Abstract:
Can a wide range of complex biochemical behaviour arise from repeated applications of a highly reduced class of interactions? In particular, can the range of DNA manipulations achieved by protein enzymes be simulated via simple DNA hybridization chemistry? In this work, we develop a biochemical system which we call meta-DNA (abbreviated as mDNA), based on strands of DNA as the only component molecules. Various enzymatic manipulations of these mDNA molecules are simulated via toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement reactions. We provide a formal model to describe the required properties and op

Transport of maize streak virus (MSV) DNA into the nucleus of host cells is essential for virus replication and the presence of virus particles in the nuclei of infected cells implies that coat protein (CP) must enter the nucleus. To see if CP is imported into the nucleus in the absence of other viral gene products, the MSV CP gene was expressed in insect cells with a baculovirus vector system, and also in tobacco protoplasts with a cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter-driven transient gene expression vector. Immunofluorescent staining showed that the CP accumulated in the nuclei of bo

Abstract:
ABSTRACT RAG1 and RAG2 catalyze the first DNA cleavage steps in V(D)J recombination. We demonstrate that the isolated central domain of RAG1 has inherent single-stranded (ss) DNA cleavage activity, which does not require, but is enhanced by, RAG2. The central domain, therefore, contains the active-site residues necessary to perform hydrolysis of the DNA phosphodiester backbone. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of this domain on ss DNA is abolished by addition of the C-terminal domain of RAG1. The inhibitory effects of this latter domain are suppressed on substrates containing double-strande

ABSTRACT Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a unique gene transfer vector which takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks to reach its expression plateau.

In order to clarify the status of ss AAV genomes, we generated AAV vectors labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), a nucleotide analog that can be incorporated into the AAV genome and packaged into infectious virions.

Abstract:
Understanding the patterns of noncovalent adsorption of double-stranded nucleic acids (dsDNA) on gold nanoparticles (GNPs) was the aim of this study. It was found that the high-affinity motifs in DNA can and do act as an “anchor” for the fixation of the whole molecule on the GNP (up to 98 ± 2 single-stranded (ss)DNA molecules per particle with diameter of 13 ± 2 nm). At the same time, the involvement of an “anchor” in the intramolecular DNA interaction can negatively affect the efficiency of the formation of ss(ds)DNA–GNP structures. It has been shown that the interaction of GNP with DNA duple

Abstract:
T cell–specific adaptor protein (TSAd) is a T lineage–restricted signaling adaptor molecule that is thought to participate in the assembly of intracellular signaling complexes in T cells. Previous studies of TSAd-deficient mice have revealed a role for TSAd in the induction of T cell interleukin 2 secretion and proliferation. We now show that TSAd-deficient mice are susceptible to lupus-like autoimmune disease. On the nonautoimmune-prone C57BL/6 genetic background, TSAd deficiency results in hypergammaglobulinemia that affects all immunoglobulin (Ig)G subclasses. Older C57BL/6 TSAd-deficient m

This study shows the study of optimal surface functionalization of nanoporous alumina membrane for "label-free" DNA detection. Single stranded DNA was first covalently immobilized on the nanopore walls via silane-PEG-NHS linker. The remained NHS group was hydrolyzed to form PEG layer to minimize the unspecific DNA binding during hybridization process. Optimal PEG-silane linker was achieved for better DNA immobilization efficiency. Using this optofluidic device, both ss-DNA immobilization and ds-DNA hybridization were successfully monitored via UV-Vis spectrum montoring. The nanopore size effec

The ability to detect double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as a biomarker without denaturing it to single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) continues to be a major challenge. In this work, we report a sandwich biosensor for the detection of the ds-methylated MGMT gene, a potential biomarker for brain tumors and breast cancer. The purpose of this biosensor is to achieve simultaneous recognition of the gene sequence, as well as the presence of methylation. The biosensor is based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrodes decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and uses Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) that binds to the

Mutation patterns of DNA adducts, such as mutational spectra and signatures, are useful tools for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. Mutational spectra of carcinogens derive from three sources: adduct formation, replication bypass, and repair. Here, we consider the repair aspect of 1,N6-ethenoadenine (εA) by the 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent AlkB family enzymes. Specifically, we investigated εA repair across 16 possible sequence contexts (5′/3′ flanking base to εA varied as G/A/T/C). The results revealed that repair efficiency is altered according to sequence, enzyme, and strand context (ss

Abstract:
Protection of telomeres 1 (POT1) is the 3′ single-stranded overhang-binding telomeric protein that prevents an ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3–related (ATR) DNA damage response (DDR) at chromosome ends. What precludes the DDR machinery from accessing the telomeric double-stranded–single-stranded junction is unknown. We demonstrate that human POT1 binds this junction by recognizing the phosphorylated 5′ end of the chromosome. High-resolution crystallographic structures reveal that the junction is capped by POT1 through a “POT-hole” surface, the mutation of which compromises junction protection i

Human telomere length regulator Rtel1 is a superfamily II DNA helicase and is essential for maintaining proper length of telomeres in chromosomes. Here we report that the N-terminal domain of human Rtel1 (RtelN) expressed inEscherichia colicells produces a protein that contains a redox active iron-sulfur cluster with the redox midpoint potential of −248 ± 10 mV (pH 8.0). The iron-sulfur cluster in RtelN is sensitive to hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide, indicating that reactive oxygen/nitrogen species may modulate the DNA helicase activity of Rtel1 via modification of its iron-sulfur cluster.

These curves were analyzed by two modes: Experimental points on linear regions were described by two different lines and all experimental points were described by single curve.

A relevant task is to develop methods for detecting and localizing G4 in extended double-stranded (ds) DNA in the promoter regions of the genome. The porphyrin derivative ZnP1 selectively binds and leads to photo-induced oxidation of guanine in G4 structures on single-stranded (ss) and dsDNA model systems.

Moreover, the induced anti-DNA bind bacterial and mammalian single-stranded (ss) DNA and bacterial double-stranded (ds) DNA, but do not bind mammalian dsDNA.

An enzyme- and label-free aptamer-based assay is described for the determination of thrombin. A DNA strand (S) consisting of two parts was designed, where the first (Sa) is the thrombin-binding aptamer and the second (Se) is a G-quadruplex. In the absence of thrombin, Sa is readily adsorbed by graphene oxide (GO), which has a preference for ss-DNA rather than for ds-DNA. Upon the addition of the N-methyl-mesoporphyrin IX (NMM), its fluorescence (with excitation/emission at 399/610 nm) is quenched by GO. In contrast, in the presence of thrombin, the aptamer will bind thrombin, and thus, be sepa
