Eukaryotic genes have promoter sites with a TATAAA con- +1 AGCGTA-3’ TCGCAT-5’ Transcription start site sensus sequence centred at about position -25, and often also a CAAT box with a GGXCAATCT consensus sequence positioned at about position -75. Constitutive genes often also show GC-rich sequences in their promoters. The CAAT and GC boxes can affect promoter activity when positioned on either the coding or the template strand.

2001). Microarrays can thus also be used as a genome annotation tool. 3 Protein expression profiles À the proteome As stated previously, most of the cellular regulation of gene expression is exerted at the transcriptional level. However, in some cases, as with the yeast GCN4 gene, a transcriptional activator, or CPA1 gene, which encodes the glutaminase subunit of the arginine pathway carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase, protein amounts do not reflect mRNA levels (McCarthy, 1998; Sachs & Buratowski, 1997).
Traditionally, proteome analysis has relied on two-dimensional separation of proteins. In a first dimension, the proteins are focused according to their isoelectric point. They are then separated in the second dimension by their apparent molecular mass. With the recent developments of mass spectrometry together with the advent of the sequence of genomes, it has been possible to devise methods that allow identification of hundreds of proteins on two-dimensional gels (Pandey & Mann, 2000). These methods are also able to detect some protein modifications (see chapter 5).
