Chromatin structure of adenovirus DNA throughout infection
For more than half a century, researchers have studied the basic biology of Adenovirus (Ad), unraveling the subtle, yet profound, interactions between the virus and the host. These studies have uncovered previously unknown proteins and pathways crucial for normal cell function that the virus manipulates to achieve optimal virus replication and gene expression. In the infecting virion, the viral...
متن کاملOrganization of DNA in chromatin ( chromatin structure / intercalation / DNA - kinking )
Conformational changes in DNA that accompany drug intercalation have led us to ask if DNA first bends or "kinks" to accept an intercalative drug or dye. Kinking is made possible by altering the normal C2' endo deoxyribose sugar ring puckering in B DNA to a mixed sugarpuckering pattern of the type C3' endo (3'-5') C2' endo and partially unstacking base-pairs. A kinking scheme such as this would ...
متن کاملAnalysis of chromatin integrity and DNA damage of buffalo spermatozoa
This study was conducted to determine chromatin integrity and DNA damage by DNA electrophoresis and comet assays of buffalo fresh and frozen semen. Semen samples were collected from four buffalo bulls and evaluated after freezing for semen motility, viability, sperm abnormalities, chromatin integrity and DNA damage. A significant variation was found in semen parameters after thawing. Highly sig...
متن کاملStructure-function relationships of the adenovirus DNA-binding protein.
The M, = 72,000 adenovirus-coded DNA-binding protein is required for viral DNA replication and is involved in virus transcription and transformation. This protein, as isolated from infected cells, is a phosphoprotein with extensive charge heterogeneity. Between 9 and 11 distinct charged species of this protein were detected by isoelectric focusing. Treatment of the protein with alkaline phospha...
متن کاملStructure of transcribed chromatin is a sensor of DNA damage
Early detection and repair of damaged DNA is essential for cell functioning and survival. Although multiple cellular systems are involved in the repair of single-strand DNA breaks (SSBs), it remains unknown how SSBs present in the nontemplate strand (NT-SSBs) of DNA organized in chromatin are detected. The effect of NT-SSBs on transcription through chromatin by RNA polymerase II was studied. NT...
