Organization of DNA in chromatin ( chromatin structure / intercalation / DNA - kinking )
Conformational changes in DNA that accompany drug intercalation have led us to ask if DNA first bends or "kinks" to accept an intercalative drug or dye. Kinking is made possible by altering the normal C2' endo deoxyribose sugar ring puckering in B DNA to a mixed sugarpuckering pattern of the type C3' endo (3'-5') C2' endo and partially unstacking base-pairs. A kinking scheme such as this would ...
متن کاملChromatin structure of adenovirus DNA throughout infection
For more than half a century, researchers have studied the basic biology of Adenovirus (Ad), unraveling the subtle, yet profound, interactions between the virus and the host. These studies have uncovered previously unknown proteins and pathways crucial for normal cell function that the virus manipulates to achieve optimal virus replication and gene expression. In the infecting virion, the viral...
متن کاملChromatin Structure in Situ: The Contribution of DNA Ultrastructural Cytochemistry
Ultrastructural studies conducted in situ using conventional transmission electron microscopy have had relatively little impact on defining the structural organization of chromatin. This is due to the fact that in routine transmission electron microscopy, together with the deoxyribonucleoprotein, many different intermingled substances are contrasted, masking the ultrastructure of chromatin. By ...
متن کاملStructure of chromatin. DNA not complexed with protein.
Rat liver chromatin was titrated by poly-D-lysine of mol.wt. 140,000. Approximately 32% of the phosphate groups of the chromatin were found to react with the polycation. By submitting the chromatin-poly-D-lysine complex to pronase and DNase I digestion and by further submitting the obtained DNA-lysine complex to hydroxy-apatite-chromatography, “free” DNA was isolated. The mean S-value of this D...
متن کاملSynthetic CpG islands reveal DNA sequence determinants of chromatin structure
The mammalian genome is punctuated by CpG islands (CGIs), which differ sharply from the bulk genome by being rich in G + C and the dinucleotide CpG. CGIs often include transcription initiation sites and display 'active' histone marks, notably histone H3 lysine 4 methylation. In embryonic stem cells (ESCs) some CGIs adopt a 'bivalent' chromatin state bearing simultaneous 'active' and 'inactive' ...
