DNA end resection and its role in DNA replication and DSB repair choice in mammalian cells

DNA end resection has a key role in double-strand break repair and DNA replication. Defective DNA end resection can cause malfunctions in DNA repair and replication, leading to greater genomic instability. DNA end resection is initiated by MRN-CtIP generating short, 3′-single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). This newly generated ssDNA is further elongated by multiple nucleases and DNA helicases, such as EXO1, DNA2, and BLM. Effective DNA end resection is essential for error-free homologous recombination DNA repair, the degradation of incorrectly replicated DNA and double-strand break repair choice. Because of its importance in DNA repair, DNA end resection is strictly regulated. Numerous mechanisms have been reported to regulate the initiation, extension, and termination of DNA end resection. Here, we review the general process of DNA end resection and its role in DNA replication and repair pathway choice.Subject terms: Double-strand DNA breaks, Cell signalling     

Complexation induced by weak interaction between DNA and PEO-b-P4VP below the CMC of the polymer

The complexation between circular DNA and individual chains of PEO-b-P4VP with a relatively long PEO block and a short P4VP block is highly controllable when the interaction between DNA and the polymer is weak enough. When one circular DNA chain is taken into consideration, and the polymer concentration is far below its critical micelle concentration(CMC), polymer chains are absorbed by DNA chain due to the interaction between the negatively charged DNA chain and the slightly positively charged P4VP block chains. After the adsorption/complexation, the DNA chain is converted into a nanoring(type 1). In the nanoring, the DNA chain is sufficiently wrapped by the polymer and adopts a fully stretched conformation, so that the DNA compact ratio in the nanorings is close to 1. When the polymer concentration is close to but lower than the CMC, the free polymer chains in the solution are adsorbed not only by the DNA chain but also by the polymer chains that have already been adsorbed on the DNA chain. As a result, the circular DNA chain adsorbs more polymer chains, and thus the resultant nanoring(type 2) has a larger width. In the type 2 nanoring, the DNA chain is slightly compressed; the DNA compact ratio is only about 2-3. Therefore, complexation induced by the weak interaction between DNA and PEO-b-P4VP below the CMC can produce narrow-disperse and large nanorings with a perimeter of micrometers, which are difficult to prepare by existing methods.     

Self‐assembly of DNA Origami Using Rolling Circle Amplification Based DNA Nanoribbons

During the development of structural DNA nanotechnology, the emerging of scaffolded DNA origami is marvelous. It utilizes DNA double helix inherent specificity of Watson‐Crick base pairing and structural features to create self‐assembling structures at the nanometer scale exhibiting the addressable character. However, the assembly of DNA origami is disorderly and unpredictable. Herein, we present a novel strategy to assemble the DNA origami using rolling circle amplification based DNA nanoribbons as the linkers. Firstly, long single‐stranded DNA from Rolling Circle Amplification is annealed with several staples to form kinds of DNA nanoribbons with overhangs. Subsequently, the rectangle origami is formed with overhanged staple strands at any edge that would hybridize with the DNA nanoribbons. By mixing them up, we illustrate the one‐dimensional even two‐dimensional assembly of DNA origami with good orientation.     

Thermodynamics of DNA condensation caused by mn2+ binding

Interaction between Mn2+ ion and the two forms of DNA duplex (supercoiled and linearized pUC119 DNA) in solution has been examined by isothermal titration calorimetry. Although DNA condensation reaction heat was observed at 323 K, this was not the case at 298 K. DNA condensation was entropically driven and supercoiled DNA was found to be more susceptive. The enthalpy of DNA condensation is estimated 0.42 kJ/mol for both DNA forms. Conversely, the entropy of DNA condensation was 0.13 kJ/mol K for supercoiled DNA, and 0.12 kJ/mol K for linearized DNA. The difference of entropy is attributable to their DNA conformation.

Anomeric DNA Strand Displacement with α-D Oligonucleotides as Invaders and Ethidium Bromide as Fluorescence Sensor for Duplexes with α/β-, β/β- and α/α-D Configuration

DNA strand displacement is a technique to exchange one strand of a double stranded DNA by another strand (invader). It is an isothermal, enzyme free method driven by single stranded overhangs (toeholds) and is employed in DNA amplification, mismatch detection and nanotechnology. We discovered that anomeric (α/β) DNA can be used for heterochiral strand displacement. Homochiral DNA in β-D configuration was transformed to heterochiral DNA in α-D/β-D configuration and further to homochiral DNA with both strands in α-D configuration. Single stranded α-D DNA acts as invader. Herein, new anomeric displacement systems with and without toeholds were designed. Due to their resistance against enzymatic degradation, the systems are applicable to living cells. The light-up intercalator ethidium bromide is used as fluorescence sensor to follow the progress of displacement. Anomeric DNA displacement shows benefits over canonical DNA in view of toehold free displacement and simple detection by ethidium bromide.     

Photochemical approach to probing different DNA structures

The various conformations of DNA--the A, B, and Z forms, the protein-induced DNA kink, and the G-quartet form--are thought to play important biological roles in processes such as DNA replication, gene expression and regulation, and the repair of DNA damage. The investigation of local DNA conformational changes associated with biological events is therefore essential for understanding the function of DNA. In this Minireview, we discuss the use of photochemical dehalogenation of 5-halouracil-containing DNA to probe the structure of DNA. Hydrogen abstraction by the resultant uracil-5-yl radicals is atom-specific and highly dependent on the structure of the DNA, suggesting that this photochemical approach could be applied as a probe of DNA conformations in living cells.

Separation of single-stranded DNA fragments at a 10-nucleotide resolution by stretching in microfluidic channels

We report a novel DNA separation method by tethering DNA chains to a solid surface and then stretching the DNA chains with an electric field. The anchor is such designed that the critical force to detach a DNA chain is independent of its size. Because the stretching force is proportional to the DNA net charge, a gradual increase of the electric field leads to size-based removal of the DNA strands from the surface and thus DNA separation. Here we show that this method, originally proposed for separation of long double-stranded DNA chains (>10,000 base pairs), is also applicable to single-stranded (ss) DNA fragments with less than 100 nucleotides (nt). Theoretical analysis indicates that the separation resolution is limited by the fluctuation forces on tethered DNA chains. By employing a microfluidic platform with narrow channels filled with a buffer of low ionic conductivity, we are able to apply a strong electric field to the DNA fragments with negligible Joule heating. Upon stepwise increments of the electric field, we demonstrate efficient separation of short ssDNA fragments at a 10-nt resolution.
