Chapter 19, Problem 4PDQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: The part of the genome which is reversibly methylated.

Introduction: Histone modification is important for the proper functioning of the cell. Errors in the process of histone modification may lead to various cancer and genetic disease in humans.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of reversible methylation on gene expression.

Introduction: Reversible DNA methylation mainly occurs at the CpG island and promoter sequence of various genes. DNA methyltransferase enzyme is important for site-specific methylation in genes.

What is DNA methylation? When we say that DNA methylation is heritable, what do we mean? How is it passed from a mother to a daughter cell?
What is a transcriptome, a genome and a proteome. How do they differ and why is the term proteome ambiguous?
ow does DNA methylation occur? What enzyme is involved in DNA methylation? What are the consequences of DNA methylation? What is base flipping and why is it significant? How do bacteria use methylation to protect their own DNA? How is methylation is used to silence genes in plants and mammals? What is epigenetic silencing? How is DNA methylation involved in X-chromosome inactivation and genomic imprinting in mammals? What are boundary elements and what role do they play in separating chromatin domains? How do special DNA sites facilitate the transition between euchromatin and heterochromatin? How do boundary elements affect chromatin modification? How do boundary elements function by binding specific proteins? What are the elements required for chromosome function? List the specialized regions that direct essential chromosomal functions. How does the “origin” site initiate DNA replication? Why is a replication of linear DNA more complicated than the replication of circular DNA?
