Structures of bulged three-way DNA junctions.
We have studied a series of three-way DNA junctions containing unpaired bases on one strand at the branch-point of the junctions. The global conformation of the arms of the junctions has been analysed by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as a function of conditions. We find that in the absence of added metal ions, all the results for all the junctions can be accounted for by extended...
متن کاملInteraction of three-way DNA junctions with steroids.
DNA aptamers that bind to cholic acid were previously isolated by an in vitro selection method. Secondary structural prediction and deletion-mutant experiments suggested that the cholic-acid binding regions of 19 sequenced clones could form three-way-junction structures. In this article, the secondary structures of the sequenced clones and the structural requirements for binding to cholic acid ...
متن کاملSequence-dependent folding of DNA three-way junctions.
Three-way DNA junctions can adopt several different conformers, which differ in the coaxial stacking of the arms. These structural variants are often dominated by one conformer, which is determined by the DNA sequence. In this study we have compared several three-way DNA junctions in order to assess how the arrangement of bases around the branch point affects the conformer distribution. The res...
متن کاملSmall-molecule-triggered manipulation of DNA three-way junctions.
DNA three-way junctions are frequently used in nanoarchitectures. Ligand-dependent designs that provide well-characterized building blocks for structure-switching DNA nanodevices are presented.
متن کاملThe inherent properties of DNA four-way junctions: comparing the crystal structures of holliday junctions.
Holliday junctions are four-stranded DNA complexes that are formed during recombination and related DNA repair events. Much work has focused on the overall structure and properties of four-way junctions in solution, but we are just now beginning to understand these complexes at the atomic level. The crystal structures of two all-DNA Holliday junctions have been determined recently from the sequ...
