What is histone mRNA?

Histone mRNA is a type of messenger RNA (mRNA) that carries the genetic information for the synthesis of histone proteins. Unlike typical mRNAs, histone mRNAs lack a poly-A tail and are rapidly degraded after histone protein synthesis is complete. They play a crucial role in packaging DNA into chromatin structure.

What does the term 'histone acetylation' means?

Histones are proteins that organize DNA in the chromatin of eukaryotes (cells that have membrane enclosed nuclei). Acetylation means the introduction of acetyl group to a molecule. In essence, Histone Acetylation removes the positive charge on the histones which, in turn, causes a decrease in the interaction with negatively charged phosphates in DNA.


What is the diameter of the DNA molecule?

The diameter of the alpha helix structure of DNA is 2nm, the diameter after having wrapped around the first histone is 11nm. That string wraps around another histone forming a 30nm chain, and so forth until you reach the chromasomal structure of roughly 700nm.


DNA is wrapped around a special protein?

The DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which then coil up to form chromatin. This complex helps package the long DNA molecule into a more compact structure, which allows it to fit inside the cell nucleus.


Known as one DNA molecule stretched out?

A stretched out DNA molecule is referred to as chromatin. Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes, and consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. It is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
