What is the difference between chromatin and chromosomes? How many DNA molecules are in a eukaryotic chromosome in its duplicated form? Why? What proteins are used to spool up DNA? What charge do they have? 1. What is the complementary strand for: 5'-ATGCATGCATGCCC-3'? How many turn(...
histone and DNA readily associate with each other, allowing the aforementioned "spooling" to occur. A single instance of many lengths of DNA being wrapped around a complex of eight histones forms what is called anucleosome. Upon microscopic examination, successive nucleosome...
Which of the following choices most accurately describes the proteins that form the linker histones of the chromatosome? A) H2A, H2B, H3, H4 B) H2A, H1t, H5, H3 C) H5, H1a-e, H1t, H10 Which is not a type of protein? A. Simple Protein B. Complex Protein C. Conjugated Protein ...
H2A.Z the “good guy”: Counteracting the oncohistones In most diseases where H2A.Z is involved, its overexpression or improper modification tends to be detrimental, often exacerbating the condition. However, there is a notable exception where H2A.Z plays a beneficial role. In pediatric high-gra...
DNA in cells exists in the form of chromatin, which is a long, linear substance consisting of about one-third DNA and two-thirds protein molecules called histones. These proteins serve the vital function of compelling DNA to coil and twist in on itself to such a remarkable extent that a si...
Most of the eukaryotic genomic DNA is bent around histones to form nucleosomes. The capacity of the DNA sequence to undergo such distortion can influence the specific preferred locations for many of the nucleosomes. The existence of a cancerous lesion can sometimes be detected through the ...
Inactive genes are often tightly coiled around histones in nucleosomes. One possibility for gene activation in such cases is that changes in DNA methylation (normally demethylation) or histone modification open the coil and allow transcriptional activation. Such effects on DNA methylation/histone ...
Chromosomes appear for a cell division (either mitosis or meiosis). They are condensed from DNA by the DNA wrapping first around histones to form a chromatosome. These further coil around themselves and are compressed to form the eventual chromosomes. ...
