Yeast Pif1 Accelerates Annealing of Complementary DNA Strands
Pif1 is a helicase involved in the maintenance of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in eukaryotes. Here we report a new activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pif1, annealing of complementary DNA strands. We identified preferred substrates for annealing as those that generate a duplex product with a single-stranded overhang relative to a blunt end duplex. Importantly, we show that Pif1 can anneal...
متن کاملCoding capacity of complementary DNA strands.
A Fortran computer algorithm has been used to analyze the nucleotide sequence of several structural genes. The analysis performed on both coding and complementary DNA strands shows that whereas open reading frames shorter than 100 codons are randomly distributed on both DNA strands, open reading frames longer than 100 codons ("virtual genes") are significantly more frequent on the complementary...
متن کاملTransformation of Bacillus subtilis using hybrid DNA molecules constructed by annealing resolved complementary strands.
HE question of whether one or both strands of the transforming deoxyriboTnucleic acid (DNA) molecule is inserted into the host chromosome of Bacillus subtilis has been the subject of several recent reports. BODMER and GANESAN (1964) presented physical evidence for the incorporation of one strand. AYAD and BARKER (1969) in contrast, presented physical evidence suggesting that both strands of the...
متن کاملWhy are complementary DNA strands symmetric?
MOTIVATION Over sufficiently long windows, complementary strands of DNA tend to have the same base composition. A few reports have indicated that this first-order parity rule extends at higher orders to oligonucleotide composition, at least in some organisms or taxa. However, the scientific literature falls short of providing a comprehensive study of reverse-complement symmetry at multiple orde...
متن کاملMechanical separation of the complementary strands of DNA.
We describe the mechanical separation of the two complementary strands of a single molecule of bacteriophage lambda DNA. The 3' and 5' extremities on one end of the molecule are pulled progressively apart, and this leads to the opening of the double helix. The typical forces along the opening are in the range of 10-15 pN. The separation force signal is shown to be related to the local GC vs. AT...
