Eukaryotic Genome Control Mechanisms for Gene expression
AP Biology Eukaryotic Genome Control Mechanisms for Gene expression
2
Chromatin vs. Chromosomes appearance within the cell.
3
Histone Proteins and Supercoiling
2 nm DNA double helix His- tones Histone tails Histone H1 10 nm Linker DNA (“string”) Nucleosome (“bead”) Nucleosomes (10-nm fiber)
4
Supercoiling of Chromatin
5
Euchromatin vs. Heterochromatin (The dark spots are the hetero)
6
DNA Control stages in Protein Synthesis
Signal NUCLEUS Chromatin DNA Gene available for transcription Gene Transcription RNA Exon Primary transcript Intro RNA processing Tail Cap mRNA in nucleus Transport to cytoplasm CYTOPLASM mRNA in cytoplasm Degradation of mRNA Translation Polypeptide Cleavage Chemical modification Transport to cellular destination Active protein Degradation of protein Degraded protein
7
Methylation
8
. Histone tails DNA double helix Amino acids available for chemical
modification Histone tails protrude outward from a nucleosome Unacetylated histones Acetylated histones Acetylation of histone tails promotes loose chromatin structure that permits transcription
9
