Direct observation of translocation in individual DNA polymerase complexes.
Complexes of phi29 DNA polymerase and DNA fluctuate on the millisecond time scale between two ionic current amplitude states when captured atop the α-hemolysin nanopore in an applied field. The lower amplitude state is stabilized by complementary dNTP and thus corresponds to complexes in the post-translocation state. We have demonstrated that in the upper amplitude state, the DNA is displaced b...
متن کاملDirect observation of enhanced translocation of a homeodomain between DNA cognate sites by NMR exchange spectroscopy.
A novel approach is presented for studying the kinetics of specific protein-DNA interactions by NMR exchange spectroscopy. The experimental design involves the direct observation of translocation of a homeodomain between cognate sites on two oligonucleotide duplexes, differing by only a single base pair at the edge of the DNA recognition sequence. The single base-pair change perturbs the 1H-15N...
متن کاملSliding and jumping of single EcoRV restriction enzymes on non-cognate DNA
The restriction endonuclease EcoRV can rapidly locate a short recognition site within long non-cognate DNA using 'facilitated diffusion'. This process has long been attributed to a sliding mechanism, in which the enzyme first binds to the DNA via nonspecific interaction and then moves along the DNA by 1D diffusion. Recent studies, however, provided evidence that 3D translocations (hopping/jumpi...

متن کاملInfluences of Genetic Abnormality on the Risk of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Recent studies have provided evidence that common genetic variations could account for a proportion of leukemia in adult or children. To evaluate the contribution of candidate gene association studies to the understanding of genetic susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia we conducted a systematic review from published studies. The polymorphisms of genes encoding carcinogen-metabolizi...
