Temperature dependence of thermodynamic properties for DNA/DNA and RNA/DNA duplex formation.
A clear difference in the enthalpy changes derived from spectroscopic and calorimetric measurements has recently been shown. The exact interpretation of this deviation varied from study to study, but it was generally attributed to the non-two-state transition and heat capacity change. Although the temperature-dependent thermodynamics of the duplex formation was often implied, systemic and exten...
متن کاملMechanism of duplex DNA destabilization by RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease during target interrogation.
The prokaryotic clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated 9 (Cas9) endonuclease cleaves double-stranded DNA sequences specified by guide RNA molecules and flanked by a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and is widely used for genome editing in various organisms. The RNA-programmed Cas9 locates the target site by scanning genomic DNA. We sought to elucidate the ...
متن کاملSuperhelical Duplex Destabilization and the Recombination Position Effect
The susceptibility to recombination of a plasmid inserted into a chromosome varies with its genomic position. This recombination position effect is known to correlate with the average G+C content of the flanking sequences. Here we propose that this effect could be mediated by changes in the susceptibility to superhelical duplex destabilization that would occur. We use standard nonparametric sta...
متن کاملDilaton Destabilization at High Temperature
Many compactifications of higher–dimensional supersymmetric theories have approximate vacuum degeneracy. The associated moduli fields are stabilized by non–perturbative effects which break supersymmetry. We show that at finite temperature the effective potential of the dilaton acquires a negative linear term. This destabilizes all moduli fields at sufficiently high temperature. We compute the c...
متن کاملStress-induced duplex DNA destabilization in scaffold/matrix attachment regions.
S/MARs are DNA elements 300 to several thousand base-pairs long, which are operationally defined by their affinity for the nuclear scaffold or matrix. S/MARs occur exclusively in eukaryotic genomes, where they mediate several functions. Because S/MARs do not have a clearcut consensus sequence, the characteristics that define their activity are thought to be structural. Ubiquitous S/MAR binding ...
