Compare the mechanisms by which acetylation and methylation of histone lysines affect transcription. Be sure to discuss how these modifications impact the charge of the lysine and the association of other proteins.
Homework Answers
The acetyl groups have a negative charge on them and the methyl groups are a neutral group and somewhat positive charged. Acetylation of the histone lysine residues renders the positive charge on the lysine residue to reduce and also the subsequent methylation of the DNA renders the negative charge of the DNA to be neutral and hence due to these similar charges on both histones and DNA, the DNA becomes loose on the histone proteins and hence the DNA will be available for transcription. Hence due to acetylation and methylation, the transcription is favoured.

In contrast to histone acetylation, which always correlates with gene activation, histone methylation can lead to either transcriptional activation or repression. How do you suppose that the same modification - methylation - can mediate different biological outcomes? Explain what is meant when we say two DNA sequences are 'highly conserved'. Why are some sequences conserved and others aren't? In your own words, explain what is meant by "position effect". What is the molecular basis of this phenomenon?

Part 1. Eukaryotes use at least two distinct mechanisms to control gene expression by altering the structure of chromatin around a particular gene. One of these mechanisms is the covalent modification of histones to switch DNA between an open and closed confirmation. A second mechanism is the covalent modification of DNA (typically on cytosines) by methylation. A. Describe a type of histone modification and explain what effect is has on chromatin, and how that effect is achieved. a. One type...
