DNA PACKING•Histones•Nucleosomes (1st)•30nm fibers (2nd)•Looped domains (3rd)•Heterochromatin –
not transcribed,metaphase chromatid
•Euchromatin – open,
actively transcribed
•Chromosome location specific

Repetitive DNA (tandem repeats)◦ 10-15% in mammals◦ short sequences (10) repeated in series, 100,000’s
times◦ Fragile X: 100’s instead of 30 triplet repeats◦ Huntington’s: CAG repeats
# of repeats correlates with severity and age of onset.◦ Regular, mini & micro satellites
Interspersed Repetitive DNA◦ Scattered, 25-40%, similar but not identical◦Alu elements: family of sequences 5% primate
genome, about 300 bp, many transcribed; most transposons

NON-IDENTICAL MULTIGENE FAMILY2 related families that code for globins
4 subunits,2α & 2β
Nonfunctional, very similar to
functional genes
![Page 7: EUKARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815d3b550346895dcb3dc4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Gene Amplification: the temporary increase in the number of copies of a gene– rRNA in amphibians– rRNA in developing ovum, large # of ribosomes
burst of protein synthesis after fertilization– Extra copies cannot replicate & are broken
down• Selective Gene Loss: occurs in certain
insects, whole chromosomes or parts of chromosomes may be lost early in development.
![Page 8: EUKARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815d3b550346895dcb3dc4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Transposons: can prevent normal functioning, may ↑ or ↓production, or be activated, 10% of human genome
Retrotransposons: use an RNA intermediate Immunoglobulin Genes: code for antibodies,
genes become rearranged as immune cells differentiate
![Page 9: EUKARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815d3b550346895dcb3dc4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Retrotransposon Movement: like retrovirus reproduction, can populate the genome in huge numbers
![Page 10: EUKARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815d3b550346895dcb3dc4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
DNA Rearrangementmaturation of an immunoglobulin gene
The joining of V, J & C regions of DNA in random combinations enormous variety of antibody-producing lymphocytes
•Hundreds of V regions•Several Junction regions•1-2 Constant regions

CONTROL OF GENE EXPRESSION•Cellular differentiation – divergence in form & function as cells become specialized during development•3-5% expressed at any given time (liver vs skin)•DNA Methylation – genes not expressed, methyl group (CH3) attached
•Barr body – heavy methylation, inactive X, heterochromatin•Genomic Imprinting – turning off alleles
•Histone Acetylation – acetyl groups on histone a.a. causing shape change, grip DNA less tightly, easier access to genes for transcription
![Page 12: EUKARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815d3b550346895dcb3dc4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
