Histone H1
Linker DNA
(“string”)
Nucleosomes (10-nm fiber)
Nucleosome

Supercoiling of Chromatin
Histones-proteins
DNA wraps around
Nucleosome-unit of DNA wrapped
around histones
Supercoiling-Chromatinchromosomes
Heterochromatin-remains condensed
Euchromatin-loose during interphase
Cellular differentiation-making cells
different; accomplished by turning genes
“on” or “off”differential gene expression
Euchromatin vs.
Heterochromatin
(The dark spots are the hetero)
During Transcription
DNA
Methylation-heavy coat-preventssource of genomic imprinting
Histone acetylation-breaks bond btwn
DNA and proteins;allows RNA polymerase
to attach
piwi-associated RNAs(piRNAs) induce
formation of heterochromatin

Enhancers& activators-control rate

Histone tails protrude outward from a nucleosome
Unacetylated histones
Acetylated histones
Acetylation of histone tails promotes loose chromatin
structure that permits transcription

Blockage of translation
Coordinated
control of genes familiesmultiple copies of same gene, all
transcribed at one
MicroRNA (miRNA) and small interfering
RNA (siRNA)-little pieces that attach to
mRNA to control transcription

Post Translation control
Chaperonin
or SRP
Phosphorylation-turns on or off
Proteosomes-control how long protein
lasts-mainly work on intracellularly
produced proteins ex. Cyclins, remove
transcription factors, recycle amino acids
(Lysosomes work on extracellularly
produced proteins)
Chaperonin
Protein will stay in the cell
RER
Protein will leave the cell
Proteosomes
Proteasome
and ubiquitin
to be recycled
Ubiquitin
Proteasome
Protein to
be degraded
Ubiquitinated

proteasome

Nuclear membrane’s role?
What is Dark Matter?
A
five-year project called ENCODE, for
"Encyclopedia of DNA Elements," found
that about 80 percent of the human
genome is biologically active, influencing
how nearby genes are expressed and in
which types of cells. It's not junk DNA,
which was previously thought — instead,
these non-coding regions of DNA could
have major bearing on diseases and
genetic mutations, researchers say.
Epigenetic
Inheritance
of traits not directly involving
nucleotide sequence
Modifications of chromatin can be
reversed
