Circular Dichroism of DNA Frayed Wires [PDF]
Ultraviolet circular dichroism spectra are reported for the oligonucleotide d(A15G15) in aqueous solutions containing 5 mM MgCl2 at several temperatures and in the presence of partially complementary oligonucleotides. Oligonucleotides with several consecutive terminal guanine residues self-associate to form aggregates, called frayed wires, that consist

Single-stranded circular DNA theranostics
The past decade has witnessed the blossom of nucleic acid therapeutics and diagnostics (theranostics). Unlike conventional small molecule medicines or protein biologics, nucleic acid theranostics have characteristic features such as the intrinsic ability as "information drugs" to code and execute genetic and theranostic information, ready ...

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

DNA's from human hepatoma and gastric cancer mitochondria [PDF]
1. Mitochondria isolated from human liver, hepatoma and gastric cancer contain DNA. The DNA content per mitochondrial protein is about ten times as much in cancer as in normal liver. 2.

Gene Amplification and the Extrachromosomal Circular DNA [PDF]
Oncogene amplification is closely linked to the pathogenesis of a broad spectrum of human malignant tumors. The amplified genes localize either to the extrachromosomal circular DNA, which has been referred to as cytogenetically visible double minutes (DMs), or submicroscopic episome, or to the chromosomal homogeneously staining region (HSR).

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Physical and Topological Properties of Circular DNA [PDF]
Several types of circular DNA molecules are now known. These are classified as single-stranded rings, covalently closed duplex rings, and weakly bonded duplex rings containing an interruption in one or both strands. Single rings are exemplified by the viral DNA from ϕX174 bacteriophage. Duplex rings appear to exist in a twisted configuration in neutral

Genomic insertion of lentiviral DNA circles directed by the yeast Flp recombinase
Background Circular forms of viral genomic DNA are generated during infection of cells with retroviruses like HIV-1. Such circles are unable to replicate and are eventually lost as a result of cell division, lending support to the prevalent notion that ...

Supercoil formation in DNA denaturation
We generalize the Poland-Scheraga (PS) model to the case of a circular DNA, taking into account the twisting of the two strains around each other. Guided by recent single-molecule experiments on DNA strands, we assume that the torsional stress induced by
