A map of minor groove shape and electrostatic potential from hydroxyl radical cleavage patterns of DNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA shape variation and the associated variation in minor groove electrostatic potential are widely exploited by proteins for DNA recognition. Here we show that the hydroxyl radical cleavage pattern is a quantitative measure of DNA backbone solvent accessibility, minor groove width, and minor groove electrostatic potential, at single nucleotide resolution. We introduce maps of DNA shape and electrostatic potential as tools for understanding how proteins recognize binding sites in a genome. These maps reveal periodic structural signals in yeast and Drosophila genomic DNA sequences that are associated with positioned nucleosomes.

Experimental maps of DNA structure at nucleotide resolution distinguish intrinsic from protein-induced DNA deformations.
Recognition of DNA by proteins depends on DNA sequence and structure. Often unanswered is whether the structure of naked DNA persists in a protein-DNA complex, or whether protein binding changes DNA shape. While X-ray structures of protein-DNA complexes are numerous, the structure of naked cognate DNA is seldom available experimentally. We present here an experimental and computational analysis...
متن کاملSynthesis of Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(III) and Fe(III) complexes using Deferoxamine and their DNA binding affinity, plasmid DNA cleavage studies
New and versatile route for the preparation of Deferoxamine from 5-aminopentan-1-ol and their Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(III) and Fe(III) (11 to 15) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The mode of binding interactions of synthesized complexes 11 to 15 with CT – DNA was monitored by absorption spectral titrations, fluorescent spectral titrations and viscosity measurements. The intrinsi...
متن کاملA DNA minor groove electronegative potential genome map based on photo-chemical probing
The double-stranded DNA of the genome contains both sequence information directly relating to the protein and RNA coding as well as functional and structural information relating to protein recognition. Only recently is the importance of DNA shape in this recognition process being fully appreciated, and it also appears that minor groove electronegative potential may contribute significantly in ...
متن کاملConstruction of a genome-scale structural map at single-nucleotide resolution.
Few methods are available for mapping the local structure of DNA throughout a genome. The hydroxyl radical cleavage pattern is a measure of the local variation in solvent-accessible surface area of duplex DNA, and thus provides information on the local shape and structure of DNA. We report the construction of a relational database, ORChID (OH Radical Cleavage Intensity Database), that contains ...

The ternary iron(II) complex [Fe(L')(L")](PF6)3(1) as a synthetic model for the bleomycins, where L' and L" are formed from metal-mediated cyclizations of N,N'-(2-hydroxypropane-1,3-diyl)bis(pyridine-2-aldimine)(L), is synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. In the six-coordinate iron(ii) complex, ligands L' and L" show tetradentate and bidentate chelating modes of ...
