Flanking AT-rich tracts cause a structural distortion in Z-DNA in plasmids.
The effect of neighboring AT-rich sequences on the right-handed B to left-handed Z transition was investigated in plasmids. The supercoil stabilized Z-DNA structure in (CG) tracts 36 and 40 base pairs (bp) in length revealed an unexpected conformational aberration at defined C residues proximal to one end (colL) when the inserts were bilaterally flanked by an 80% AT-rich segment (90 bp on one s...
متن کاملKinetics of DNA duplex formation: A-tracts versus AT-tracts.
The hybridisation and melting of DNA strands are critical steps in many biological processes, but still a deeper understanding of the kinetics is lacking. This is evident from the absence of a clear correlation between rate constants for duplex formation and the number of bases in the strand or the sequence. Here we have probed differences between formation times of A-tracts and AT-tracts by st...
متن کاملdevelopment of feminist poetics in adrienne rich
اشعار ریچ، به عنوان اشعاری که همیشه در حال تغییر و دگرگونی هستند، تجسمی از رشد و دگرگونیِ انسان هستد. پایان نامه ی حاضر، با تمرکز بر روی مراحل سیر شعری ریچ از تغییری در دنیا به عکس هایی فوری از یک عروس، سپس به شیرجه به درون کشتی شکسته و در نهایت به صبری عجیب مرا تا اینجا آورده، به بررسی این مراحل در قالب نظر شوالتر در رابطه با سه مرحله ی پیشرفت ادبی زنان یعنی مرحله ی زنانه، زن گرا و زن محور می پ...
15 صفحه اولStructural role of the flanking DNA in mariner transposon excision
During cut-and-paste mariner/Tc1 transposition, transposon DNA is cut precisely at its junction with flanking DNA, ensuring the transposon is neither shortened nor lengthened with each transposition event. Each transposon end is flanked by a TpA dinucleotide: the signature target site duplication of mariner/Tc1 transposition. To establish the role of this sequence in accurate DNA cleavage, we h...
متن کاملPolyamine-induced Z-DNA conformation in plasmids containing (dA-dC)n.(dG-dT)n inserts and increased binding of lupus autoantibodies to the Z-DNA form of plasmids.
Blocks of potential Z-DNA-forming (dA-dC)n.(dG-dT)n sequences are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes. We examined whether naturally occurring polyamines, putrescine, spermidine and spermine, could provoke the Z-DNA conformation in plasmids pDHf2 and pDHf14 with 23 and 60 bp inserts respectively of (dA-dC)n.(dG-dT)n sequences using an e.l.i.s.a. Spermidine and spermine could provoke Z-DNA conforma...
