Epigenetic Control Systems.
Advances in chemical genetics in the past few years have permitted the formulation of a consistent hypothesis concerning the chemical nature of the "primary" genetic material.1 This material is considered to consist of nucleic acid (usually deoxyribosenucleic acid) and to contain genetic information in a code of prescribed nucleotide sequences. The information is believed to be preserved during...
متن کاملGenetic and epigenetic control of several isozymic systems in Tetrahymena.
One of the important goals of biology today is knowledge of the intracellular organization and its relationship to cell function, not only at one time or under one set of environmental conditions, bu t also a t different times and under changing environmental conditions. One of the ways this relationship has been pursued is by analysis of factors which control the specificity and activity of en...
متن کاملOncogenic epigenetic control
contributes significantly to the fidelity of biological control. Compromised epigenetic pathways have now been shown to provide indications of transformation and tumor progression; they suggest potential targets for cancer prevention and intervention [1]. A formidable challenge is to deconvolute the complexity and plasticity of histone modifications associated with tumorigenesis. Although chall...
متن کاملVirus Control Goes Epigenetic
Cells have developed a number of mechanisms to detect and suppress microbial infections. The use of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is one such mechanism. PRRs may be expressed on the cell surface, in the cytosol, or in the endosomes, to detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or the danger signals released by damaged cells (i.e., damage-associated molecular patterns; DAMPs)....
متن کاملEpigenetic control of immunity.
Immunity relies on the heterogeneity of immune cells and their ability to respond to pathogen challenges. In the adaptive immune system, lymphocytes display a highly diverse antigen receptor repertoire that matches the vast diversity of pathogens. In the innate immune system, the cell's heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity enable flexible responses to changes in tissue homeostasis caused by ...
