Facts The DNA in each human cell is enormous End to end - all 24 chromosomes would stretch 1.8 metres Cell diameter is = WHO CARES!!! Nucleus diameter is = few um How is it squeezed in and also controlled?
Slide 5-

DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid It is a Macromolecule Made of Subunits - nucleotides IT HAS DIRECTIONALITY dictated by the free end groups always written 5’ to 3’ direction for each single strand
Slide 6-

Three-dimensional structure Figure 9.7
Slide 7-

DNA and RNA can be VERY VERY VERY large macromolecules with several levels of complexity 1. Nucleotides form the repeating units 2. Nucleotides are linked to form a single strand 3. Two strands can interact to form a double strand - for DNA this is called the double helix 4. The double helix is nursed and managed by P’s which bend and twist the DNA - eventually resulting in 3-D structures in the form of chromosomes NUCLEIC ACID STRUCTURE
Slide 8-

The nucleotide is the repeating structural unit of DNA and RNA HOW IS IT CONSTRUCTED? Many varieties Each has three components A phosphate group A pentose sugar A nitrogenous base Nucleotides

Figure 9.9 The structure of nucleotides found in (a) DNA and (b) RNA A, G, C or T The red atoms below are found within individual nucleotides However, they are removed when nucleotides join together to make strands of DNA or RNA A, G, C or U
Slide 11-

Base + sugar  nucleoside Example Adenine + ribose = Adenosine Adenine + deoxyribose = Deoxyadenosine Base + sugar + phosphate(s)  nucleotide Example Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Next…

Figure 9.11 LEARN WHICH ATOMS CONNECTS THE SUBUNITS TO EACH OTHER… Just LOOK here to determine if this is RNA or DNA

Figure 9.10 Other important nucleotides within cells ATP ADP AMP
Slide 15-

Individual nucleotides are covalently linked together by phosphodiester bonds A phosphate connects the 5’ carbon of one nucleotide to the 3’ carbon of another Therefore the strand has directionality 5’ to 3’ The phosphates and sugar molecules form the backbone of the nucleic acid strand The bases project from the backbone 5’ to 3’ how?
Slide 16-

DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid Macromolecule Subunits - nucleotides 5’ to 3’ direction for each single strand Two strands run in opposite directions

The two strands are not equally spaced because of bond angles P’s and the those enzymes that manage DNA interact with the DNA mainly via the major groove. Minor groove Major groove

Definitions - Genome - The complete set of INFORMATION in an organism’s DNA That is the haploid complement for all organisms Chromosome - A single molecule of DNA Circular or linear Gene - a section of the DNA coding for the production of a single protein* Karyotype - figure or picture showing the full set of chromosomes from a cell during cell division when they are condensed and visible... *simplification of the current data
Slide 20-

Human Karyotype
Slide 21-

Human DNA facts Genome = 3.2 billion base pairs of DNA across 24 different distinct chromosomes (22 automomes + X + Y) Take about 9.5 years to read out loud (without stopping) the three billion pairs of bases in one person's genome sequence Biologist simply say 23 pairs of chromosomes For diploid cells = 6.4 billion base pairs per somatic cell Each ? is a single enormous DNA double-helix - chromosome
Slide 22-

Genome sizes Humans do not have the most chromosomes - Plants tend to have these Humans do not have the largest gemone size - Fish tend to have these An ant species has just 1 chromosome No real association between genome size and evolutionary complexity - human near the middle some where

Chromosomes Structure During the cell cycle the structure of chromosomes changes visibly Interphase state = very fine threads Metaphase state = distinct defined chromosomes Ends of chromosomes are known as telomeres Middles, where the spindles attach, as centromeres
Slide 25-

Nucleolus Within the nucleus are one or more nucleoli. The nucleolus is the coming together of genes from different chromosomes that are involved in making ribosomes. An average, healthy cell can produce up to 10 000 ribosomes per minute.
Slide 26-

Nucleolus
Slide 27-

DNA management 10,000 fold difference in size between DNA helix stretched out and the size of a metaphase chromosome - How? Answer = Proteins associated with DNA Histone Proteins (H1, H2a, H2b, H3, and H4) DNA plus these proteins is called Chromatin
Slide 28-

Nucleosome Complex consisting of 200 bp of DNA 8 histone proteins in core H1 histone stabilizing Core = 146 bp DNA and two each of H2a, H2b, H3 and H4

Permission required for reproduction or display 10-45 Overall structure of connected nucleosomes resembles “beads on a string” This structure shortens the DNA length about seven-fold Figure 10.14 Vary in length between 20 to 100 bp, depending on species and cell type Diameter of the nucleosome

Higher Order Folding DNA -double-stranded helix is 2 nm thick Nucleosome - 11 nm thick 30nm chromatin fibre - 30 nm thick Chromatin loops - 300 nm thick Condensed chromatin - 700 nm thick Chromosome (mitotic) - 1400 nm thick DNA is wrapped or looped using a protein matrix

10-64 Figure 10.21 Compaction level in euchromatin Compaction level in heterochromatin During interphase most chromosomal regions are euchromatic
Slide 35-

Heterochromatin Regions close to telomere and centromere are classes as heterochromatin based on observations These are not very active for transcription DNA thought to be tightly packed here Few proteins can enter region - it it too tight for them to get to the DNA
Slide 36-

Chromatin Remodeling Complexes Large Protein complexes which selectively act at the nucleosome level to unwind DNA to allow proteins access IMPORTANT control mechanism in the cell. Transcription occurs when needed.
