Abstract

Centromeres and telomeres are both composed of specific DNA sequences and unique chromosomal proteins. Isolation and characterization of some of these sequences and proteins has greatly increased our knowledge of centromere and telomere structure. This information is allowing us to determine how centromeres and telomeres perform their various roles in a cell

    What is heterochromatin formation?

    Heterochromatin formation is initiated at silencers that are composed of binding sites for sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. These DNA-binding proteins (together with Sir1 at the mating type loci) recruit the Sir complex, which then spreads across the entire locus.

    What are telomeres quizlet?

    A telomere is a region of. repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome. Telomere shortening occurs on the. Lagging strand of DNA during DNA replication.

    What is a telomere simple definition?

    (TEH-loh-meer) The ends of a chromosome. Each time a cell divides, the telomeres lose a small amount of DNA and become shorter. Over time, the chromosomes become damaged and the cells die. In cancer cells the telomeres do not get shorter, and may become longer, as the cells divide.

    Why does DNA form heterochromatin?

    Heterochromatin has been associated with several functions, from gene regulation to the protection of chromosome integrity; some of these roles can be attributed to the dense packing of DNA, which makes it less accessible to protein factors that usually bind DNA or its associated factors.
