  2. A few comments on the course: - the goal of this course is to present you the latest original information on epigenetics, to give you some idea on how is such information obtained and to make you a better scientist. - this course is designed for advanced students, particularly for those who consider career in science. The course is modeled after advanced Msc./PhD. courses at the University of Pennsylvania and is likely very different from anything you have experienced at the university, so far. - this course requires active participation and is quite is demanding. You will have to read the original literature, make a few homeworks, take an exam and write a scientific text. You earn your credits. - the course is taught in English now. Mp3 records in Czech from 2007 Spring semester are available per request. - there are no stupid question. It is stupid not to ask. Exception: don’t ask if this or that is going to be included in the exam because the answer is always YES. - take the course as a challenge. Don’t take it if you don’t like to be challenged.

  10. HISTONES I(CHROMATIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION)

  12. Higher order structure of genetic information in Eucaryots

  13. HETEROCHROMATIN vs. EUCHROMATIN Dyes, like carminic acetic acid or orceine can be used to stain certain domains of a chromosome. The resulting pattern is characteristic for the respective chromosome of a species. During interphase, the chromosomal structure is usually resolved. The intensity of the nuclear staining becomes feebler and less uniform than that of the chromosomes. The stainable substance has been called chromatin by E. HEITZ (formerly at the Botanical Institute of the University of Hamburg, 1927, 1929). He distinguished between heterochromatin and euchromatin. Heterochromatin are all the intensely stained domains, euchromatin the diffuse ones. Heterochromatin is usually spread over the whole nucleus and has a granular appearance. It is known today that the heterochromatic domains are those where the DNA is tightly packed (strongly condensed) which is the reason for their more intense staining. The euchromatic domains are less tightly packed. http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/e11/11c.htm#05

  14. CHROMOSOME BANDING TECHNIQUES Prior to 1960, when Moorehead and Nowell described the use of Giemsa in their chromosome preparations, conventional cytologic stains such as acetoorcein, acetocarmine, gentian violet, hematoxylin, Leishman's, Wright's, and Feulgen stains were used to stain chromosomes. The Romanovsky dyes (which include Giemsa, Leishman's, and Wright's stain) are now recommended for conventional staining, because the slides can be easily destained and banded by most banding procedures. Orcein-stained chromosomes cannot be destained and banded; therefore, orcein is generally not used in routine chromosome staining. Giemsa stain is now the most popular stain for chromosome analysis (Gustashaw, 1991). Banding protocols http://homepage.mac.com/wildlifeweb/cyto/text/Banding.html

  22. NUCLEOSOME AND CORE HISTONES H2A, H2B, H3, H4 – core histones H1 – linker histone

  23. Replication-dependent core histones - localized in large clusters (common chromatin domains? RNA processing?) - the major human cluster - 6p21(mouse chr. 13) - smaller clusters on 1p21 (mouse chr. 3) and 1q42 (mouse chr. 11) - the major cluster tends to colocalize with Cajal bodies (functional link isn‘t well understood) histone type cluster gene nomenclature family member HIST1H2AG older nomenclature and synonyms can be clarified at the GNF Symatlas and NCBI webpages Marzluff 2002

  24. Expression of core histones cell-cycle dependent http://www.unc.edu/depts/marzluff/research.html specific 3‘ end processing CPSF-73 http://www.reactome.org/cgi-bin/eventbrowser?DB=gk_current&ID=77588&

  25. Mammalian core histone variants H2A.X - estimated to make 10% of nuclear H2A in mammals - rapidly phosphorylated in a response to DNA damage CENP-A (variant of histone 3, Cid in Drosophila) - found at centromeric regions macroH2A - enriched on the inactive X chromosome H2A.Z - possibly involved in initial steps of gene activation in euchromatin H3.3 - deposited within chromatin independent on DNA replication - enriched at sites of transcription - accumulates in non-cycling cells H3.1 - synthesized and deposited during S-phase H2A.Bbd - excluded from the inactive X chromosome - H2A.Bbd histone octamer organizes only approximately 130 bp of DNA

  26. Protamines - non-histone replacement in sperms Braun 2001

  27. Methods to study chromatin – Immunofluorescence I • - Small resolution on mammalian chromosomes • useful of analysis of large domains (centomeres, rDNA arrays …) and global protein distribution • IF and FISH combination - colokalization B C A 349 350 HA 349 CENP-A UBF UBF 349 Merge Merge Merge HEK293

  29. Methods to study chromatin – Chromatin IP • good resolution (typically 0.5 - 1.0 kb) • useful for analysisof individual genes, promoters • genome-scale analysis nowadays possible • relatively expensive tips and tricks • Detection: • qPCR • promoter/tiling microarray = ChIP-Chip • deep sequencing = ChIP-Seq
