The document discusses the organization and packaging of human DNA within chromosomes. It describes how DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which further compact to form 30nm chromatin fibers. These fibers then loop and fold at increasing levels of organization, ultimately forming condensed metaphase chromosomes approximately 700nm wide that contain the entire human genome in a highly packaged form within cell nuclei.

3. FACTS ABOUT DNA..!
• DNA stores all the information that makes up
an organism.
• DNA are made up of four building
blocks,which are- cytosine(C), Thymine(T),
Guanine (G) and adenine(A).
• Each DNA strand is about 1.8 meters long
but squeezed into a space of 0.09
micrometers.
• 99.9% of DNA is identical in all humans on this
Earth. The remaining 0.1% is what helps us to
differentiate between DNA sequences
allowing us to tell which DNA belongs to whom.
• Human DNA is 95% identical to DNA of
chimpanzees and interestingly it is 50%
identical to the DNA of the banana.
4. CHROMOSOME
• Individual
eukaryotic
chromosome
contain enormous
amount of DNA.
• For all of these
DNA to fit into the
nucleus,
tremendous
packaging and
folding are
required.
• The chromosomes
are in an elongated,
relatively
uncondensed state
during interphase
of the cell cycle.
MEIOSIS
MITOSIS
5. The Eukaryotic Chromosome
• The haploid chromosome
complement, or genome,
of a human contains
about 1000mm of DNA
(or 2000mm per diploid
cell).
• This meter of DNA is
subdivided among 23 pair
chromosomes.
• Chromosomes are of
variable shape and size.
• Depending on shape and
size, each chromosome
contain approximately 15
to 85mm of DNA.
6. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF
EUKARYOTIC CHROMOSOME
• DNA is closely associated with proteins,
creating chromatin.
• The two basic types of chromatins are:
-Euchromatin ,which undergoes the normal
process of condensation and decondensation
in the cell cycle.
-Heterochromatin , which remain in a highly
condensed state throughout the cell , even
during interphase.
7. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF
EUKARYOTIC CHROMOSOME
• Chemical analysis of isolated chromatin shows
that it consists primarily of DNA and proteins
with lesser amount of RNA.
• The proteins are of two major classes:
o Basic (positively charged at neutral pH) proteins
called histones.
o A heterogenous , largely acidic (negatively
charged at neutral pH) group of proteins
collectively referred to as non-histone
chromosomal proteins.
8. HISTONES
• Histones are found in the
nucleus of the eukaryotic
cell.
• Histones play a major
structural role in
chromatin.
• They are present in the
chromatin of all eukaryotes
in amounts equivalent to
the amount of DNA.
• This relationship suggests
an interaction occurs
between histones and DNA
that is conserved in
eukaryotes.
9. HISTONES • Four of the five
types of histones
are specifically
complexed with
DNA to produce
the basic structural
subunits of
chromatin, small
(approximately
11nm in diameter by
6nm high)
ellipsoidal beads
called nucleosome.
11. • The histones are basic.
• Because they contain 20% to 30% arginine
and lysine, two positively charged amino
acids.
• The exposed –NH3
+ groups on histones are
important in their interaction with the DNA,
which is polyanionic because of the negatively
charged phosphate group.
12. THE NUCLEOSOME
• The basic repeating unit
of chromatin.
• It provides the lowest
level of compaction of
double-stranded DNA
into the cell nucleus.
• In an electron
microscope, isolated
chromatin frequently
looks like “beads on a
string”.
13.
14. NUCLEOSOMES
• Nucleosome is a core
particle consisting of DNA
wrapped about two times
around the octamer of
eight histone proteins (two
copies each of H2A, H2B,
H3 and H4) and H1 as
linker DNA.
• The DNA in direct contact
with the histone octamer is
between 145bp to 147bp.
• The DNA coils around the
histones in left-handed
direction, and is
supercoiled.
15. NUCLEOSOME
• The tail of the histone
molecules protude from
the nucleosome and are
accessible to enzymes
that add and remove
chemical groups such as
methyl and acetyl
groups.
• The addition of these
group can change the
level of expression of
genes packaged in
nucleosome containing
modified histones.
16. THE FIFTH TYPE OF HISTONE, H1
• H1, histone, is not a part
of the core particle.
• It plays an important role
in the nucleosome
structure.
• The precise location of
H1 with respect to the
core particle is still
uncertain.
• In general view, H1 sits
outside the octamer and
binds to the DNA where
the DNA joins and leaves
the octamer.
17. H1, HISTONE
• However, recent
experiment suggest
that the H1 histones
sits inside the coils
of the nucleosome.
• Regardless of its
position, H1 helps to
lock the DNA into
place, acting as
clamp around the
nucleosome octamer.
18. CHROMATOSOME
• Together, the core
particle and its
associated H1 histone
are are called
chromatosome, the next
level of chromatin
organization.
• The H1 protein is
attached to between 20
and 22bp of DNA, and
the nucleosome
encompasses an
additional 145 to 147bp
of DNA; so about 167bp
of DNA are held within
the chromatosome.
19. CHROMATOSOME
• Chromatosome are
located at regular
intervals along the
DNA molecules
• They are separated
from one another by
linker DNA , which
varies in size among
the cell types.
• Non-histone
chromosomal protein
maybe associated
with this linker DNA
and a few also appear
to bind directly to
the core particles.
21. SCAFFOLD PROTEINS
• Scaffold means -
to provide or support
with a raised frame-
work or platform.
• A protein whose main
function is to bring
other proteins
together for them to
interact.
22. SCAFFOLD PROTEINS
• Chromatin is treated with a
concentrated salt solution.
• It removes histones and most of the
other chromosomal proteins,
• Leaving a “skeleton” to which DNA was
attached, known as scaffold proteins.
• These scaffold proteins play a role in
the folding and packaging of
chromosome.
23. SCAFFOLD PROTEINS
• Histone-depleted chromosomes
were studied in the electron
microscope.
• Results show that:
• the histone-depleted
chromosomes consist of a
scaffold or core, which has the
shape characteristic of a
metaphase chromosome,
surrounded by a halo of DNA;
• the halo consists of many loops
of DNA, each anchored in the
scaffold at its base;
• most of the DNA exists in
loops at least 10-30 µm long
(30-90 kilobases).
25. HIGHER-ORDER CHROMATIN
STRUCTURE
• The first level of condensation involves packaging DNA
as a negative supercoil into nucleosomes , to produce
the 10nm interphase chromatin fiber. This clearly
involves an octamer of histone molecules, two each of
histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4.
• In chromosomes, adjacent nucleosome are not
separated by space equal to the length of the linker
DNA.
• Rather nucleosomes fold on themselves to form a 30nm
dense, tightly packed structure.
• The next-higher level of chromatin structure is a series
of loop of 30nm fibres, each anchored at its base by
proteins in the nuclear scaffold.
26. Nucleosome fold on themselves to form a
dense fibre of 30nm in diameter.
27. HIGHER-ORDER CHROMATIN STRUCTURE
• On average, each loop encompasses some 20,000 to
100,000bp of DNA and is about 300nm in length,
but the individual loop vary considerably.
• The 300nm fibres are packed and folded to
produce a 250nm wide fibre.
• Tight helical coiling of the 250nm fiber, in turn,
produces the structure that appears in metaphase:
an individual chromatid approximately 700nm in
width.
28.
29. METAPHASE
• Metaphase chromosomes are
the most condensed of
normal eukaryotic
chromosome.
• The role these highly
condensed chromosomes is to
organize and pack the giant
DNA molecules of
eukaryotic chromosomes into
structures that will facilitate
their seggregation to
daughter nuclei without the
DNA molecules of different
chromosomes becoming
entangled.
30. METAPHASE
• There is evidence that
the gross structure of
metaphase chromosomes
is not dependent on
histones.
• Electron micrographs of
isolated metaphase
chromosome from which
the histones have been
removed revealed a
scaffold, which is
surrounded by huge pool
of DNA.
• This chromosome must
be composed of non-
histone chromosomal
protein.
31. CONCLUSION
• Each DNA strand is about 1.8 meters long but squeezed into a
space of 0.09 micrometers.
• Individual eukaryotic chromosome contain enormous amount of DNA.
• The packaging of eukaryotic DNA is not static.
• Eukaryotic chromosomes are made up two major types of proteins-
basic and largely acidic.
• Histones are of five types- H1, H2a, H2b, H3 and H4.
• Two units of each histone proteins wrapped by DNA, except H1,
forms the nucleosome.
• Nucleosome along with H1 forms the chromatosome.
• Each chromatosome is attached by linker DNA.
• They coil round to form a 30nm wide fibre, that forms loop
averaging from 300nm in length.
• The 300nm fibre are further compressed and folded to form
250nm wide fibre.
• Tight coiling of the 250nm fibre forms chromatids of
chromosomes.
