Question 5
With the aid of diagrams, explain the DNA methylation process involve in silencing the mammalian genes with examples of genes.
DNA methylation usually occurs on the cytosine nucleotide of DNA. The 5th position is methylated with the help of enzymes called DNA Methyltransferases (DMNTs) [In this case it'll be DNMT3a and DNMT3b]. The -CH3 group is attached to S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM-CH3) from which it is then attached to the 5th position of cytosine (as shown in the picture/diagram above). The end product is 5-methyl cytosine and SAM gets converted to SAH (S-Adenosyl homocysteine).
The examples of a few genes that have been experimentally proven to be silenced as a result of methylation are FTMT, C12orf12, and DPPA5.

AS Part A Which of the following events occurs during DNA replication? All methylation of the DNA is lost at the first round of replication Methylated DNA is copied in the cytoplasm, and unmethylated DNA is copied in the nucleus Methylation of the DNA is maintained because DNA polymerase directly incorporates methylated nucleotides into the new strand opposite any methylated nucleotides in the template. Methylation of the DNA is maintained because methylation enzymes act at DNA sites where ane strand...
