Before we begin to study in detail the structure and activities of genes, and the experimental evidence underlying those concepts, we need a fuller outline of the adventure that lies before us. Thus, in this chapter and in chapter 3, we will fl esh out the brief history of molecular biology presented in chapter 1. In this chapter we will begin this task by considering the behavior of genes as molecules.

We report here the direct evidence for the formation of alternative DNA structures in a plasmid DNA, termed pTIR10, containing a 0.23-kb pyrimidine/purine-biased (Pyr/Pur) stretch isolated from the rat genome. Long Pyr/Pur sequences are abundant in eukaryotic genomes, and they may modulate the biological activity of genes and genomes via formation of various types of triplex-related structures. The plasmid DNA in sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.35) was deposited on APS-modified mica, and after drying it was imaged with an atomic force microscope in air. ...

A splicing factor SF2/ASF is a natural substrate for the kinase activity of human topoisomerase I. This study demonstrates that SF2/ASF inhibits DNA cleavage by human topoisomerase I induced by the anti-cancer agent camptothecin. The inhibition is independent of the phosphorylation status of SF2/ASF. We show that the inhibition did not result from binding of SF2/ASF to DNA that would hinder interactions between topoisomerase I and DNA. Neither it was a consequence of a loss of sensitivity of the enzyme to camptothecin.

During the development of multicellular organisms, both transient and stable gene expression patterns have to be established in a precisely orchestrated sequence. Evidence from diverse model organisms indicates that this epigenetic program involves not only transcription factors, but also the local structure, composition, and modification of chromatin, which define and maintain the accessibility and transcriptional competence of the nucleosomal DNA template.

People everywhere expected the new millennium to bring surprises. But the particular shock and horror that rippled through the international viticulture community in 2000 was most unexpected. It had been found that sixteen of the most highly prized varieties of wine-making grapes were the products of mating between the classic Pinot and the classically undervalued Gouais grape. This blew the proverbial cork off the industry's bottle because the Gouais was considered such an inferior specimen that there were even attempts to ban its cultivation in France during the Middle Ages.

The structure–activity relations of a series of synthetic phenoxazone drugs with aminoalkyl side chains of variable length and different terminal groups were investigated by examining their biological activity and DNA complexation affinity. Biological activitywas determined fromtheir ability to induce apoptosis and cell cycle perturbations (activation of cell cycle checkpoints) using the human malignant MOLT-3 cell line. The thermodynamic parameters of drug– DNA complexation were determined by differential scan-ning calorimetry....

Histones are modified post-translationally, e.g. by methylation of lysine and arginine residues, and by phosphorylation of serine residues. These modifications regulate processes such as gene expression, DNA repair, and mitosis and meiosis. Recently, evidence has been provided that histones are also modified by covalent binding of the vitamin biotin.

DiGIR2 is the group I splicing-ribozyme of themobile twin-ribozyme intron Dir.S956-1,present in Didymiumnuclear ribosomal DNA. DiGIR2 is responsible for intron excision, exon ligation,3¢-splice site hydrolysis,and full-length intron RNA circle formation. We recently reported that DiGIR2 splicing (intron excision and exon ligation) competes with hydrolysis and subsequent full-length intron circularization. Herewe present experimental evidence that hydrolysis at the 3¢-splice site in DiGIR2 is dependent on structural elements within the P9 subdomain not involved in splicing....

As a critical step of the preinitiation complex assembly in transcription, the general transcription factor TFIIB forms a complex with the TATA-box binding protein (TBP) bound to a promoter element. Transcriptional activators such as the herpes simplex virus VP16 facilitate this com-plex formation through conformational activation of TFIIB, a focal molecule of transcriptional initiation and activation.

The role of non-B DNA in the function and stability of genomes has become generally appreciated in recent years. It is now evident that DNA also encodes for spatial structures that are involved in gene regulation, replication and recombination.

Although allostery plays a central role in driving protein–DNA interac-tions, the physical basis of such cooperative behavior remains poorly understood. In the present study, using isothermal titration calorimetry in conjunction with site-directed mutagenesis, we provide evidence that an intricate network of energetically-coupled residues within the basic regions of the Jun-Fos heterodimeric transcription factor accounts for its allosteric binding to DNA.

Functional cooperation between FACT and the MCM helicase complex constitutes an integral step during DNA replication initiation. However, mode of regulation that underlies the proper functional interaction of FACT and MCM is poorly understood. Methods & Results: Here we present evidence indicating that such interaction is coordinated with cell cycle progression and differential complex formation. We first demonstrate the existence of two distinct FACT-MCM subassemblies, FACT-MCM2/4/6/7 and FACT-MCM2/3/4/5. Both complexes possess DNA unwinding...
