12.1 Viral and Bacterial Chromosomes Are Relatively Simple DNA Molecules
Bacterial and viral chromosomes are usually:• a single nucleic acid molecule• largely devoid of associated proteins• much smaller than eukaryotic chromosomes
![Page 3: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Chromosomes of viruses consist of single- or double-stranded DNA or RNA.
Can be linear or circular.
Section 12.1
Phage Double-stranded DNADNA is linear before infection, circular afterDNA molecule = 7 m. Phage head <0.1mDNA is inert when packaged in the phage head

Chromosomes of viruses consist of single- or double-stranded DNA or RNA.
Can be linear or circular, depending on the virus.
Section 12.1
Phage T2Double-stranded DNALinear molecule = 52 m Phage head = 0.1mm

Section 12.1
Bacterial chromosomes are double-stranded DNA and are compacted into a nucleoid
DNA binding proteins
HU and H1 (positively charged)
E. coli
Circular DNA molecule = 1200 m.
Bacteria = 2 m
Unlike viruses, DNA is active even though it is highly compacted within the cell

12.2 Supercoiling Facilitates Compaction of the DNA of Viral and Bacterial Chromosomes
• Supercoiling compacts DNA.• Most closed circular DNA molecules in
bacteria are slightly underwound and supercoiled.

Eukaryotic Chromosomes
• Larger• More complex (chromatin)• More compacted
• Some specialized eukaryotic chromosomes were invaluable for early insights into structure: Polytene and Lampbrush Chromsomes
![Page 9: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Polytene chromosomes and lampbrush chromosomes are very large and can be visualized by light microscopy.
• Polytene: Salivary glands and guts of some flies, protozoans, and plants (somatic cells)
• Lampbrush: vertebrate oocytes (germ cells--meiotic)
Unusual eukaryotic chromosomes

• Polytene chromosomes: • have distinctive banding patterns• represent paired homologs• are composed of many DNA strands
Section 12.3
![Page 11: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The DNA of the paired homologs of polytene chromosomes undergoes many rounds of replication without strand separation or cytoplasmic division.
Section 12.3
![Page 13: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Polytene chromosomes have puff regions where the DNA has uncoiled and are visible manifestations of a high level of gene activity.

• Lampbrush chromosomes are large and have extensive DNA looping.
• They are found in oocytes in the diplotene stage of meiosis.
• Thought to be extended, uncoiled versions of normal meiotic chromosomes

Coiled and uncoiled DNA
• “Uncoiling” seems to be associated with gene activity
• But DNA in cells is usually highly coiled and compact.
![Page 18: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
12.4 Eukaryotes: DNA Is Organized into Chromatin
• Nucleosomes are condensed several times to form the intact chromatids
• The DNA in a human cell would be ~2 meters long if it were “unwound”.
• The nucleus is 5-10 mm (5 x 10-6 m) in diameter• Eukaryotic chromosomes are complexed into a
nucleoprotein structure called chromatin.• Chromatin is bound up in nucleosomes with
histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4
![Page 19: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Chromatin remodeling must occur to allow the DNA to be accessed by DNA binding proteins.
Section 12.4
Histone tails are important for histone modifications such as acetylation, methylation, and phosphorylation.
Histone Methylation usually turns a gene off.
Histone Acetylation usually turns a gene on.
Histone Phosphorylation -- we're not sure what that does.

Chromosome Banding
• Mitotic chromosomes have a characteristic banding pattern.
• In C-banding, only the centromeres are stained.
• G-banding is due to differential staining along the length of each chromosome.
![Page 26: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Differential staining in G banding reflects the heterogeneity & complexity of the chromosome.

Eukaryotic Chromosomes have non-repetitive and repetitive DNA
• Repetitive DNA sequences are repeated many times within eukaryotic chromosomes.
• There are a number of categories of repetitive DNA
![Page 28: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Multi-copy genes:Some coding genes occur in multiple copies (e.g.,
genes encoding ribosomal DNA).
However, most repetitive DNA is non-coding
There are several different kinds of repetitive DNA
Repetitive DNA sequences are repeated many times within eukaryotic chromosomes.
![Page 29: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Satellite DNA: highly repetitive, consists of short repeated sequences.
Repetitive DNA
Centromeres• are the primary constrictions along eukaryotic
chromosomes• mediate chromosomal migration during
mitosis and meiosis• D. melanogaster centromeres characterized
by AATAACATAG, repeated many times
![Page 30: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Satellite DNA: highly repetitive, consists of short repeated sequences.
Section 12.6
Telomeres• DNA sequences consist of short tandem
repeats that contribute to the stability and integrity of the chromosome.
• In vertebrates 5’-TTAGGGG-3’ is repeated many times
• Up to 1000 telomeric repeats in some organisms
![Page 31: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Moderately repetitive DNA includes: • Minisatellites (variable number tandem repeats or
VNTRs): DNA sequences 15-100 bp, repeated hundreds of times.
• Microsatellites: Sequences 2-4 bp, repeated 5 to 100 times.
VNTRs and microsatellites are used in DNA fingerprinting and other forms of genetic identity and kinship analysis because number of repeats highly variable among individuals
Section 12.6
![Page 32: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Short interspersed elements (SINES) and long interspersed elements (LINES) are dispersed throughout the genome rather than tandemly repeated, and constitute over 1/3 of the human genome.
SINEs are ~ 500 bp, and may occur >500,000 times in the human genome
LINEs are ~6000 bp, and may occur up to 850,000 times in the human genome.
LINEs are retrotransposons because they encode RNAs that are reverse-transcribed back to DNA, which integrates back into genome in a new place. SELFISH GENES

![Page 33: Concepts of Genetics PCB 3063 Kim Hughes, Yingxue Ren, Denise Everhart Chapter 12 DNA Organization in Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8eb3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Only a small portion of the eukaryotic genome (2%–10%) constitute protein-coding genes.
• In addition to repetitive DNA, there are also a large number of single-copy noncoding regions, some of which are pseudogenes.
• Pseudogenes are evolutionary vestiges of functional genes that are no longer functional.
• Pseudogenes are previously functional genes that have acquired “stop codons” and other mutations that make them non-functional.
