Quantitative analysis of the transcription factor AP2 binding to DNA by atomic force microscopy.

Abstract:

:Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows to study the molecular structure of biological macromolecules with nm to A resolutions without crystallization. We show here the applicability of AFM in the quantitative analysis of the molecular mechanisms of DNA/protein interaction: (i) Protein-binding sites can be mapped over a few kilobases of target DNA. (ii) Multimerization state of DNA-binding proteins can be determined simply by measuring the sizes of proteins bound to the DNA. These features are significant advantages over the capabilities provided by conventional techniques in biochemistry and molecular and structural biology.

  • Long noncoding RNA UCA1 promotes chondrogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via miRNA-145-5p/SMAD5 and miRNA-124-3p/SMAD4 axis.

    abstract::Long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) UCA1 has been known to be critical for the chondrogenic differentiation of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we explore the effects and mechanisms of UCA1 on the promotion of chondrogenesis of MSCs. During the processes of chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs, UCA1, miRN...
