The antiparallel loops in gal DNA
Interactions between proteins bound to distant sites along a DNA molecule require bending and twisting deformations in the intervening DNA. In certain systems, the sterically allowed protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions are hypothesized to produce loops with distinct geometries that may also be thermodynamically and biologically distinct. For example, theoretical models of Gal repressor...
متن کاملDistamycin-stabilized antiparallel-parallel combination (APC) DNA.
The formation of Antiparallel-Parallel-Combination (APC) DNA, a liner duplex with a segment of parallel-stranded (ps) helix flanked by conventional B-DNA, was tested with a number of synthetic oligonucleotides. The groove-binding ligand distamycin A (DstA) was used to stabilize the ps segment comprising five A x T base pairs. Two drug molecules bound per APC, one in each of the two equivalent g...
متن کاملAntiparallel, intramolecular triplex DNA stimulates homologous recombination in human cells.
The DNA motif 5'-AAGGGAGAAXGGGTATAGGGYAAGAGGGAA-3' (named XY32) is an H-palindrome and has been shown to undergo a superhelix-induced, pH-dependent structural transition to H-form (pyrimidine purineo pyrimidine triplex) DNA when X = Y = A (AA32) or X = Y = G (GG32), but when X = A and Y = G (AG32) or X = G and Y = A (GA32), the transition is much more difficult [Mirkin, S. (1987) Nature (London...
متن کاملCohesin loops DNA
Cohesin loops DNA T he glue that holds together sister chromatids also compacts meiotic chromosomes, according to Ding et al. on page 499. This cohesin subunit, called Rec8, seems to tie up chromosomes into loops. The role of Rec8, a meiosis-specifi c cohesin subunit, in chromosome architecture was identifi ed by the authors in a fi ssion yeast screen for meiosis mutants. During meiotic prophas...
متن کاملInteraction of Gal repressor with inducer and operator: induction of gal transcription from repressor-bound DNA.
Gal repressor inhibits transcription from the gal promoter (P1) when it binds to the cognate operator (O(E)). The repression is relieved by the presence of the inducer D-galactose. Compared with its interaction with free repressor, D-galactose binds to the repressor-operator complex with 10-fold reduced affinity as determined by fluorescence enhancement measurements. Thermodynamic analysis and ...
