Non-B DNA conformations, mutagenesis and disease.
Recent discoveries have revealed that simple repeating DNA sequences, which are known to adopt non-B DNA conformations (such as triplexes, cruciforms, slipped structures, left-handed Z-DNA and tetraplexes), are mutagenic. The mutagenesis is due to the non-B DNA conformation rather than to the DNA sequence per se in the orthodox right-handed Watson-Crick B-form. The human genetic consequences of...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA deletions are associated with non-B DNA conformations
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions are a primary cause of mitochondrial disease and are believed to contribute to the aging process and to various neurodegenerative diseases. Despite strong observational and experimental evidence, the molecular basis of the deletion process remains obscure. In this study, we test the hypothesis that the primary cause of mtDNA vulnerability to breakage resides ...
متن کاملAlzheimer's disease amyloid beta converting left-handed Z-DNA back to right-handed B-form.
Herein we report that Aβ aggregates, not Aβ monomer, can convert Z-DNA back to B-form, and curcumin, a well-known Aβ aggregation inhibitor, can stop DNA Z-B transition studied by means of biophysical and biochemical methods.
متن کاملRight - Handed Currents in B Decay Revisited
We critically re-examine the case for and against a sizeable right-handed component in the b → c charged current coupling with a strength ξ relative to the conventional left-handed current. Using data from CLEO on the decay B → Dlν, as well as our knowledge of Vcb extracted from both inclusive and exclusive processes, we are able to determine the presently allowed parameter space for ξ via HQET...
