Stable cruciform formation at inverted repeat sequences in supercoiled DNA.
This paper analyzes equilibrium superhelical cruciform formation in a topologial domain of DNA containing inverted repeat sequences. The cruciform conformation is shown to he stable when the molecule is sufficiently negatively supercoiled but not when it is positively supercoiled. For a particular sequence containing a single inverted repeat, onset of stability occurs at a degree of negative su...
متن کاملDIR: a novel DNA rearrangement associated with inverted repeats.
A novel DNA rearrangement has been characterised that is both a direct and inverted repeat. This rearrangement involves the 2-fold duplication of a plasmid sequence adjacent to the site of insertion of a long palindrome. The sequence of this rearrangement suggests that it has arisen by strand slippage from the leading to the lagging strand of the replication fork as a consequence of the presenc...
متن کاملDNA rearrangement mediated by inverted repeats.
Inverted repeats of DNA are widespread in the genomes of eukaryotes and prokaryotes and can mediate genome rearrangement. We studied rearrangement mediated by plasmid-borne inverted repeats in Escherichia coli. We show that inverted repeats can mediate an efficient and recA-independent recombination event. Surprisingly, the product of this recombination is not that of simple inversion between t...
متن کاملAn internal rearrangement in an Arabidopsis inverted repeat locus impairs DNA methylation triggered by the locus.
In plants, transcribed inverted repeats trigger RNA interference (RNAi) and DNA methylation of identical sequences. RNAi is caused by processing of the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) transcript into small RNAs that promote degradation of complementary RNA sequences. However, the signals for DNA methylation remain to be fully elucidated. The Arabidopsis tryptophan biosynthetic PAI genes provide an ...
متن کاملFormation of large palindromic DNA by homologous recombination of short inverted repeat sequences in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Large DNA palindromes form sporadically in many eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes and are often associated with amplified genes. The presence of a short inverted repeat sequence near a DNA double-strand break has been implicated in the formation of large palindromes in a variety of organisms. Previously we have established that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae a linear DNA palindrome is efficiently...
