| dc.description.abstract | All somatic cells of the same organism contain the same complement of genes. During cellular differentiation transcriptional specialization occurs. This process allows the selected expression of genetic information in specialized cells; e.g., only red blood cell precursors synthesize hemoglobin, only hepatocytes synthesize phenylalanine hydroxylase and serum albumin (159), and only estrogen induced oviduct cells synthesize ovalbumin. During differentiation certain genes function only at specific times and in particular tissues. Hence, portions of the eukaryotic genome must be prevented from expressing, in some manner, their genetic information. Evidence indicates that the chromosomal proteins participate in the regulation of gene activity. How this is accomplished and which components are involved are questions which are now being investigated. | |
