- Histones contain many basic amino acids including lysine. DNA and histones collectively form chromatin. Open chromatin is much more open and accessible to the transcriptional machinery than closed chromatin. Histone lysine acetylation is associated with open chromatin and occurs near genes that are being actively transcribed. Part A Given what you know about the chemical properties of DNA and the function of histones. whv do histones contain so many basic amino acids? Answer in no more than two sentences. Part B Given what you know about how acetylation affects lysine, why does histone lysine acetylation open chromatin? Answer in one sentence only.Which of the following statements concerning eukaryotic chromatin is true. Histones have an overall negative charge. Euchromatin is more condensed then heterochromatin. After replication nucleosomes are made up of a mixture of old and new histone proteins. Euchromatin is associated with the centromere and telomere regions. Heterochromatin are regions of active transcription.Histones can be acetylated: acetyl (CH3CO) groups are attached to the amines. When it is time to transcribe DNA (to produce a needed protein), the histones need DNA-Protein Complexes Histones tightly bind to the DNA preventing transcription. to unwind from the DNA. histone protein nd u HN HN NH3 NH3 HN.

- I. The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) is a transcription factor that is similar to steroid hormone receptors. Thesubstance (ligand) that binds to this receptor is retinoicacid. One of the genes whose transcription is activatedby retinoic acid binding to the receptor is myoD. Thediagram that follows shows a schematic view of theRAR proteins produced by genes into which one oftwo different 12-base double-stranded oligonucleotides had been inserted in the ORF. The insertion site(a–m) associated with each mutant protein is indicatedwith the appropriate letter on the polypeptide map.For constructs encoding proteins a–e, oligonucleotide 1(5′ TTAATTAATTAA 3′ read off either strand) wasinserted into the RAR gene. For constructs encoding proteins f–m, oligonucleotide 2 (5′ CCGGCCGGCCGG 3′)was inserted into the gene.NH2 f g h i j k l m COOHa b c d eThe wild-type RAR protein can both bind DNA and activate transcription weakly in the absence of retinoic acid(RA) and strongly in RA’s presence. Each…Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct and if false, replace the underlined words with the correct one. 1. Heterochromatin is typically gene-rich and composed of loosely-packed DNA that is transcriptionally active. 2. Molecular switches regulate the expression of genes by directing where and when genes should be turned on or off depending on the cell signal. 3. DNA Methylation and acetylation of histones are inverselycorrelated 4. Specialized cells produce specialized proteins derived from luxury genes which are constitutively expressed. 5.

- The diagram below shows the structure of DNA from the level of a gene to a condensed mitotic chromosome. At each of the four locations marked, indicate how a gene may be regulated by selecting from the choices given. Some answer choices may fit into more than one position; however, you should use each answer choice only once. Choices given: Alternative splicing within the gene sequence can lead to different forms of mRNA. A promoter region can be blocked by another protein. Histone deacetylation can prevent DNA from unwinding. A regulatory region can be bound and increase transcription rates.Which of the following is likely to be transcriptionally expressed? euchromatin and DNA with methyl groups euchromatin DNA with methyl groups DNA with acetylated histones euchromatin and DNA with acetylated histonesYou discover a histone variant that has more positive charge than conventional histone proteins. What effect do you predict this histone variant would have when it is inserted into chromatin? A decrease in the strength of histone-DNA interaction, making chromatin less condensed and increasing gene expression An increase in the strength of histone-DNA interaction, making chromatin less condensed and decreasing gene expression An increase in the strength of histone-DNA interaction, making chromatin more condensed and decreasing gene expression O A decrease in the strength of histone-DNA interaction, making chromatin less condensed and decreasing gene expression
- Hyperacetylation of histone tails is often associated with: Question 22 options: Tight conformation of chromatin Loose conformation of chromatinStimulation of map kinase can help regulate cell division and cell mass. the following effects of map kinase activation explains an increase in cell mass. Phosphorylation of RSK (kinase and the subsequent phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal subunit. Phosphorylation of myosin light chain Phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase phosphorylation of histone H1 none of theseDescribe the mechanism by which histone modifications are established after DNA replication and cell division. What are some things that could go wrong if modifications can't be maintained? Think about what histone modifications do to DNA and why cells maintain parts of their chromosome as heterochromatin.
