DNA 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...

متن کاملChromatin assembly on replicating DNA in vitro.
Replicating single-stranded DNA is preferentially assembled into chromatin in Xenopus egg extracts relative to non-replicating double-stranded DNA. We have examined the molecular basis of this phenomenon. Single-stranded DNA itself is not a favored template for nucleosome assembly in comparison to double-stranded DNA. Complementary strand synthesis is required for the rapid assembly of nucleoso...
متن کاملChromatin: Nucleosome assembly during DNA replication
In the cells of higher eukaryotes, the genomic DNA, which is of a few metres in length, is compacted in such a way as to be confined within a nucleus only micrometres in diameter. This impressive compaction is brought about by association of the DNA with nuclear proteins, of which histones are the most prevalent. The resulting complex nucleoprotein structure is known as chromatin, and the basic...
متن کاملChromatin assembly factor 1 is essential and couples chromatin assembly to DNA replication in vivo.
De novo chromatin assembly maintains histone density on the daughter strands in the wake of the replication fork. The heterotrimer chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) couples DNA replication to histone deposition in vitro, but is not essential for yeast cell proliferation. Depletion of CAF-1 in human cell lines demonstrated that CAF-1 was required for efficient progression through S-phase. Cell...
