Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

19.3K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

The Replisome

33.4K
DNA replication is carried out by a large complex of proteins that act in a coordinated matter to achieve high-fidelity DNA replication. Together this complex is known as the DNA replication machinery or the replisome.
The synthesis of the leading and lagging strands is a highly coordinated process. To explain this, the “Trombone model” was proposed by Bruce Alberts in 1980. The DNA loop formation starts when a primer is synthesized on the parent lagging strand. The loop grows with...

Background:

  • DNA's properties enable programmed self-assembly for nanomaterial construction.
  • Replicating complex DNA origami and wireframe nanoassemblies is a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a strategy for self-replication of DNA wireframe nanoassemblies.
  • To explore the use of isothermal ligase chain reaction lesion-induced DNA amplification (LIDA) for DNA nanotechnology.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a self-replicating DNA triangle wireframe structure.
  • Utilized cross-catalysis with a linear analog and complementary fragments containing an abasic lesion.
  • Employed isothermal ligase chain reaction lesion-induced DNA amplification (LIDA).

Main Results:
