Theoretical Analysis of the Stress Induced B-Z Transition in Superhelical DNA
We present a method to calculate the propensities of regions within a DNA molecule to transition from B-form to Z-form under negative superhelical stresses. We use statistical mechanics to analyze the competition that occurs among all susceptible Z-forming regions at thermodynamic equilibrium in a superhelically stressed DNA of specified sequence. This method, which we call SIBZ, is similar to ...
متن کاملCarbodiimide modification of superhelical PM2 DNA: considerations regarding reaction at unpaired bases and the unwinding of superhelical DNA with chemical probes.
Superhelical PM2 DNA I can be modified with N-cyclohexyl-N'-beta-(4-methylmorpholinium)ethyl carbodiimide (CMC). The transition of the sedimentation coefficient uncorrected for buoyant density change (S20,*) vs. % reactivity in terms of base pairs shows the following characteristics. The S20,* increases by 4.5 S units upon 1% modification. There is a plateau in S20,* between 1 and 4% reactivity...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans DNA does not contain 5-methylcytosine at any time during development or aging.
DNA, isolated from age-synchronous senescent populations of Caenorhabditis elegans has been quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed for the presence of 5-methylcytosine. High performance liquid chromatography on two wild-type and several mutant strains of C. elegans failed to detect any 5-methylcytosine. The restriction endonuclease isoschizomers, HpaII and MspI, were used to digest genomic D...
متن کاملHow Much Mathematics Is Hardwired, If Any at All
The investigation of mathematical cognition in developmental psychology has been primarily confined to the study of numerical cognition— basic facts involving quantity, such as the acquisition of number words and some competences for numerical estimation and calculation. But mathematics is much more than simple counting numbers and basic arithmetic. Mathematics, seen by many as the queen of sci...
متن کاملRibonuclease M5 has few, if any, mRNA substrates in Bacillus subtilis.
In Bacillus subtilis, maturation of 5S rRNA is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNase M5. We searched for potential mRNA substrates for RNase M5 by gene array technology, based on the premise that most endonucleolytic cleavages have an effect on the stability of RNA and hence on steady-state levels of expression. Only a handful of genes had significantly altered expression in rnmV mutants compared...
