Visualizing single-stranded nucleic acids in solution
Single-stranded nucleic acids (ssNAs) are ubiquitous in many key cellular functions. Their flexibility limits both the number of high-resolution structures available, leaving only a small number of protein-ssNA crystal structures, while forcing solution investigations to report ensemble averages. A description of the conformational distributions of ssNAs is essential to more fully characterize ...
متن کاملSingle-stranded RNA facilitates nucleocapsid: APOBEC3G complex formation.
Binding of APOBEC3G to the nucleocapsid (NC) domain of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Gag polyprotein may represent a critical early step in the selective packaging of this antiretroviral factor into HIV virions. Previously, we and others have reported that this interaction is mediated by RNA. Here, we demonstrate that RNA binding by APOBEC3G is key for initiation of APOBEC3G:NC complex...
متن کاملBifunctional photobinding of psoralen to single stranded nucleic acids.
As psoralen and other furocoumarin derivatives, intercalated between two base pairs of native DNA, under irradiation at 365 nm form inter-strand cross-linkings as a consequence of bifunctional addition, the writers have investigated the ability of psoralen to give such bifunctional photo additions, too, with nucleic acids with disordered or partilly disordered structure (denatured DNA and r-R ...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy of long and short double-stranded, single-stranded and triple-stranded nucleic acids.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM, also called scanning force microscopy) is proving to be a useful technique for imaging DNA. Thus it is important to push the limits of AFM imaging in order to explore both what types of DNA can be reliably imaged and identified and also what substrates and methods of sample preparation are suitable. The following advances in AFM of DNA are presented here. (i) DNA m...
متن کاملFractionation of nucleic acids into single-stranded and double-stranded forms
We describe a rapid and efficient procedure for the fractionation of mixtures of nucleic acids (NA) into double-stranded (ds) and single-stranded (ss) forms regardless of the nature of the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). The procedure is based on the differential binding of dsand ss-NA forms to silica particles in different lysis/binding buffers which have in common that they contain a high concentr...
