EPIGENETICS and GENE EXPRESSION A-level Biology. How methyl and acetyl groups control transcription

Epigenetics is the heritable change in gene function, without changing the DNA base sequence. Learn the impact of methylation and acetylation on inhibiting and initiating transcription (turning genes on and off).
Learn how epigenetics can lead to cancer.

    Most people know nothing about molecular biology. This is not a video for the general public, but, rather, for that small percentage of the population who has the background knowledge to understand the subject matter.

    3:57 is there a mistake because it says transcription is going to be hard as there are stronger association of dan and histone but then you say the exact opposite?

    hi I was wondering , if there’s decreased acetylation of histones does that make then bind to DNA Mir tightly or do they bind loosely ?? :)

  • @tania-vq8di

    i think they bind more tightly due to stronger association!

    More tightly. The less acetylation, the more methylation.

    @@MissEstruchBiology words such as Methyl. We give it an "eh" sound, whereas you place your accent on the "e". It is difficult to explain in writing. While I have your ear, if I wanted to convert a virus into a retrovirus, would I need to create an operon to code for my Integrase, Protease, and Reverse Transcriptase? It would seem I would need to insert an operator to allow repression until these enzymes are translated and ready to carry out their functions.

    Summary: Adding a methyl group to the tail (methylation) maintains the positive charge, making DNA more coiled and reducing transcription. Methyl group isn't positive. Adding an acetyl group to the tail (acetylation) neutralises the charge, making DNA less tightly coiled and increasing transcription.

    The acetyl group is not negative. It just masks the positive charge of histones. Anyway, your videos are awesome.

    Glad you liked the video. Thanks for your point. For AQA that is the accepted the level of detail. As is often that case with science, GCSE and A-levels are taught at a particular level rather than all the exact details to prevent the courses becoming waaayyy to detailed and too high a standard.
