This is due to the loss of the function mutation . The main function of the promoter gene is the regulation of the process of transcription . The promoter gene is present before the the start codon about - 35 in the 3' direction. The promoter have a binding site for the regulatory protein. Regulatory protein binds to the promoter gene and regulate its function . If a regulatory protein have a negative effect and inhibit the process of transcription then a a regulatory substance points to the regulatory protein and initiates the process of transcription. Due to the loss in the the function of the promoter gene. The process of transcription is not regulated and there is continuous process of transcription result in production of high amount of RNA from DNA by transcription and this leads to overexpression of a particular protein .The diagram shows the the structure of a promoter gene along with the coding sequence , start and stop codon .

Genetics Worksheet Week 3: Gene Regulation and Epigenetics 1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation in a gene that is 2.5 million nucleotides in length and encodes a protein called dystrophin. The dystrophin protein itself is 3684 amino acids in length. Calculate below the approximate size of the mRNA that encodes dystrophin. Approximately what percentage of the gene that encodes dystrophin is intron sequence? The human genome encodes a much greater variety and number of proteins than the...

In humans, Sickle Cell Disease is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the beta...
In humans, Sickle Cell Disease is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the beta subunit (Hbb) of hemoglobin, the oxygen transporting protein in the blood. The most common mutation is E6V (Glutamate6-to-Valine). If you were asked to design gene editing guide that will correct the mutation by inserting a codon for phenylalanine, what codon would most likely result in the greatest level of expression of the corrected Hbb? Briefly state why the level is likely to be highest...

Student A believes that a missense mutation would lead to a nonfunctioning protein. Student B believes that the insertion of 3 nucleotides would be more likely to lead to a nonfunctioning protein. Student C disagrees with both student A and B claiming that such mutations would not alter the function of the protein. WHos perspective is the most correct and why?

Hyper-IgM syndrome is a rare genetic disease caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the gene that codes for the CD40L protein. What are the two most likely direct effects of CD40L deficiency? Increased recruitment of neutrophils into inflamed tissue. Reduced recruitment of neutrophils into inflamed tissue. Reduced phagocytic function of macrophages. A failure of the germinal center reaction. A loss of IFN-γ function.
