DNA methylation - Histone modifications
11 important questions on DNA methylation - Histone modifications
How is DNA organized in the nucleus?
What type of chromatin does muscle-specific gene has in gut and muscle?
What is chromatin remodeling? and name different types of chromatin remodeling proteins
- modifications are primarily located in N-terminal of histone tails
Different type of chromatin remodeling proteins exist:
- histone-modifying complexes
- ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the effect and role of histone modifications?
Role: affect gene expresion, hamper amplification transposons, DNA repair, genome stability, prevent cryptic initiation of transcription
What is the main method to detect histone modification?
- Specific antibodies are added to fragmented nucleosome
- then beads are, that will bind to the antibody
- the beads are then isolated and from that DNA is isolated
- securing or qPCR can be done
Give a example of that histone modification do not act alone
- SET1 (H3K4 histone methyl transferase methylates h3k4)
- H3K4me3 facilitates binding NuA3 Histone Acetyl Transferase HAT complex, that acetylates H3K14
How is ChIP-Seq used to annotate genomes?
How does Histone acetylation make chromatin more accessible?
- it facilitates the binding of TF and RNA pol
- Histone deacetylase (HDAC) and Histone acetyltransferase (HAT)
Why is there a bivalent/poised state in embryonic stem cells?
- Presence H3K27me3-Polycomb & H3K4me3-Trx complex
What are the roles of writer, readers and eraser of histone modifications?
How are histone modifying enzymes recruited?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
