Aggregation of nucleosomes by divalent cations.
Conditions of precipitation of nucleosome core particles (NCP) by divalent cations (Ca(2+) and Mg(2+)) have been explored over a large range of nucleosome and cation concentrations. Precipitation of NCP occurs for a threshold of divalent cation concentration, and redissolution is observed for further addition of salt. The phase diagram looks similar to those obtained with DNA and synthetic poly...
متن کاملAnalysis of FtsZ assembly by light scattering and determination of the role of divalent metal cations.
FtsZ is an ancestral homologue of tubulin that polymerizes in a GTP-dependent manner. In this study, we used 90 degrees angle light scattering to investigate FtsZ polymerization. The critical concentration for polymerization obtained by this method is similar to that obtained by centrifugation, confirming that the light scattering is proportional to polymer mass. Furthermore, the dynamics of Ft...
متن کاملLipid bilayer – DNA interaction mediated by divalent metal cations: SANS and SAXD study
The structure of aggregates formed due to DNA interaction with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in presence of Ca and Zn is examined using smallangle synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SAXD) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). SAXD detected two structures: L condensed lamellar phase and L lamellar phase with DNA strands intercalated between the adjacent lipid bilayers, without regular p...
متن کاملTransmission of viruses to mosquito larvae mediated by divalent cations.
The two major groups of pathogenic viruses in mosquitoes are the occluded viruses, represented by baculoviruses and cypoviruses, and the non-occluded viruses, represented by the densoviruses and the iridoviruses. Baculoviruses, densoviruses, and iridoviruses are DNA viruses, while cypoviruses are the major group of RNA viruses reported from mosquitoes. Research on mosquito pathogenic viruses ha...
متن کاملCharge density of divalent metal cations determines RNA stability.
RNA molecules are exquisitely sensitive to the properties of counterions. The folding equilibrium of the Tetrahymena ribozyme is measured by nondenaturing gel electrophoresis in the presence of divalent group IIA metal cations. The stability of the folded ribozyme increases with the charge density (zeta) of the cation. Similar scaling is found when the free energy of the RNA folded in small and...
