Genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying cell-surface variability in protozoa and fungi.
Eukaryotic microorganisms have evolved ingenious mechanisms to generate variability at their cell surface, permitting differential adherence, rapid adaptation to changing environments, and evasion of immune surveillance. Fungi such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the pathogen Candida albicans carry a family of mucin and adhesin genes that allow adhesion to various surfaces and tissues. Trypanos...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori and epigenetic mechanisms underlying gastric carcinogenesis.
Gastric carcinogenesis is a multistep process triggered by Helicobacter pylori and characterized by accumulation of molecular alterations. Two mechanisms are implicated in cancer-related molecular alterations: genetic and epigenetic. The former includes changes in the DNA sequence, the latter occurs without changes of DNA sequence. However, the most important difference between genetic and epig...
متن کاملVernalization - a cold-induced epigenetic switch.
Growth and development are modulated by environmental signals in many organisms. These signals are often perceived at one stage and 'remembered' until later in development. An increasingly well-understood example of this process in plants is provided by vernalization, which refers to the acquisition of the ability to flower after prolonged exposure to cold. In Arabidopsis thaliana, vernalizatio...
متن کاملGenetic and Epigenetic of Medullary Thyroid Cancer
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an infrequent calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine tumor that initiates from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Several genetic and epigenetic alterations are collaterally responsible for medullary thyroid carcinogenesis. In this review article, we shed light on all the genetic and epigenetic hallmarks of MTC. From the genetic perspective, RET, ...
متن کاملEPIGENETIC MECHANISMS UNDERLYING DIFFERENTIATION DURING MAMMALIAN EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT Gametogenesis
the DNA double helix, is organized into a complex chromatin structure with the assistance of histone and nonhistone proteins. As such, chromatin is the physiologically relevant form of eukaryotic genomes. While it is largely uncontested that different genetic compositions of individual species underlie their unique physiology and final morphology, chromatin provides an additional layer for dict...
