9 Model of L1- / Aluretrotransposition TPRT: Target-site primed reverse transcription Integration in TTTT A (preference for AT-rich regions) 1/100 are full lengths (genome-wide average = 900bp) full-lengths L1 (n=6000) not active Gene mutation for L1-insertion LINE-1 products used for retrotransposition of SINEs, mrnas (-> processed pseudogenen) and retrogenes
10 Processed pseudogenes: defect copy of a gene consisting only of exons (no introns, no promoter sequences) retrotransposition
11 Retrogene: integration of cdna at a promoter + selection Testis-specific expression of intron-less retrogenes (copies of genes from the X-chr)

15 DNA is not naked in the cell basic unit of chromosomes = nucleosome Linker DNA (10 bp 60 bp)

22 Chromatin (structural) modifications play key roles in DNA-related processes A. Histone modifications: 1. Histone-modifying Chromatin modifications enzymes (N/C-tail are important posttranslational for DNA-related modification) processes: -DNA-transcription (gene expression/repression) -DNA-repair -DNA-replication -DNA-compaction -chromosome segregation 2. ATP-dependent chromatin-remodelling enzymes 3. Histone-variants Histone code B. DNA modification: DNA CpG methylation
23 Chromosomes ensure transport and integrity of genetic information Sister chromatids Microtubules Kinetochore Functional domains Origins of replication - replication of the genetic information once per cell cycle Telomeres - protect against degradation, fusion and recombination - complete end replication - chromosome movements - subtelomeric gene expression Centromere - correct segregation (capture microtubules) - chromosome movements
24 (1) Centromere A B Constitutive proteins are permanently associated with the centromere even during interphase, whereas facultative proteins are recruited only during mitosis to assemble the full kinetochore.
25 Centromeric DNA: Alpha-satellite or alphoid DNA at normal human chromosomes
26 Centromeric DNA: Alpha-satellite or alphoid DNA at normal human chromosomes
27 Centromeric DNA: Alpha-satellite or alphoid DNA at normal human chromosomes One alphoid higher order repeat can be : - specific for one chromomosome - occurring on different chromosomes Different alphoid higher order repeats can be co-existing on the same chromosome
28 Alpha-satellite DNA is not sufficient nor necessary for centromere function A. Pseudo-di-centric chromosomes B. Neo-centromeres without alpha-satellite DNA Centromere function is epigenetically regulated
29 Centromere DNA elements
30 Histone H3 variant CENP-A is the best candidate to carry the epigenetic centromere mark Localised centromeres Diffuse centromeres FEBS Letters 582 (2008)
31 CENP-A is found at active centromeres Current Opinion in Cell Biology 2008, 20:91 100

64 Tijdens profase I van meiose I worden chiasmata (genetische crossovers) gevormd. Profase I duurt bijgevolg lang en kan in verschillende stadia worden ingedeeld afhankelijk van de nucleus architectuur : homologe chromosomen aligneren, paren, gaan in synapsis en recombineren. Het DNA wordt hiertoe ondermeer opzettelijk beschadigd tijdens leptonema. De chromosomen zullen eveneens condenseren. 1.Leptonema 2.Zygonema 3.Pachynema 4.Diplonema SC DSB Genetic crossover 5.Diakinesis Bouquet formation DSB
