The influence of tertiary structural restraints on conformational transitions in superhelical DNA.

abstract：:We have sequenced the 0.7-kb-long fragment of Drosophila DNA which ensures the autonomous replication of plasmids in yeast. Deletion mapping has shown the ARS element to consist of at least two domains: the core having the consensus 11-bp sequence TAAATATAAAT and the enhancer which is no more than 90 bp long and is lo...
