Summary The book contains the substance of the lectures and partly of the practices of the subject of ‘Genetics and Genomics’ held in Semmelweis University for medical, pharmacological and dental students. The book does not contain basic genetics and molecular biology, but rather topics from human genetics mainly from medical point of views. Some of the 15 chapters deal with medical genetics, but the chapters also introduce to the basic knowledge of cell division, cytogenetics, epigenetics, developmental genetics, stem cell biology, oncogenetics, immunogenetics, population genetics, evolution genetics, nutrigenetics, and to a relative new subject, the human genomics and its applications for the study of the genomic background of complex diseases, pharmacogenomics and for the investigation of the genome environmental interactions. As genomics belongs to sytems biology, a chapter introduces to basic terms of systems biology, and concentrating on diseases, some examples of the application and utilization of this scientific field are also be shown. The modern human genetics can also be associated with several ethical, social and legal issues. The last chapter of this book deals with these issues.

  • Mitosis Vs. Meiosis
    Mitosis vs. Meiosis In order for organisms to continue growing and/or replace cells that are dead or beyond repair, cells must replicate, or make identical copies of themselves. In order to do this and maintain the proper number of chromosomes, the cells of eukaryotes must undergo mitosis to divide up their DNA. The dividing of the DNA ensures that both the “old” cell (parent cell) and the “new” cells (daughter cells) have the same genetic makeup and both will be diploid, or containing the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. For reproduction of an organism to occur, the original parent cell will undergo Meiosis to create 4 new daughter cells with a slightly different genetic makeup in order to ensure genetic diversity when fertilization occurs. The four daughter cells will be haploid, or containing half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The difference between the two processes is that mitosis occurs in non-reproductive cells, or somatic cells, and meiosis occurs in the cells that participate in sexual reproduction, or germ cells. The Somatic Cell Cycle (Mitosis) The somatic cell cycle consists of 3 phases: interphase, m phase, and cytokinesis. 1. Interphase: Interphase is considered the non-dividing phase of the cell cycle. It is not a part of the actual process of mitosis, but it readies the cell for mitosis. It is made up of 3 sub-phases: • G1 Phase: In G1, the cell is growing. In most organisms, the majority of the cell’s life span is spent in G1. • S Phase: In each human somatic cell, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes; one chromosome comes from the mother and one comes from the father.

  • Cell Division- Ch 5
    Cell Division- Mitosis and Meiosis When do cells divide? Cell size . One of most important factors affecting size of the cell is size of cell membrane . Cell must remain relatively small to survive (why?) – Cell membrane has to be big enough to take in nutrients and eliminate wastes – As cells get bigger, the volume increases faster than the surface area – Small cells have a larger surface area to volume ratio than larger cells to help with nutrient intake and waste elimination . When a cell reaches its max size, the nucleus starts cell division: called MITOSIS or MEIOSIS Mitosis . General Information – Occurs in somatic (body) cells ONLY!! – Nickname: called “normal” cell division – Produces somatic cells only . Background Info – Starts with somatic cell in DIPLOID (2n) state . Cell contains homologous chromosomes- chromosomes that control the same traits but not necessarily in the same way . 1 set from mom and 1 set from dad – Ends in diploid (2n) state as SOMATIC cells – Goes through one set of divisions – Start with 1 cell and end with 2 cells Mitosis (cont.) . Accounts for three essential life processes – Growth . Result of cell producing new cells . Develop specialized shapes/functions in a process called differentiation . Rate of cell division controlled by GH (Growth Hormone) which is produced in the pituitary gland . Ex. Nerve cell, intestinal cell, etc. – Repair . Cell regenerates at the site of injury . Ex. Skin (replaced every 28 days), blood vessels, bone Mitosis (cont.) – Reproduction . Asexual – Offspring produced by only one parent – Produce offspring that are genetically identical – MITOSIS – Ex. Bacteria, fungi, certain plants and animals .

  • Overview of Meiosis
    Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis Chapter 11 Overview of Meiosis Meiosis is a form of cell division that leads to the production of gametes. gametes: egg cells and sperm cells -contain half the number of chromosomes of an adult body cell Adult body cells (somatic cells) are diploid, containing 2 sets of chromosomes. Gametes are haploid, containing only 1 set of chromosomes. 2 Overview of Meiosis Sexual reproduction includes the fusion of gametes (fertilization) to produce a diploid zygote. Life cycles of sexually reproducing organisms involve the alternation of haploid and diploid stages. Some life cycles include longer diploid phases, some include longer haploid phases. 3 1 4 5 6 2 7 Features of Meiosis Meiosis includes two rounds of division – meiosis I and meiosis II. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (homologues) become closely associated with each other. This is synapsis. Proteins between the homologues hold them in a synaptonemal complex. 8 9 3 Features of Meiosis Crossing over: genetic recombination between non-sister chromatids -physical exchange of regions of the chromatids chiasmata: sites of crossing over The homologues are separated from each other in anaphase I. 10 Features of Meiosis Meiosis involves two successive cell divisions with no replication of genetic material between them. This results in a reduction of the chromosome number from diploid to haploid. 11 12 4 The Process of Meiosis Prophase I: -chromosomes coil tighter -nuclear envelope dissolves -homologues become closely associated in synapsis -crossing over

  • Centrioles and the Formation of Rudimentary Cilia by Fibroblasts and Smooth Muscle Cells
    CENTRIOLES AND THE FORMATION OF RUDIMENTARY CILIA BY FIBROBLASTS AND SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS SERGEI SOROKIN, M.D. From the Department of Anatomy, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts ABSTRACT Cells from a variety of sources, principally differentiating fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells from neonatal chicken and mammalian tissues and from organ cultures of chicken duodenum, were used as materials for an electron microscopic study on the formation of rudimentary cilia. Among the differentiating tissues many cells possessed a short, solitary cilium, which projected from one of the cell's pair of centrioles. Many stages evidently intermediate in the fashioning of cilium from centriole were encountered and furnished the evidence from which a reconstruction of ciliogenesis was attempted. The whole process may be divided into three phases. At first a solitary vesicle appears at one end of a centriole. The ciliary bud grows out from the same end of the centriole and invaginates the sac, which then becomes the temporary ciliary sheath. During the second phase the bud lengthens into a shaft, while the sheath enlarges to contain it. Enlargement of the sheath is effected by the repeated appearance of secondary vesicles nearby and their fusion with the sheath. Shaft and sheath reach the surface of the cell, where the sheath fuses with the plasma membrane during the third phase. Up to this point, formation of cilia follows the classical descriptions in outline. Subsequently, internal development of the shaft makes the rudi- mentary cilia of the investigated material more like certain non-motile centriolar derivatives than motile cilia. The pertinent literature is examined, and the cilia are tentatively assigned a non-motile status and a sensory function.

  • Mitosin/CENP-F in Mitosis, Transcriptional Control, and Differentiation
    Journal of Biomedical Science (2006) 13: 205–213 205 DOI 10.1007/s11373-005-9057-3 Mitosin/CENP-F in mitosis, transcriptional control, and differentiation Li Ma1,2, Xiangshan Zhao1 & Xueliang Zhu1,* 1Laboratory of Molecular Cell Biology, Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, 200031, China; 2Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100039, China Ó 2006 National Science Council, Taipei Key words: differentiation, kinetochore, mitosis, transcription Summary Mitosin/CENP-F is a large nuclear/kinetochore protein containing multiple leucine zipper motifs poten- tially for protein interactions. Its expression levels and subcellular localization patterns are regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Recently, accumulating lines of evidence have suggested it a multifunctional protein involved in mitotic control, microtubule dynamics, transcriptional regulation, and muscle cell differentiation. Consistently, it is shown to interact directly with a variety of proteins including CENP-E, NudE/Nudel, ATF4, and Rb. Here we review the current progress and discuss possible mechanisms through which mitosin may function. Mitosin, also named CENP-F, was initially iden- acid residues (GenBank Accession No. CAH73032) tified as a human autoimmune antigen [1, 2] and [3]. The gene expression is cell cycle-dependent, as an in vitro binding protein of the tumor suppressor the mRNA levels increase following S phase Rb [3, 4]. Its dynamic temporal expression and progression and peak in early M phase [3]. Such modification patterns as well as ever-changing patterns are regulated by the Forkhead transcrip- spatial distributions following the cell cycle pro- tion factor FoxM1 [5].
