  • Paul Andersen explains the concepts of genetics. He starts with a brief discussion of the nature vs. nurture debate and shows how epigenetics blurs this distinction. He explains how differentiation of cell types results from the inactivation of certain genes. He describes the three processes of epigenetics: DNA methylation, Histone acteylation and microRNA.

    Hi Mr. Anderson,
    Thank you so much for making these videos! They are very helpful. One question here: the addition of a methyl group to cytosine causes the DNA to lose its affinity to its DNA binding proteins such as transcription factors at that site. Since transcription initiation requires two types of transcription factors (one bind to the TATA box and the other bind to the various regulatory sites of particular genes) to bind to a gene, the transcription factors can no longer bind to the methylated region, which means no mRNA can be formed, hence no polypeptides will be translated? Thank you in advance!

    Cells know where they are in the embryo because of protein gradients. The fertilized egg has proteins that are highest in concentration at one end of the cell and lowest at the other end. When the cell divides, one of the daughters will have less of the protein (the one from the end of the egg at the low concentration side of the gradient) and the other will have more of the protein. These proteins are usually transcription factors, that will turn on new gradients.

    People who become overweight and developed Type 2 Diabetes change their epigenetics, while in Type 1 Diabetes there is nothing you can do to prevent it or induce it.

    There's one thing I am confused about. So if the histones are wrapped around our genes, and say you become a smoker (but no one in your family tree extending hundreds of years smoked) and the chemical tag is added to the histones to make that gene become 'expressed', does that mean that the 'smoker gene' is predetermined? In other words, will I have a 'smoking gene' by default that is turned off, but will only be turned on if I smoke?

  • @WorthlessWinner
    @WorthlessWinner 11 років тому

    I don't think we've got enough data to answer those question yet. "Molecular Signals of Epigenetic States" is a good paper on this. If a mark is there, we know how it is maintained. How it's established is less known. Double stranded RNA (often from repetitive sequences that fold back on themselves) directs proteins to silence sequences complimentary to the dsRNA by marking histones and methylating the DNA. Proteins or RNA inherited in the cytoplasm can also direct the initial silencing.

    Very good quick video, thank you! Just one queston, can anyone please explain the mechanism by which certain cells determine which portions of the DNA to methylate and which lysine amino acids are acetylated. I find it very interesting how different cell type can identify which portion of the DNA gets unreadable. For example, in a heart cell, how is it determined which portion of the DNA gets methylated and which portion of the histones get acetylated so that only heart cell DNA is expresed? Thank you!!!

    @Kram1032 11 років тому +1

    How do cells make sure that only the right bits are switched on or off? - in both systems.
    Also, how do you inherit such switches from your parents? Last time I heard this, you could have a transfer of some such traits by your mother easily but father-side epigenetic traits don't transfer. Is this incorrect?

  • @travelingspirit9381

    methylation can activate and also deactivate genes depending on place of methylation and degree of methylation. H3 K4 methylation is activation mark . H3 K9 is deactivation mark of genes.

    It's hard to simplify this issue the way you do to something as understandable as this video. The heritability (through meiosis) of epigenetic marks isn't well established.
    New methods will give us a lot more info on epigenetics soon enough. I like how so many disparate mechanisms work together to regulate so many different processes. Differences in epigenetics between species make it hard to teach. Maybe some general principles (like a histone code) will come out of further research?
