DNA: Sequence, Structure and Supercoiling
DNA structures It is now 30 years since Watson & Crick (1953) proposed the base-paired double helical structure for DNA. Although the details of the structure in terms of the precise torsion angles adopted along the deoxyribose-phosphate backbone have undergone considerable revision and refinement, the essential nature of the structure was of course correct, and has subsequently stimulated the ...
متن کاملDNA supercoiling of recombinant plasmids in mammalian cells.
We have used chloroquine/agarose gel electrophoresis and a blot-hybridization technique to study the modulation of superhelicity of extrachromosomal DNA in mammalian cells. The high sensitivity of the procedure has allowed us to measure the change in the specific linking difference or superhelical density (sigma) of a plasmid, psvo alpha 1p3d, after its introduction into COS-7 cells by DNA tran...
متن کاملDNA supercoiling-dependent gene regulation in Chlamydia.
The intracellular pathogen Chlamydia has an unusual developmental cycle marked by temporal expression patterns whose mechanisms of regulation are largely unknown. To examine if DNA topology can regulate chlamydial gene expression, we tested the in vitro activity of five chlamydial promoters at different superhelical densities. We demonstrated for the first time that individual chlamydial promot...
متن کاملCounterintuitive DNA Sequence Dependence in Supercoiling-Induced DNA Melting
The metabolism of DNA in cells relies on the balance between hybridized double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and local de-hybridized regions of ssDNA that provide access to binding proteins. Traditional melting experiments, in which short pieces of dsDNA are heated up until the point of melting into ssDNA, have determined that AT-rich sequences have a lower binding energy than GC-rich sequences. In cell...
متن کاملDNA base sequence changes and sequence specificity of bromodeoxyuridine-induced mutations in mammalian cells.
By using a shuttle vector system developed in our laboratory, we have carried out studies on the molecular mechanism by which 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) induces mutations in mammalian cells. The target for mutagenesis in these studies was the Escherichia coli gpt gene that was contained within a retroviral shuttle vector and integrated into chromosomal DNA in mouse A9 cells. Shuttle vector-tr...
