An orthogonal oligonucleotide protecting group strategy that enables assembly of repetitive or highly structured DNAs.
A general problem that exists in the assembly of large and organized DNA structures from smaller fragments is secondary structure that blocks or prevents it. For example, it is common to assemble longer synthetic DNA and RNA fragments by ligation of smaller synthesized units, but blocking secondary structure can prevent the formation of the intended complex before enzymatic ligation can occur. ...
متن کاملPoly(dA:dT)-Rich DNAs Are Highly Flexible in the Context of DNA Looping
Large-scale DNA deformation is ubiquitous in transcriptional regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike. Though much is known about how transcription factors and constellations of binding sites dictate where and how gene regulation will occur, less is known about the role played by the intervening DNA. In this work we explore the effect of sequence flexibility on transcription factor-mediat...
متن کاملIdentification of a DNA fragment that increases mitotic stability of episomal linear DNAs in Leishmania major.
The centromere is a specialized region of eukaryotic chromosomes, the site of kinetochore formation, spindle attachment and regulation of chromosome segregation during mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. To identify sequences which increase mitotic stability and/or act as potential centromeres in Leishmania major, we first generated libraries of Leishmania linear artificial chromosomes (LACs) b...
متن کاملA highly active DNA polymerase with a fluorous core.
DNA polymerases catalyze all DNA synthesis in the cell and are key tools in important molecular biological core technologies. Apart from naturally available DNA poly merases, several modified DNA polymerases with new characteristics have been developed. To date, directed evolution using the 20 natural amino acids is a promising method for the creation of nucleic acid polymerases with modified p...
متن کاملDNA polymerase active site is highly mutable: evolutionary consequences.
DNA polymerases contain active sites that are structurally superimposable and highly conserved in sequence. To assess the significance of this preservation and to determine the mutational burden that active sites can tolerate, we randomly mutated a stretch of 13 amino acids within the polymerase catalytic site (motif A) of Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase I. After selection, by using genetic co...
