2 Overview What is epigenetics? Chromatin The epigenetic code
3 What is epigenetics? the interactions of genes with their environment, which bring the phenotype into being (Conrad Waddington, 1942, Endeavour, 1: 18) the study of mitotically and/or meiotically heritable changes in gene function that cannot be explained by changes in DNA sequence (Art Riggs, 1996, in Epigenetic chanisms of Gene Regulation, CSHLP) the structural adaptation of chromosomal regions so as to register, signal or perpetuate altered activity states (Adrian Bird, 2007, Nature, 447: 396)
4 What is epigenetics? Intrinsic to development Reversible Involved in cancer & other complex diseases Encoded in chromatin

6 Epigenetics is mediated by chromatin P P C G P P G C P P thylated Functional DNA RNA Modified & variant Histones Chromatin remodellers Feinberg, R (2008) Nature 454:

10 Histone tail modifications: thylated (H3K9me3) = inactive how they can influence function Histone H3 Lysine 9 =H3K9 Covalent histone tail modifications Adapted from Felsenfeld & Groudine, 2003
11 H3K43 Histone tail modifications: how they can influence function Covalent histone tail modifications H3K27me3 Adapted from Felsenfeld & Groudine, 2003
12 The epigenetic code: sequence-specific signals, writers, marks, readers & erasers
13 Sequence-specific factors (signals) e.g. ncrna, transcription factors, bind to DNA.
14 Epigenetic modifiers (writers) e.g. methyltransferases) recruited. Epigenetic marks written.

18 Epigenetic modifiers (writers) e.g. acetyl- & methyltransferases recruited. Epigenetic marks written.
19 Epigenetic modifiers (writers) e.g. acetyl- & methyltransferases recruited. Epigenetic marks written.
20 Epigenetic modifiers (writers) e.g. acetyl- & methyltransferases recruited. Epigenetic marks written.

25 Epigenetic modifiers (writers) e.g. acetyl- & methyltransferases recruited. Epigenetic marks written.
26 Sequence-specific factors (signals) can be lost without affecting the memory of the epigenetic marks
27 Epigenetic marks bound by readers (complexes of chromatin proteins, which determine structure & function). Readers
28 Epigenetic marks bound by readers (complexes of chromatin proteins, which determine structure & function). Readers

41 Epigenetic marks erased e.g by demethylases & deacetylases.
42 (redundancy in the system)
43 Summary of the epigenetic code Sequence-specific signals bind to DNA. Writers recognise these signals and add epigenetic marks. Epigenetic memory can be retained despite loss of the original signals. Readers bind to epigenetic marks and recruit macromolecular complexes. Erasers can remove these marks and associated macromolecular complexes.
