NMR evidence for base dynamics at all TpA steps in DNA

NMR evidence is presented indicating that the exceptional conformational dynamics found at TpA steps in DNA is general to all immediate sequence contexts. One easily tractable NMR parameter that is sensitive to TpA base dynamics is the resonance linewidth of the TpA adenine H2 proton. This resonance experiences a temperature-dependent broadening due to conformational dynamics. Unusual dynamics at TpA steps were originally observed in the sequence context (T)pTpTpApAp(A). We have since shown that the evidence for TpA dynamics persists when either the thymine preceding the TpA step or the adenine following the TpA step is preserved [McAteer et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 23, 3962-3966 (1995)]. Here, in order establish whether or not exceptional TpA dynamics occurs in all DNA sequence contexts, we investigated a series of DNA sequences of the form GCNaTANbNbTANaGC, where N=A,T,C,G. In this family of sequences, all 16 possible immediate sequence context environments of the form NaTANb were examined using 10 DNA sequences. Our NMR results show that the TpA adenine H2 resonance contains a temperature dependent excess linewidth indicative of dynamics in all 16 sequence context environments. By studying a complete set of sequence contexts, it was possible to recognize trends relating resonance parameters and sequence environment. For example, the magnitude of the maximum linewidth is largely determined by the identity of the nucleotide following the TpA step and the magnitude of the linewidth maximum is moderately correlated (r=0.56) with the temperature of the linewidth maximum. The physical basis for these correlations is discussed.     

Probing the dynamics of restriction endonuclease NgoMIV‐DNA interaction by single‐molecule FRET

Many type II restriction endonucleases require two copies of their recognition sequence for optimal activity. Concomitant binding of two DNA sites by such an enzyme produces a DNA loop. Here we exploit single‐molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) of surface‐immobilized DNA fragments to study the dynamics of DNA looping induced by tetrameric endonuclease NgoMIV. We have employed a DNA fragment with two NgoMIV recognition sites and a FRET dye pair such that upon protein‐induced DNA looping the dyes are brought to close proximity resulting in a FRET signal. The dynamics of DNA ‐ NgoMIV interactions proved to be heterogeneous, with individual smFRET trajectories exhibiting broadly different average looped state durations. Distinct types of the dynamics were attributed to different types of DNA ‐ protein complexes, mediated either by one NgoMIV tetramer simultaneously bound to two specific sites (“slow” trajectories) or by semi‐specific interactions of two DNA‐bound NgoMIV tetramers (“fast” trajectories), as well as to conformational heterogeneity of individual NgoMIV molecules.     

Characterization of a novel DNA minor-groove complex

Many dicationic amidine compounds bind in the DNA minor groove and have excellent biological activity against a range of infectious diseases. Para-substituted aromatic diamidines such as furamidine, which is currently being tested against trypanosomiasis in humans, and berenil, which is used in animals, are typical examples of this class. Recently, a meta-substituted diamidine, CGP 40215A, has been found to have excellent antitrypanosomal activity. The compound has a linear, conjugated linking group that can be protonated under physiological conditions when the compound interacts with DNA. Structural and molecular dynamics analysis of the DNA complex indicated an unusual AT-specific complex that involved water-mediated H-bonds between one amidine of the compound and DNA bases at the floor of the minor groove. To investigate this unique system in more detail DNase I footprinting, surface plasmon resonance biosensor techniques, linear dichroism, circular dichroism, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and additional molecular dynamics simulations have been conducted. Spectrophotometric titrations of CGP 40215A binding to poly(dAT)(2) have characteristics of DNA-binding-induced spectral changes as well as effects due to binding-induced protonation of the compound linker. Both footprinting and surface plasmon resonance results show that this compound has a high affinity for AT-rich sequences of DNA but very weak binding to GC sequences. The dissociation kinetics of the CGP 40215A-DNA complex are much slower than with similar diamidines such as berenil. The linear dichroism results support a minor-groove complex for the compound in AT DNA sequences. Molecular dynamics studies complement the structural analysis and provide a clear picture of the importance of water in mediating the dynamic interactions between the ligand and the DNA bases in the minor groove.

Sequence-dependent dynamics of duplex DNA: the applicability of a dinucleotide model

The short-time (submicrosecond) bending dynamics of duplex DNA were measured to determine the effect of sequence on dynamics. All measurements were obtained from a single site on duplex DNA, using a single, site-specific modified base containing a rigidly tethered, electron paramagnetic resonance active spin probe. The observed dynamics are interpreted in terms of single-step sequence-dependent bending force constants, determined from the mean squared amplitude of bending relative to the end-to-end vector using the modified weakly bending rod model. The bending dynamics at a single site are a function of the sequence of the nucleotides constituting the duplex DNA. We developed and examined several dinucleotide-based models for flexibility. The models indicate that the dominant feature of the dynamics is best explained in terms of purine- and pyrimidine-type steps, although distinction is made among all 10 unique steps: It was found that purine-purine steps (which are the same as pyrimidine-pyrimidine steps) were near average in flexibility, but the pyrimidine-purine steps (5' to 3') were nearly twice as flexible, whereas purine-pyrimidine steps were more than half as flexible as average DNA. Therefore, the range of stepwise flexibility is approximately fourfold and is characterized by both the type of base pair step (pyrimidine/purine combination) and the identity of the bases within the pair (G, A, T, or C). All of the four models considered here underscore the complexity of the dependence of dynamics on DNA sequence with certain sequences not satisfactorily explainable in terms of any dinucleotide model. These findings provide a quantitative basis for interpreting the dynamics and kinetics of DNA-sequence-dependent biological processes, including protein recognition and chromatin packaging.     

Model of DNA Dynamics and Replication

Before DNA replication can be initiated a definite number of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) containing pre-replication protein complexes (pre-RCs) must be assembled and bound to DNA like in a super-critical mass. A chemically driven dynamics of the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) type is derived, using the non-equilibrium equation for binding of pre-RCs to DNA and a probabilistic conformational distribution of these protein complexes. This dynamics, in which the DNA-protein system behaves like a nonlinear elastically braced string (NEBS), can control the cell cycle via conformational transitions such that G₂ cells contain exactly twice as much DNA as G₁ cells. After adjustment of previously-made derivations, the model is compared with cell growth data from the T lymphocyte MLA-144.     

Applying the stochastic difference equation to DNA conformational transitions: a study of B-Z and B-A DNA transitions

Despite the existence of numerous models to account for the B-Z DNA transition, experimenters have not yet arrived at a conclusive answer to the structural and dynamical features of the B-Z transition. By applying the stochastic difference equation to simulate the B-Z DNA transition, we have shown that the stretched intermediate model of the B-Z transition is more probable than other B-Z transition models such as the Harvey model. This is accomplished by comparing potential energy profiles of various B-Z DNA transition models and calculating relative probabilities based on the stochastic difference equation with respect to length (SDEL) formalism. The results garnered in this article allow for new approaches in determining the structural transition of B-DNA to Z-DNA experimentally. We have also simulated the B-A DNA transition using the stochastic difference equation. Unlike the B-Z DNA transition, the mechanism for the B-A DNA transition is well established. The variation in the pseudorotation angle during the transition is in good agreement with experimental results. Qualitative features of the simulated B-A transition also agree well with experimental data. The SDEL approach is thus a suitable numerical technique to compute long-time molecular dynamics trajectory for DNA molecules.     

Dynamics of kinks in inhomogeneous polynucleotide chains

In the present paper the dynamics of the nonlinear conformational excitations — kinks, in inhomogeneous polynucleotide DNA chains is investigated. To calculate the kink rest energy E₀ and its size d the method of dynamical interval is used. This makes it possible to take into account that all coefficients of the model dynamic equation — the sine-Gordon equation depend on the sequence of bases. It is shown that the method gives an opportunity to calculate dynamical characteristics of any artificial and real sequences that is important for implementing tasks associated with the search and analysis of functionally important DNA sites.
