T phage of Esherichia coli ~ 50 m DNA.
Single Circular DNA molecule of Escherichia coli, ~1,4 mm long
~4 cm linear DNA molecule contains in a usual human chromosome
Supercoiled Relaxed Topoisomerases
Nucleus of a eukariotic cells (electronmicrograph) Function: protection, transport, gene expression nucleolus euchromatin nuclear lamina heterochromatin HETEROCHROMATIN
Types of the chromatin: eu- and heterochromatin Structure of the chromatin ; histons, nucleosomes, solenoid and loops
Histones: small, basic, higly conserved proteins
30 nm chromatin fiber: interactions and modifications of site chains of histones and H1 histon are necessary The sructure of the 30 nm chromatin fiber is variable (heterogen)
solenoid „beads-on-a-string” structure 11 and 30 nm chromatin fibers (electonmicrograph)
H2A H2B H3 H4
Chromatin structure and gene expresson in that area are hang on the chemical modification of histones (acetylations, metylation, phosphorylation)
SMC = Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes family protein (part of the condensin complex) Condensins organise the loop-structure
DNA Chromatin Loops Metaphase chromosome
Chemical modification of the DNA (methylation) has role in regulation
de novo metylases Imprinting
XIST = X inactivaton specific transcript XIC = X inactivation center Histones also play role in the inactivation
