The unusual conformation adopted by the adenine tracts in kinetoplast DNA.

Abstract:

:To determine the structural features responsible for the curvature of kinetoplast DNA, we studied 13 adenine tracts in Crithidia fasciculata kinetoplast DNA. The structures of the A tracts were analyzed by cutting the DNA with hydroxyl radical. Reactivity of hydroxyl radical toward the DNA backbone progressively decreased in the 5'----3' direction of each A tract. The cutting pattern of the T-rich strand was offset by 1 or 2 bp from the pattern on the A-rich strand. An A tract in a restriction fragment from plasmid pBR322 had the same cutting pattern as the kinetoplast A tracts. We interpret these experiments to show that in A tracts the width of the minor groove decreases smoothly from the 5'----3' end of the A tract.

  • The interaction of recombination proteins with supercoiled DNA: defining the role of supercoiling in lambda integrative recombination.

    abstract::Lambda integrative recombination depends on supercoiling of the phage attachment site, attP. Using dimethylsulfate protection and indirect end-labeling, the interaction of the recombination proteins Int and IHF with supercoiled and linear attP has been studied. Supercoiling enhances the binding of Int to attP, but not...
