An increase in temperature from 20 to 50° C results in the complete transition from the Z to B form of poly(d(G-C)], dissolved in a 55% ethanol-water solution. The transition is fully reversible and displays a slow kinetics. The transition profiles for the free polynucleotide and for that in the presence of ethidium bromide, which is known to stabilize the B form, are obtained by circular dichroism. Based on these data the enthalpy value for the B-Z transition in our conditions is estimated to be ΔHBZ = ?0.7 . 相似文献

Studying the dimeric RNA structural organization is a step toward the understanding of retroviral genomic RNA dimerization.
A kissing loop dimer is rearranged into an extended dimer during maturation of the virus particle. The extended dimer formation
may be inhibited by ligands interacting with the RNA kissing loop dimer. A study was made of the interaction of dimeric RNA
with paromomycin and magnesium ions. RNA dimers were formed from two hairpin RNAs having complementary sequences in the loop.
The structural features of RNA dimers and the influence of the ligands were inferred from the fluorescence of 2-aminopurine
(2-AP) incorporated in one of the two RNA hairpin sequences. As dimeric RNA interacted with paromomycin, 2-AP fluorescence
increased. The increase was explained by a flipping of the fluorescent base out of the RNA structure. The binding constants
and stoichiometry were estimated for dimeric RNA binding with paromomycin. An RNA dimer was found to interact with two paromomycin
molecules; the binding constant was approximately the same (about 3 × 105 M−1) for both types of dimers. It was observed that the antibiotic and Mg2+ ions compete for binding to the hairpin RNA dimer and that one paromomycin molecule is displaced by one Mg2+ ion. 相似文献

The circular dichroism study of water/trifluoroethanol (TFE) solutions of poly(dG-dC) has revealed the following: The polynucleotide is present as a B form up to a TFE content of 60% (v/v) or less. Then, a cooperative transition into a left-handed Z form occurs. Within the region of 66-78% TFE, a continuous non-cooperative change is going on which can be attributed to an intrafamily transition within the family of Z forms. At last, in the interval of 80-84% TFE, a second cooperative transition, probably, Z - A is realized. Both transitions, Z - A and Z - B, show slow kinetics (10-60 min) while the direct transitions from the A to B form taking less than 10 sec. The length of cooperativity for the B - Z transition, Vo = 25 base pairs was estimated using spermine molecules. Spermine was found to induce the B to Z transition in the (dG-dC) sequences even in the absence of TFE which might be biologically interesting. 相似文献

Abstract Poly[d(G-C)] in a 55% ethanol solution undergoes a transition from the Z form to the B form when the temperature is increased from 20° to 50°C. The enthalpy of the transition, ΔHBA =—1.4 kcal/mol, has been determined with a “tie” polyamine which stabilizes the Z conformation. This value has been shown to be practically independent of ionic strength within the range of 5 x 104 M—2 x 103 M NaCl. 相似文献

Abstract Experimental phase diagrams (A form, B form, Coil) were built in the coordinates (a, alcohol fraction: T, temperature) for the natural DNAs and poly d(A-T). The main parameter of the B-A transition,—cooperativity length, v o, was estimated by the slopes of the branches A-B, A-Coil, B-Coil in the vicinity of the triple point: v o +AD0- 10-20 base pairs, which corresponds to the energy for the B/A junction of 1.2–1.8 kcal/mol. We discovered two new effects which are due to the coexistence of the three different conformations in one polymeric molecule: an increase in the melting temperature above that for the ‘ideal’ triple point (i.e. for the case of the ideal phase transitions); a widening of the melting curve within the B-A transition range. The physics of these phenomena is discussed. 相似文献

Abstract The formation of Antiparallel-Parallel-Combination (APC) DNA, a liner duplex with a segment of parallel-stranded (ps) helix flanked by conventional B-DNA, was tested with a number of synthetic oligonucleotides. The groove-binding ligand distamycin A (DstA) was used to stabilize the ps segment comprising five A·T base pairs. Two drug molecules bound per APC, one in each of the two equivalent grooves characteristic of ps-DNA. APC-DNA, reference molecules and their complexes with DstA were analysed by several methods: circular dichroism and absorption spectroscopy, thermal denaturation, chemical modification, and molecular modeling. The dye binding stoichiometry differed significantly due to inherent structural differences in the groove geometries of ps-DNA (trans base pairs, similar grooves) and conventional antiparallel-stranded (aps) B-DNA (cis base pairs, distinct major and minor grooves). The data support the existence of APC folding in solution. 相似文献
