Eukaryotic non-coding DNA is functional: evidence from the differential scaling of cryptomonad genomes

Genic DNA functions are commonplace: coding for proteins and specifying non-messenger RNA structure. Yet most DNA in the biosphere is non-genic, existing in nuclei as non-coding or secondary DNA. Why so much secondary DNA exists and why its amount per genome varies over orders of magnitude (correlating positively with cell volume) are central biological problems. A novel perspective on secondary DNA function comes from natural eukaryote eukaryote chimaeras (cryptomonads and chlorarachneans) where two phylogenetically distinct nuclei have coevolved within one cell for hundreds of millions of years. By comparing cryptomonad species differing 13-fold in cell volume, we show that nuclear and nucleomorph genome sizes obey fundamentally different scaling laws. Following a more than 125-fold reduction in DNA content, nucleomorph genomes exhibit little variation in size. Furthermore, the present lack of significant amounts of nucleomorph secondary DNA confirms that selection can readily eliminate functionless nuclear DNA, refuting 'selfish' and 'junk' theories of secondary DNA. Cryptomonad nuclear DNA content varied 12-fold: as in other eukaryotes, larger cells have extra DNA, which is almost certainly secondary DNA positively selected for a volume-related function. The skeletal DNA theory explains why nuclear genome size increases with cell volume and, using new evidence on nucleomorph gene functions, why nucleomorph genomes do not.     

Whole genome sequencing of environmental Vibrio cholerae O1 from 10 nanograms of DNA using short reads

Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA) of DNA using φ29 (phi29) DNA polymerase amplifies DNA several billion-fold, which has proved to be potentially very useful for evaluating genome information in a culture-independent manner. Whole genome sequencing using DNA from a single prokaryotic genome copy amplified by MDA has not yet been achieved due to the formation of chimeras and skewed amplification of genomic regions during the MDA step, which then precludes genome assembly. We have hereby addressed the issue by using 10 ng of genomic Vibrio cholerae DNA extracted within an agarose plug to ensure circularity as a starting point for MDA and then sequencing the amplified yield using the SOLiD platform. We successfully managed to assemble the entire genome of V. cholerae strain LMA3984-4 (environmental O1 strain isolated in urban Amazonia) using a hybrid de novo assembly strategy. Using our method, only 178 out of 16,713 (1%) of contigs were not able to be inserted into either chromosome scaffold, and out of these 178, only 3 appeared to be chimeras. The other contigs seem to be the result of template-independent non-specific amplification during MDA, yielding spurious reads. Extraction of genomic DNA within an agarose plug in order to ensure circularity of the extracted genome might be key to minimizing amplification bias by MDA for WGS.     

DNA contained by two densonucleosis viruses.

The DNA contained by particles of densonucleosis viruses 1 and 2 were analyzed within the particle, and properties of DNA extracted from these particles were determined. The DNA appears to exist as a single-stranded molecule with limited secondary structure within particles, as assessed by spectral changes induced by formaldehyde, melting profiles, and circular dichroism studies. The single-stranded DNA had an apparent molecular weight of 1.9 X 10(6) to 2.2 X 10(6) as assessed by differences in the molecular weight of virus particles and top component and percentage of nucleic acid. DNA extracted from virus particles in low-salt buffers possessed properties typical of a single-stranded molecule. Double-stranded DNA could be extracted from virus particles under appropriate high salt and elevated temperature. The linear double-stranded DNA extracted from both viruses had a molecular weight of about 3.9 X 10(6) to 4.1 ZX 10(6) determined by neutral sedimentation and electron microscopy and an equivalent genome size determined by reassociation kinetics. About 87% of the DNA was homologous between the two viruses.

Structural study of the lipid-containing bacteriophage PRD1 and its capsid and DNA components by laser Raman spectroscopy

The Raman spectrum of a virus contains the structural signature of each of its molecular components (Thomas, 1987). We report the first Raman spectrum obtained from an intact, lipid-containing virus--the icosahedral bacteriophage PRD1--and show that this spectrum contains characteristic structure markers for the major capsid protein, the packaged double-stranded DNA genome, and the viral membrane which resides between the capsid and DNA. We find that the packaged genome of PRD1 exhibits Raman markers typical of the B-DNA secondary structure. Comparison of the Raman spectrum of the packaged DNA with that of protein-free DNA extracted from the virion shows further that the B-form secondary structure is not significantly perturbed by packaging in the virion. The Raman signature of the PRD1 membrane, monitored within the virion at 4 degrees C, is that of a phospholipid liquid-crystalline phase. The PRD1 capsid, which comprises several hundred copies of the major coat protein P3 (product of viral gene III) and a few copies of minor proteins, incorporates P3 capsomers predominantly in the beta-sheet conformation. The beta-sheet structure of P3 is maintained in the fully assembled PRD1 virion, as well as in the empty capsid. The present results demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining structural information from the three different classes of biomolecules--nucleic acid, protein, and lipid--which constitute a membrane-lined virus particle. Our results also demonstrate that the coat protein and double-stranded DNA components of a lipid-containing bacteriophage share many structural features in common with bacteriophage lacking a lipid membrane.     

The Human Specialized DNA Polymerases and Non-B DNA: Vital Relationships to Preserve Genome Integrity

In addition to the canonical right-handed double helix, DNA molecule can adopt several other non-B DNA structures. Readily formed in the genome at specific DNA repetitive sequences, these secondary conformations present a distinctive challenge for progression of DNA replication forks. Impeding normal DNA synthesis, cruciforms, hairpins, H DNA, Z DNA and G4 DNA considerably impact the genome stability and in some instances play a causal role in disease development. Along with previously discovered dedicated DNA helicases, the specialized DNA polymerases emerge as major actors performing DNA synthesis through these distorted impediments. In their new role, they are facilitating DNA synthesis on replication stalling sites formed by non-B DNA structures and thereby helping the completion of DNA replication, a process otherwise crucial for preserving genome integrity and concluding normal cell division. This review summarizes the evidence gathered describing the function of specialized DNA polymerases in replicating DNA through non-B DNA structures.
