متن کاملMediators of homologous DNA pairing.
Homologous DNA pairing and strand exchange are at the core of homologous recombination. These reactions are promoted by a DNA-strand-exchange protein assembled into a nucleoprotein filament comprising the DNA-pairing protein, ATP, and single-stranded DNA. The catalytic activity of this molecular machine depends on control of its dynamic instability by accessory factors. Here we discuss proteins...
متن کاملPairing of homologous DNA sequences by proteins: evidence for three-stranded DNA.
We show that recombinases form joint molecules over very short regions of homology. When these molecules are deproteinized the three strands are in a structure that is surprisingly resistant to dissociation by branch migration, even at elevated temperatures. The joint molecules dissociate at temperatures comparable to those required to melt DNA duplexes of the same length and sequence. We also ...
متن کاملHomologous Pairing between Long DNA Double Helices.
Molecular recognition between two double stranded (ds) DNA with homologous sequences may not seem compatible with the B-DNA structure because the sequence information is hidden when it is used for joining the two strands. Nevertheless, it has to be invoked to account for various biological data. Using quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics, and hints from recent genetics experiments, I show her...
متن کاملSingle molecule detection of direct, homologous, DNA/DNA pairing.
Using a parallel single molecule magnetic tweezers assay we demonstrate homologous pairing of two double-stranded (ds) DNA molecules in the absence of proteins, divalent metal ions, crowding agents, or free DNA ends. Pairing is accurate and rapid under physiological conditions of temperature and monovalent salt, even at DNA molecule concentrations orders of magnitude below those found in vivo, ...
