Linear Amplification Mediated PCR – Localization of Genetic Elements and Characterization of Unknown Flanking DNA
Published on: June 25, 2014
Resumen
Los investigadores crearon líneas celulares con regiones genéticas amplificadas mediante la transferencia de genes. El análisis reveló que el ADN amplificado forma una matriz de tándem heterogéneo, lo que sugiere modelos que implican la replicación y la recombinación del ADN.

- Biología celular Biología celular.
Sus antecedentes:
- La amplificación génica es un mecanismo clave en el desarrollo del cáncer y la resistencia a los medicamentos.
- Comprender la base estructural del ADN amplificado es crucial para las estrategias terapéuticas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la estructura física de las secuencias amplificadas de ADN en líneas celulares recién generadas.
- Aclarar los mecanismos subyacentes a la amplificación génica a nivel molecular.
Principales métodos:
- La transferencia de genes se utilizó para crear líneas celulares con regiones cromosómicas amplificadas.
- Se analizaron clones recombinantes de matrices de ADN amplificadas para determinar su estructura física.
Principales resultados:
- El ADN amplificado formó una matriz tándem de al menos 20 unidades repetitivas.
- Las unidades eran contiguas y unidas por recombinación homóloga, creando una estructura heterogénea.
- La recombinación se produjo entre las secuencias repetidas, lo que lleva a una estructura de matriz irregular.
Conclusiones:
- La amplificación génica implica múltiples ciclos de replicación no programada del ADN en un solo lugar.
- Eventos de recombinación posteriores vinculan unidades individuales, en última instancia, la integración de ellos en el cromosoma.
- Este estudio proporciona información sobre la compleja organización estructural del ADN amplificado.

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes
Eukaryotes have large genomes compared to prokaryotes. To fit their genomes into a cell, eukaryotic DNA is packaged extraordinarily tightly inside the nucleus. To achieve this, DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, which are packaged into nucleosomes that are joined by linker DNA and coil into chromatin fibers. Additional fibrous proteins further compact the chromatin, which is recognizable as chromosomes during certain phases of cell division.

Overview
DNA as a Genetic Template
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...
DNA Isolation
DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...
Duplication of Chromatin Structure
The process of chromosome duplication during cell division requires genome-wide disruption and re-assembly of chromatin. The chromatin structure must be accurately inherited, reassembled, and maintained in the daughter cells to ensure lineage propagation.
The basic unit of the chromatin is the nucleosome, consisting of DNA wrapped around octameric histone proteins and short stretches of linker DNA separating individual nucleosomes. The histone proteins within the nucleosome have their...

Nucleic Acid Structure
The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.
