Methylation, Acetylation and Epigenetics Chapter 15 Methylation, Acetylation and Epigenetics

You Must Know The impact of DNA methylation and histone acetylation on gene expression.

Almost all the cells in an organism are genetically identical. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes alter gene expression in response to their changing environment. Multicellular eukaryotes also develop and maintain multiple cell types. Gene expression is often regulated at the transcription stage, but control at other stages is important, too. All organisms must regulate which genes are expressed at any given time. In multicellular organisms regulation of gene expression is essential for cell specialization. Differences between cell types result from differential gene expression, the expression of different genes by cells with the same genome.

In eukaryotes, gene expression is regulated at many stages. Gene regulation in the nucleus In eukaryotes, gene expression is regulated at many stages.

Euchromatin Heterochromatin Methylation Acetylation Genes within highly condensed heterochromatin are usually not expressed. Euchromatin Methylation Acetylation The structural organization of chromatin packs DNA into a compact form and also helps regulate gene expression in several ways. The addition of methyl groups (methylation) can condense chromatin and lead to reduced transcription. Heterochromatin Chemical modifications to histone proteins and DNA can influence chromatin structure and gene expression.

In histone acetylation, acetyl groups are attached to positively charged lysines in histone tails. This generally loosens chromatin structure, promoting the initiation of transcription. Nucleosome Unacetylated histones Acetylated histones Histone tails 7

DNA methylation is the addition of methyl groups to certain bases in DNA, usually cytosine. Individual genes are usually more heavily methylated in cells where they are not expressed.

Once methylated, genes usually remain so through successive cell divisions. After replication, enzymes methylate the correct daughter strand so that the methylation pattern is inherited.

Epigenetic Inheritance http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics/ Though chromatin modifications do not alter DNA sequence, they may be passed to future generations of cells. The inheritance of traits transmitted by mechanisms not directly involving the nucleotide sequence is called epigenetic inheritance. Epigenetic modifications can be reversed, unlike mutations in DNA sequence. 10
