“An End to a Means”: How DNA-End Structure Shapes the Double-Strand Break Repair Process
Endogenously-arising DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) rarely harbor canonical 5′-phosphate, 3′-hydroxyl moieties at the ends, which are, regardless of the pathway used, ultimately required for their repair.

Tumor suppressor p53 binds with high affinity to CTG-CAG trinucleotide repeats and induces topological alterations in mismatched duplexes [PDF]
DNA binding is central to the ability of p53 to function as a tumor suppressor. In line with the remarkable functional versatility of p53, which can act on DNA as a transcription, repair, recombination, replication, and chromatin accessibility factor ...

The core of a class of non-atomic games which arise in economic applications [PDF]
We study the core of a non-atomic game v which is uniformly continuous with respect to the DNA-topology and continuous at the grand coalition. Such a game has a unique DNA-continuous extension on the space B 1 of ideal sets. We show that if the extension

DNA Mechanics and Topology [PDF]
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.

Topological Behavior of Plasmid DNA [PDF]
ABSTRACT The discovery of the B-form structure of DNA by Watson and Crick led to an explosion of research on nucleic acids in the fields of biochemistry, biophysics, and genetics. Powerful techniques were developed to reveal a myriad of different structural conformations that change B-DNA as it is transcribed, replicated, and ...

Hsmar1 transposition is sensitive to the topology of the transposon donor and the target. [PDF]
Hsmar1 is a member of the Tc1-mariner superfamily of DNA transposons. These elements mobilize within the genome of their host by a cut-and-paste mechanism.

Detection of recombination in DNA multiple alignments with hidden markov models [PDF]
CConventional phylogenetic tree estimation methods assume that all sites in a DNA multiple alignment have the same evolutionary history. This assumption is violated in data sets from certain bacteria and viruses due to recombination, a process that leads

Genome topology is tied to R-loop formation and genome stability. However, the regulatory mechanism remains to be elucidated. By establishing a system to sense the connections between R-loops and genome topology states, we show that inhibiting DNA ...

Structural basis for allosteric regulation of Human Topoisomerase IIα
Type 2 DNA topoisomerases (Top2) regulates DNA topology during DNA replication, transcription, and chromosome segregation. Here the authors describe a complete structure of the catalytic core of the human Topo IIα bound to DNA and etoposide, providing ...

Evolutionary relationships in Panicoid grasses based on plastome phylogenomics (Panicoideae; Poaceae) [PDF]
Background: Panicoideae are the second largest subfamily in Poaceae (grass family), with 212 genera and approximately 3316 species. Previous studies have begun to reveal relationships within the subfamily, but largely lack resolution and/or robust ...
