A fluoroquinolone resistance associated mutation in gyrA affects DNA supercoiling in Campylobacter jejuni

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
The prevalence of fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant Campylobacter has become a concern for public health. To facilitate the control of FQ-resistant Campylobacter, it is necessary to understand the impact of FQ resistance on the fitness of Campylobacter in ...

DNA supercoiling-mediated collective behavior of co-transcribing RNA polymerases. [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Res, 2022
Multiple RNA polymerases (RNAPs) transcribing a gene have been known to exhibit collective group behavior, causing the transcription elongation rate to increase with the rate of transcription initiation.

Oncofetal HMGA2 effectively curbs unconstrained (+) and (−) DNA supercoiling [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
HMGA2 belongs to the family of the high mobility group (HMG) proteins. It binds DNA via three AT-hook domains to the minor groove of adenine-thymine (AT) rich DNA.

Supercoiling DNA optically [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019
AbstractCellular DNA is regularly subject to torsional stress during genomic processes, such as transcription and replication, resulting in a range of supercoiled DNA structures.1,2,3 For this reason, methods to prepare and study supercoiled DNA at the single-molecule level are widely used, including magnetic,4,5,6 angular-optical,7,8,9 micro-pipette ...

Supercoiling and looping promote DNA base accessibility and coordination among distant sites

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
DNA supercoiling can result in underwinding with negative supercoiling or overwinding with positive supercoiling of the DNA double helix. Here the authors reveal insights into the dynamic relationship between DNA supercoiling-induced sequence-dependent ...

Supercoiling DNA Locates Mismatches [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2017
We present a method of detecting sequence defects by supercoiling DNA with magnetic tweezers. The method is sensitive to a single mismatched base pair in a DNA sequence of several thousand base pairs. We systematically compare DNA molecules with 0 to 16 adjacent mismatches at 1Mmonovalent salt and 3.5 pN force and show that, under these conditions, a ...

High-resolution, genome-wide mapping of positive supercoiling in chromosomes

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Supercoiling impacts DNA replication, transcription, protein binding to DNA, and the three-dimensional organization of chromosomes. However, there are currently no methods to directly interrogate or map positive supercoils, so their distribution in ...

An Experimental Framework to Examine the Influence of Promoter Architecture and Genomic Context on Gene Expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Transcription is a fundamental process of gene expression. Information stored in DNA is transcribed into different types of mobile RNA, which play a role in various essential processes of the cell, e.g. translation.
