Model for the structure of the nucleosome

• Higher-order structures provide for the compaction of chromatin– 10-nm fibril – 30-nm chromatin fiber – Loops or domains• Interphase chromosomes
![Page 4: DNA Organization, Replication, & Repair. Model for the structure of the nucleosome](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032709/56649ee05503460f94bf08dc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Some regions of chromatin are “active” & others are “inactive”
• Generally, every cell of an individual metazoan organism contains the same genetic information
• Sensitive to digestion by a nuclease • In many cases, it seems that if a gene is capable
of being transcribed, it very often has a DNase-hypersensitive site(s) in the chromatin immediately upstream.

• Heterochromatin – Transcriptionally inactive chromatin– Densely packed
• Euchromatin – Transcriptionally active chromatin

DNA is organized into chromosome
• Telomeres – Consist of short, repeat TG-rich sequences
• Each sister chromatid contains one double-stranded DNA molecule.
• During interphase, the packing of the DNA molecule is less dense than it is in the condensed chromosome during metaphase.
• Metaphase chromosomes are nearly completely transcriptionally inactive.

DNA is organized into chromosome
• The human haploid genome – 3 *109 bp– 23 chromatids – Each sister chromatid contains one double-
stranded DNA molecule. • Each chromatid would contain one double-
stranded DNA molecule.

Coding Regions Are Often Interruptedby Intervening Sequences
• Protein coding regions of DNA– mRNA – exons
• Nonprotein coding DNA– Introns
• 1-50
– hnRNA • Primary transcript
– The function• is not clear

Much of the mammalian genome is redundant & much is not transcribed
• Sequence classes– Unique sequence, or nonrepetitive, DNA – Repetitive sequence DNA.• Centromeres & telomeres• Transcriptionally inactive & may play a structural role
• Different combinations of genes are expressed in each tissue
• In human DNA, at least 30% of the genome consists of repetitive sequences
