Double stranded scission of DNA directed through sequence-specific R-loop formation.
R-loop formation with short (100 nt) RNAs provides a highly flexible and stringent method to achieve sequence-specific separation of target DNA at any given sequence. After stabilization of R-loops with glyoxal and removal of the RNA through RNase treatment the remaining single-stranded DNA bubble provides a highly favorable substrate for attenuated micrococcal nuclease. We investigated this me...
متن کاملSepto-Hippocampo-Septal Loop and Memory Formation
The Cholinergic and GABAergic .bers of the medial septal/diagonal band of Broca (MS/DB) area project to the hippocampus and constitute the septo-hippocampal pathway, which has been proven to play a role in learning and memory. In addition, the hippocampus has bidirectional connections with the septum so that to self-regulate of cholinergic input. The activity of septal and hippocampal neuron...
متن کاملRNA binding and R-loop formation by the herpes simplex virus type-1 single-stranded DNA-binding protein (ICP8).
In an effort to decipher the molecular mechanisms of homologous recombination during herpes simplex virus type-1 replication, we recently demonstrated that the virus-encoded single-stranded (ss) DNA-binding protein (ICP8) promotes the salt-dependent assimilation of ssDNA into a homologous plasmid, resulting in the formation of a displacement loop. In this paper, the results presented show for t...
متن کاملR-loop formation to epigenetic regulation and transcription termination
Strand asymmetry in the distribution of guanines and cytosines, measured by GC skew, predisposes DNA sequences toward R-loop formation upon transcription. Previous work revealed that GC skew and R-loop formation associate with a core set of unmethylated CpG island (CGI) promoters in the human genome. Here, we show that GC skew can distinguish four classes of promoters, including three types of ...
متن کاملHybridization of RNA to double-stranded DNA: formation of R-loops.
RNA can hybridize to double-stranded DNA in the presence of 70% formamide by displacing the identical DNA strand. The resulting structure, called an R-loop, is formed in formamide probably because of the greater thermodynamic stability of the RNA-DNA hybrid when it is near the denaturation temperature of duplex DNA. The rate of R-loop formation is maximal at the temperature at which half of the...
