Polydimethylsiloxane microstructure-induced acoustic streaming for enhanced ultrasonic DNA fragmentation on a microfluidic chip

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Lin Sun

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an essential technology for DNA identification in genomic research. DNA fragmentation is a critical step for NGS and doing this on-chip is of great interest for future integrated genomic solutions. Here we demonstrate fa ...

m6A methylation potentiates cytosolic dsDNA recognition in a sequence-specific manner

Andrea Ablasser, Muhammet Fatih Gülen

Nucleic acid sensing through pattern recognition receptors is critical for immune recognition of microbial infections. Microbial DNA is frequently methylated at the N-6 position of adenines (m6A), a modification that is rare in mammalian host DNA. We show ...

ROYAL SOC2021

DNA-protein interactions lie at the crux of life's essential processes. As such, various technologies have been developed to characterize these interactions. The distinct advantages of these technologies can be leveraged to study different facets of these ...

The redox properties of two large DNA fragments composed of 39 base pairs, differing only by an 8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) defect replacing a guanine (G), were investigated in physiological conditions using mixed quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) m ...

Exploring on Protein-DNA interactions

Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi

A variety of DNA-binding proteins organizes the chromosomal DNA and regulates gene transcription, and DNA replication and recombination. In particular, for gene regulation there is a category of DNA-binding proteins, the transcription factors, which can de ...

Neighbor predation linked to natural competence fosters the transfer of large genomic regions in Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli, Sandrine Stutzmann, Candice Stoudmann, Noémie Matthey

Natural competence for transformation is a primary mode of horizontal gene transfer. Competent bacteria are able to absorb free DNA from their surroundings and exchange this DNA against pieces of their own genome when sufficiently homologous. However, the ...

Restriction endonuclease AgeI is a monomer which dimerizes to cleave DNA

Virginija Jovaisaite

Although all Type II restriction endonucleases catalyze phosphodiester bond hydrolysis within or close to their DNA target sites, they form different oligomeric assemblies ranging from monomers, dimers, tetramers to higher order oligomers to generate a dou ...

Oxford University Press (OUP)2017

Interactions of proteins with DNA are essential for carrying out DNA's biological functions and performing a cellular cycle. Such processes as DNA replication, expression and repair are performed by an organised action of various proteins. To better unders ...

Spatial confinement induces hairpins in nicked circular DNA

Giovanni Dietler, Aleksandre Japaridze, Enzo Orlandini

In living cells, DNA is highly confined in space with the help of condensing agents, DNA binding proteins and high levels of supercoiling. Due to challenges associated with experimentally studying DNA under confinement, little is known about the impact of ...

Influence of DNA Binding Dyes on Bare DNA Structure Studied with Atomic Force Microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Aleksandr Benke, Aleksandre Japaridze, Sylvain Renevey

Fluorescent dyes are widely used for staining and visualization of DNA in optical microscopy based methods. Even though for some dyes the mechanism of binding is known, how this binding affects DNA remains poorly understood. Here we present a novel experim ...
