Knotting dynamics during DNA replication.
The topology of plasmid DNA changes continuously as replication progresses. But the dynamics of the process remains to be fully understood. Knotted bubbles form when topo IV knots the daughter duplexes behind the fork in response to their degree of intertwining. Here, we show that knotted bubbles can form during unimpaired DNA replication, but they become more evident in partially replicated in...
متن کاملChromatin dynamics during DNA replication.
Chromatin is composed of DNA and histones, which provide a unified platform for regulating DNA-related processes, mostly through their post-translational modification. During DNA replication, histone arrangement is perturbed, first to allow progression of DNA polymerase and then during repackaging of the replicated DNA. To study how DNA replication influences the pattern of histone modification...
متن کاملActive DNA unwinding dynamics during processive DNA replication.
Duplication of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) requires a fine-tuned coordination between the DNA replication and unwinding reactions. Using optical tweezers, we probed the coupling dynamics between these two activities when they are simultaneously carried out by individual Phi29 DNA polymerase molecules replicating a dsDNA hairpin. We used the wild-type and an unwinding deficient polymerase varian...
متن کاملDNA supercoiling inhibits DNA knotting
Despite the fact that in living cells DNA molecules are long and highly crowded, they are rarely knotted. DNA knotting interferes with the normal functioning of the DNA and, therefore, molecular mechanisms evolved that maintain the knotting and catenation level below that which would be achieved if the DNA segments could pass randomly through each other. Biochemical experiments with torsionally...
