Combinatorial Gene Control02:33

Combinatorial Gene Control

9.7K
Combinatorial gene control is the synergistic action of several transcriptional factors to regulate the expression of a single gene. The absence of one or more of these factors may lead to a significant difference in the level of gene expression or repression.
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...

Lagging Strand Synthesis

61.3K
During replication, the complementary strands in double-stranded DNA are synthesized at different rates. Replication first begins on the leading strand. Replication starts later, occurs more slowly, and proceeds discontinuously on the lagging strand.
There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...

Single-Strand DNA Binding Proteins01:03

Single-Strand DNA Binding Proteins

16.7K
For successful DNA replication, the unwinding of double-stranded DNA must be accompanied by stabilization and protection of the separated single strands of the DNA. This crucial task is performed by single-strand DNA-binding (SSB) proteins. They bind to the DNA in a sequence-independent manner, which means that the nitrogenous bases of the DNA need not be present in a specific order for binding of SSB proteins to it. The binding of SSB proteins straightens single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and makes...

Fixing Double-strand Breaks02:04

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

14.6K
The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...

DNA Helicases00:55

DNA Helicases

24.1K
DNA unwinding helicase enzymes are a type of motor protein. Motor proteins can translocate along filaments or polymers using energy generated from ATP hydrolysis. Helicases are involved in all the important cellular processes where DNA unwinding is required, such as DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. They are present in all living organisms, but vary in their structure, function, and mechanism of action. For example, in prokaryotes, DnaB helicase binds and translocates...

  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Synthetic Chemistry

Background:

  • Combinatorial random DNA libraries are crucial for discovering novel aptamers.
  • Traditional methods can suffer from reduced representativeness due to competitive amplification.

  • A modified enzymatic method combining amplification in isolated microvolumes with simultaneous incorporation of modified nucleotides.
  • Use of deoxyuridine triphosphate with hydrophobic substituents (amino acid side chain analogues) at the C5 position.
  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in inverse emulsion to prevent competitive amplification and ensure library representativeness.
  • Separation of PCR product strands to generate single-stranded DNA libraries.

Main Results:

  • Successfully developed a method for preparing combinatorial random DNA libraries with modified nucleotides.
  • Created six distinct single-stranded DNA libraries with complete deoxythymidine substitution by modified analogues.
  • The modified DNA libraries are compatible with the SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) aptamer selection methodology.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method provides a robust platform for generating diverse and representative DNA libraries.
  • These modified DNA libraries are well-suited for aptamer generation targeting protein targets via enhanced hydrophobic interactions.
