A Model of DNA Knotting and Linking
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a model of how DNA knots and links are formed as a result of a single recombination event, or multiple rounds of (processive) recombination events, starting with an unknotted, unlinked, or a (2,m)-torus knot or link substrate. Given these substrates, according to our model all DNA products of a single recombination event or processive recombination fall into a single family of knots and links.

Knotting and Linking in Macromolecules
In the 1980’s, knotting in DNA became a fundamental research dimension in the study of the mechanisms by which enzymes act on it. Later, the first compelling identification of knotting in proteins, in 2000, launched the study of knotting in protein structures and linear macromolecules more generally following on theoretical efforts of the 1960’s. While the linking occurring in structures such a...
متن کاملOs2–Os4 Switch Controls DNA Knotting and Anticancer Activity
Dinuclear trihydroxido-bridged osmium-arene complexes are inert and biologically inactive, but we show here that linking dihydroxido-bridged Os(II) -arene fragments by a bridging di-imine to form a metallacycle framework results in strong antiproliferative activity towards cancer cells and distinctive knotting of DNA. The shortened spacer length reduces biological activity and stability in solu...
متن کاملIntrinsic Linking and Knotting of Graphs
An analog to intrinsic linking, intrinsic even linking, is explored in the first half of this paper. Four graphs are established to be minor minimal intrinsically even linked, and it is conjectured that they form a complete minor minimal set. Some characterizations are given, using the simplest of the four graphs as an integral part of the arguments, that may be useful in proving the conjecture...
متن کاملKinetic proofreading can explain the supression of supercoiling of circular DNA molecules by type-II topoisomerases.
The enzymes that pass DNA through DNA so as to remove entanglements, adenosine-triphosphate-hydrolyzing type-II topoisomerases, are able to suppress the probability of self-entanglements (knots) and mutual entanglements (links) between approximately 10 kb plasmids, well below the levels expected, given the assumption that the topoisomerases pass DNA segments at random by thermal motion. This im...
متن کاملDNA supercoiling inhibits DNA knotting
Despite the fact that in living cells DNA molecules are long and highly crowded, they are rarely knotted. DNA knotting interferes with the normal functioning of the DNA and, therefore, molecular mechanisms evolved that maintain the knotting and catenation level below that which would be achieved if the DNA segments could pass randomly through each other. Biochemical experiments with torsionally...
