Rätsel gelöst: Wie Gene gezielt abgeschaltet werden

(PresseBox) (Heidelberg, )
Zellen müssen sparsam haushalten. Deshalb lesen sie nur diejenigen Gene ab, die gerade benötigt werden. Die übrigen werden chemisch markiert und dadurch gezielt stillgelegt. Wissenschaftler im Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum entdecken erstmals, wie diese Markierungen an genau die richtige Stelle im Erbgut platziert werden. Entscheidende Mitspieler sind regulatorische RNA-Moleküle. Deren Sequenz passt genau zum Erbgutbereich, der markiert werden soll. RNA und DNA bilden an dieser Stelle eine zopfartige Dreifach-Helix, die als Wegweiser für die Markierungen dient.

Unser Erbgut wird oft mit einem Buch verglichen. Allerdings gleicht es nicht einem Roman, der am Stück zu lesen ist, sondern eher einem Kochbuch: Die Mlgdi upufc tpxvb eei hpyibxvspf Pvndwxh, rgs rmfeug ufhovixfss rdbrng ohikzl.
