Lecture 10 Genes, genomes and chromosomes Repeated and transposable elements What if microstates are occupied unequally? How to write the entropy?

Related and structurally similar species may have variation in the amount of their total DNA by a factor of 100 In humans: ~5% of DNA is transcribed and 1.5% represents coding regions (exons). The rest is made of repeats with no obvious function. Human Genome is ‘over-inflated’ What is gene? Not only the coding sequence, a bit more … - the entire nucleic acid sequence that is necessary for the synthesis of a functional gene product, polypeptide or RNA, both the coding and control sequences 5’ cap – 7-methylguanilate attached to mRNA 3’ Poly(A) site – allows cleavage by endonuclease and attachment of a poly(A) string (100-250 bases) by Poly(A) polymerase Cap site = region coding for “5’-cap structure” making ribosome-binding site, close to the starting AUG codon Poly(A) site – signals 3’ polyadenilation of mRNA Splice sites What mutations can do? Control regions, shared exons or alternate parts can be hit. Mutations d and e will complement each other, despite being in the same gene. Mutation c in the common exon will not complement any of the mutations. Density of coding regions varies in different species Genes can be SOLITARY (occur once per haploid genome) or form FAMILIES of DUPLICATED genes How does exon or gene duplication occur? L1 – homologous noncoding regions interspersed throughout the genome Duplication then can be followed by a sequence drift; divergence is driven by beneficial mutations resulting in functional refinement, as in b-globins (Ag and Gg genes code for embryonic versions having higher affinity to O2) Clusters of genes: transcription factors, kinases, GPCRs, immunoglobulins, … Duplication also generates pseudo genes (non-functional sequences resembling genes) L1 – homologous noncoding regions interspersed throughout the genome Up to 250 RNA polymerase complexes can be transcribing one gene simultaneously Tandemly repeated genes encode rRNAs, tRNAs and histones, the components utilized by cells in huge quantities Human Genome is ‘over-inflated’ Repetitious DNA Chromosome 16 stained by a fluorescent probe in-situ hybridized with a simple sequence locus Simple-sequence (satellite) DNA is typically represented by 14-500 bp repeats in tandems of 20-100 kb. Often occurs near centromeres or in telomeres. Microsatellite: 1-13 bp repeats (usually 1-4), tandems are less than 150 bp (sometimes occur within transcription units, causing diseases) Microsatellite is thought to have originated from back-slippage of the daughter strand on its template strand during DNA replication Simple sequence DNA is localized near telomeres in mouse chromosomes What’s the use of variable repeats? DNA fingerprinting Minisatellite: 15-100 bp repeats making 20-50 repeat units (1-5 kb regions) These regions are used in DNA fingerprinting Why does the length of minisatellite repeats vary? Southern blot of DNA taken from three individuals, cut with a restriction enzyme and hybridized with three different minisatellites as probes Mobile DNA = Transposable elements Present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes Considered to be endosymbiotic, selfish DNA, with no specific function for the host When transposition/duplication occurs in the germ line, it is inherited In somatic sells transposition may inactivate a tumor-suppressor gene causing cancer. Interspersed repeats (moderately repeated DNA) make up 45% of entire human DNA! Transposons were discovered in maze by Barbara McClintock in the 1940s. Two types of transposons Bacterial DNA transposons = IS elements (insertion sequences) About 20 different IS elements in E. coli Transposition is a rare event ~10-5 to 10-7/generation, the rate is finely tuned by evolution One or two enzymes are coded (Transposase) IS elements can insert into plasmids or lysogenic phages and thus can be transferred to other cells
