-
lyonization
- -inactivation of X chromosome
- -only seen with >1 X chromosome (NO MALES)
- - can happen at 2-10,000 cell stage, so females can be mosaics of both X chromosomes, depending when it was deactivated, ex X-linked anhidrotic dysplasia
-
karotype
an ordered display of all chromosomes from one cell
-
postition of centromere
meta- roughly the middle
submeta- uneven, shorter p arms than q arms
acro- centromere basically at top, all that is above the centromere are satellites (rDNA)
-
-
dark G bands (5)
- later replication
- fewer active genes
- more condensed
- higher A-T bp
- stain with quinacrine and light with R-banding
-
only viable trisomys
13,18,21, X and Y
-
-
acrocentric chromosomes
13, 14, 15, 21, 22
-
isochromosome
- chromosome with 2 identical arms
- can be partial monosomy or partial trisomy
-
ring chromosome formation
if a chromosome loses both telomeres (or double strand break on both ends) the ends will fuse and cause a circular chromosome
-
robertsonian translocation
- can cause a chromosome with 2 (or 0) centromeres (0 is lost)
- if have 2 centromeres, can still function as a single chromosome
-
early tx for downs syndrome
if thyroid levels are normalized early, symptoms can be helped
-
APP gene
on chromosome 21, is thought to be involved in early senility of Downs syndrome pts due to over expression
-
master controller of gender
- SRY on the Y chromosome
- if absent default p/w is female development
-
other genes that determine sexual phenotype
- SOX9 and AR
- -mutations will lead to expressionof female phenotype
-
true hemaphrodite
most are 46XX with an SRY translocation
-
chimera
fusing of 2 fetilized eggs to make a single organism
-
11-hydroxylase or 21- hydroxylase defeciencies
- - over production of androgens, due to blocked syn of corticosteroids
- -cause adrenogenital syndrome- female with virilized (man-like) characteristics
- -HYPO-Na and HYPER-K often seen
- - tx with cortisol (for feedback inhibition of ACTH from pituitary) and surgical reconstruction (later in life)
-
11-hydroxylase inactive, but 21-hydroxylase is partially active
can cause very high levels of deoxycorticosterone, which causes opposite Na and K problem
-
Androen Insensitivity syndrome
- 46, XY, externally and psychosocially female
- X-linked rec, androgen receptor defect
- "Male Intersex A"
- - no uterus,fallopian duct or wolfian structures and undescended testes
-
5 alpha-reductase defeciency
- 46, XY
- wolfian structures present, testes often undescended, hppospadia sometimes
- - no conversion of testosterone (less active) to dihydroxytestosterone (more active)
- -many raised as females until puberty
-
stimulation to move from G0 to G1
GF signal nucleus to turn on cyclin D, which binds Cdk4 and Cdk6 to activate them, which PO4 Rb causing it to release E2F
-
G1-S phase cyclin-Cdk
- cyclin E- Cdk2,
- cyclin E is upregulated by E2F after release from Rb-PO4
-
-
G2-M
- cyclin B- Cdk1- MPF
- cyclin A- Cdk1- progression thru G2
-
CKI-p16
controls G1/S restriction by binding Cdk4/6 and preventing cycle progression
-
Rb
binds E2F preventing S phase progression, when PO4 by Cdk4/6/cyclin D, it will release E2F, which then upregulates cyclin E allowing progression to S phase
-
mitosis promoting factor
- MPF= Cdk1/cyclin Bwill move cell cycle into mitosis phase
- *activity related to [cyclin A] and [cyclin B]*
-
Cdc25
- phosphatase that removes inhibitory PO4 from Cdk1, to allow progression into M phase
- -if DNA is damaged Cdc25 is inactivated, arresting the cell cycle
-
WEE1
will PO4 Cdk/cyclin inactiving them. Cdc25 has opposite affect
-
seperase
- removes cohesion allowing sister chromatids to be pulled apart (anaphase)
- _must be dePO4 by Cdc20 to be activated
-
APC
- a ubiquitin ligase
- -Cdc20 dePO4 to activate it
- -ubiquitinates cyclin B
-
3 major technologies that made recomb DNA possible
- -restriction endonucleases
- -cloning capability (amplification)
- - probes (for ID)
-
palindrome sequence
- same sequence when read 5'-3' or 3'-5' on both strands
- -target of restiction endonucleases
- - methylation will protect pallindromes from RE
-
3 things that need to be included in a vector if you want bacteria to express(make proteins) the gene of interest
- -5' promoter
- - Shine-Dalgarno is correct place in 5' UTR (so start codon places in the P-site
- -termination sequence placed after the gene
-
ASO probes
- allele specific probes
- -can be used to target specific alleles of a gene, which can be used to determine if a patient has a mutant gene and whether they are homo or heterozygoud for it.
-
penetrance
% of those with the allele that will show the phenotype
-
sex limited
influence traits of one sex or traits influenced by sex hormones
-
variable expressivity
difference in age of onset or severity for a seemingly identical genotype
-
heterogenicity
- different alleles at the same locus produce different diseases
- -can be different alleles that cause the same nonfunctional gene in different ways
-
pleiotropy
-mutation of one gene having >1 effect or >1 physiological system effected
-
3 controls of the cell cycle
- - anchorage
- -contact inhibition
- - mitogen cofactor dep't
