420 Apoptosis plays an important role in muscle development and can present significant complications in damaged cardiac muscle.421 Defects in several developmental control genes are responsible for congenital heart diseases.422...
