A model of H-NS mediated compaction of bacterial DNA.
The histone-like nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) is a nucleoid-associated protein, which is involved in both gene regulation and DNA compaction. H-NS can bind to DNA in two different ways: in trans, by binding to two separate DNA duplexes, or in cis, by binding to different sites on the same duplex. Based on scanning force microscopy imaging and optical trap-driven unzipping assays, it has ...
متن کاملStructural perturbations in DNA caused by bis-intercalation of ditercalinium visualised by atomic force microscopy
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to examine perturbations in the tertiary structure of DNA induced by the binding of ditercalinium, a DNA bis-intercalator with strong anti-tumour properties. We report AFM images of plasmid DNA of both circular and linearised forms showing a difference in the formation of supercoils and plectonemic coils caused at least in part by alterations in the s...
متن کاملAutomated DNA Sizing by Atomic Force Microscopy
W a) " NA sizing is one of the most widely used analytical methods in molecular _6 42 biology and biochemistry, and it is a core method for genomic analysis. Many research, • toE health care, and forensic applications rely on DNA sizing. Given the volume of DNA C: sizing done and the associated cost, an increasing need exists for extremely rapid, high. throughput, and inexpensive techniques. Es...
متن کاملInteraction of APOBEC3A with DNA Assessed by Atomic Force Microscopy
The APOBEC3 family of DNA cytosine deaminases functions to block the spread of endogenous retroelements and retroviruses including HIV-1. Potency varies among family members depending on the type of parasitic substrate. APOBEC3A (A3A) is unique among the human enzymes in that it is expressed predominantly in myeloid lineage cell types, it is strongly induced by innate immune agonists such as ty...
متن کاملSurface Evaluation of Resin Zein Films Containing Sugar Plasticizers by Permeability and Atomic Force Microscopy Analysis
Zein is one of the best biopolymer for edible film making and sugars are natural plasticizers for biopolymers. In this research, sugars (fructose, galactose and glucose) at three levels (0.5, 0.7, 1 g/g of zein) were used as plasticizers for zein protein films and their water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen permeability (OP) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) topography were studied. The p...
