Topogami: Topologically Linked DNA Origami [PDF]
ACS Nanoscience Au, 2021 DNA origami is a widely used DNA nanotechnology that allows construction of two-dimensional and three-dimensional nanometric shapes. The designability and rigidity of DNA origami make it an ideal material for construction of topologically linked molecules such as catenanes, which are attractive for their potential as motors and molecular machines ...

Improved Bayesian methods for detecting recombination and rate heterogeneity in DNA sequence alignments [PDF]
, 2011 DNA sequence alignments are usually not homogeneous. Mosaic structures may result as a consequence of recombination or rate heterogeneity. Interspecific recombination, in which DNA subsequences are transferred between different (typically viral or ...

Topoisomerase IIα represses transcription by enforcing promoter-proximal pausing
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Accumulation of topological stress in the form of DNA supercoiling is inherent to the advance of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and needs to be resolved by DNA topoisomerases to sustain productive transcriptional elongation.

A topological analysis of difference topology experiments of condensin with topoisomerase II
Biology Open, 2020 An experimental technique called difference topology combined with the mathematics of tangle analysis has been used to unveil the structure of DNA bound by the Mu transpososome. However, difference topology experiments can be difficult and time consuming.

A fundamental regulatory mechanism operating through OmpR and DNA topology controls expression of Salmonella pathogenicity islands SPI-1 and SPI-2. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 DNA topology has fundamental control over the ability of transcription factors to access their target DNA sites at gene promoters. However, the influence of DNA topology on protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions is poorly understood.

DNA Mechanics and Topology [PDF]
, 2018 We review the current understanding of the mechanics of DNA and DNA-protein complexes, from scales of base pairs up to whole chromosomes. Mechanics of the double helix as revealed by single-molecule experiments will be described, with an emphasis on the role of polymer statistical mechanics.

Probing hyper-negatively supercoiled mini-circles with nucleases and DNA binding proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 It is well accepted that the introduction of negative supercoils locally unwinds the DNA double helix, influencing thus the activity of proteins. Despite the use of recent methods of molecular dynamics simulations to model the DNA supercoiling-induced ...
