Cooperative kinking at distant sites in mechanically stressed DNA
In cells, DNA is routinely subjected to significant levels of bending and twisting. In some cases, such as under physiological levels of supercoiling, DNA can be so highly strained, that it transitions into non-canonical structural conformations that are capable of relieving mechanical stress within the template. DNA minicircles offer a robust model system to study stress-induced DNA structures...
متن کاملBubble statistics and positioning in superhelically stressed DNA.
We present a general framework to study the thermodynamic denaturation of double-stranded DNA under superhelical stress. We report calculations of position- and size-dependent opening probabilities for bubbles along the sequence. Our results are obtained from transfer-matrix solutions of the Zimm-Bragg model for unconstrained DNA and of a self-consistent linearization of the Benham model for su...
متن کاملStressed mucosa.
Stress has been defined as an acute threat to the homeostasis of the organism. The mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract, a single layer of epithelial cells held together by tight junctions, provides a barrier between the external environment and the body's internal milieu. Any mechanism that breaches the tight junction exposes the body to foreign material be it protein, microorganisms o...
متن کاملStressed or stressed out: what is the difference?
The term "allostasis" has been coined to clarify ambiguities associated with the word "stress". Allostasis refers to the adaptive processes that maintain homeostasis through the production of mediators such as adrenalin, cortisol and other chemical messengers. These mediators of the stress response promote adaptation in the aftermath of acute stress, but they also contribute to allostatic overl...
متن کاملStressed out and asthmatic
On page 157, Sarmento and colleagues show how the developmental regulator protein Notch1 advances the cell cycle. Activation of Notch1 induced the production of a protein that chops up cell cycle inhibitors, leading to a shortened G1 phase and a faster transition into S phase (but no overall increase in proliferation). The Notch family of transmembrane receptors regulates both cell fate decisio...
