Proteins that bind double-stranded nucleic acids can discriminate based on helical shape, but single-stranded RNA and DNA have few conformational differences. Furthermore, the base-mediated binding mode and relative scarcity of contact with the 2′ functional group displayed by these proteins impede differentiation between RNA and DNA.
The yields of single- and double-strand breaks (SSB and DSB) in calf thymus DNA, after 60Co gamma irradiation in dilute aqueous solution, have been determined via molecular weight measurements using a low-angle laser light scattering technique. The irradiations were administered to N2O-containing solutions of DNA in the absence and presence of ...
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a double-strand chromosome break created by the HO endonuclease is frequently repaired in mitotically growing cells by recombination between flanking homologous regions, producing a deletion. We showed that single-stranded regions were formed on both sides of t …
The repair pathway continues by either (i) the double Holliday junction sub-pathway (dHJ) in which the second end is captured and a double Holliday junction is formed and resolved, or by (ii) the synthesis-dependent single-strand annealing sub-pathway (SDSA), in which the invading strand unbinds from the donor through branch …
Double-strand breaks in DNA can be lethal to a cell. How do cells fix them? Aa Aa Aa. Figure 1. The genome of a cell is continuously damaged, which is inevitable because …
TOTO causes single-strand cleavage approximately five times less efficiently than YOYO. No direct double-strand breaks (dsb) are detected with YO or YOYO, but in both cases single-strand breaks (ssb) are observed to accumulate to eventually produce double-strand cleavage. With intercalated YO the accumulation …
Whereas uracils manifest as cytosine-to-thymine (C-to-T) substitutions in single-stranded libraries 1, libraries prepared with double-stranded methods carry both C-to-T and guanine-to-adenine (G ...

Figure 1 Model for repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination in somatic cells. When a DNA double-strand break (DSB) occurs in a DNA molecule, repair can proceed by multiple …
1. DNA Strand Breaks. DNA strand breaks occur when one or both strands of DNA are interrupted. There are two types: single-strand breaks (SSBs) where one strand is cut, and double-strand breaks (DSBs) where both strands are cut. These breaks can be caused by ionizing radiation like X-rays and gamma rays, as well as certain …
RNA nucleotides contain the nitrogenous bases adenine, cytosine, and guanine. However, they do not contain thymine, which is instead replaced by uracil, symbolized by a "U." RNA exists as a single-stranded molecule rather than a double-stranded helix. Molecular biologists have named several kinds of RNA on the basis of their function.
Double-stranded probes with two sequential "hotspots" were efficiently displacing the strands in an isosequential DNA duplex under physiological ion conditions. However, the DSI-efficiency in longer DNA duplexes containing a short …
The processing of double-strand breaks and binding of single-strand-binding proteins RPA and Rad51 modulate the formation of ATR-kinase foci in yeast. J. Cell Sci. 120, 4209–4220 (2007).
"Dirty" single and double strand DNA breaks created by high or low LET IR may contain virtually unprocessable, unligatable ends (Weinfeld and Soderlind, 1991). Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase, for example, can require several hours to remove phosphoglycolate moieties from 3' DNA ends (Zhou et al., 2009).
A DNA Molecule Consists of Two Complementary Chains of Nucleotides. A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits. Each of these chains is known as a DNA chain, or a DNA strand.Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotides hold the two chains together ().As we saw in …

Double-strand breaks in E.coli can also be repaired through a second pathway, called the RecF pathway. While this pathway is primarily involved in the homology-directed repair of single-stranded DNA gaps formed during replication of a damaged DNA template, it can also substitute for RecBCD in the repair of double …

The generation of single stranded DNA plays a key role in in vitro selection of DNA aptamers and in other molecular techniques such as DNA sequencing and microarrays. Here we describe three novel …
So you'll make this double-stranded crochet blanket by holding two strands of worsted weight yarn together. Since this makes a thicker, bulkier yarn than a single strand, you'll work with a larger crochet hook. Other than that, though, you're doing the same thing that you've already learned how to do as a crocheter. Nothing new here.
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are severe DNA lesions that can result in deleterious genomic rearrangements if not repaired faithfully 1,2,3.DSBs can form as a result of ectopic noxae, such as ...
The double-stranded DNA of the circular bacteria chromosome is opened at the origin of replication, forming a replication bubble. Each end of the bubble is a replication fork, a Y …
In the recent years, it has been described that different types of sperm DNA breaks (single and double strand DNA breaks) cause different clinical reproductive effects. On one hand, single-strand DNA breaks are present extensively as a multiple break points in all regions of the genome, are related to oxidative stress and cause a lack of ...
To ward off against the catastrophic consequences of persistent DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), eukaryotic cells have developed a set of complex signaling networks that detect these DNA lesions, orchestrate cell cycle checkpoints and ultimately lead to their repair. Collectively, these signaling networks comprise the DNA damage …
A DNA double strand break (DSB) is a highly toxic lesion, which can generate genetic instability and profound genome rearrangements. However, DSBs are required to generate diversity during physiological processes such as meiosis or the establishment of the immune repertoire. ... signaling and single-stranded resection dictate the choice …
The repair of chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) is essential to normal cell growth, and homologous recombination is a universal process for DSB repair. We explored DSB repair mechanisms in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using single-strand oligonucleotides with homology to both sides of a …
Briefly, the DNA system consists of two linear double-strand DNA (dsDNA) segments ~1,510 bp in length that are connected to each other by a third double-strand DNA segment, termed a 'bridge ...
Single-strand breaks (SSBs) are discontinuities in one strand of the DNA double helix and are usually accompanied by loss of a single nucleotide and by damaged 5′- and/or 3′-termini at the ...
The double-strand break is enlarged by nucleases to leave overhanging single strands. An undamaged strand from the double-stranded homolog pairs with the resected region and serves as a template for DNA synthesis. The crossed over strands form a Holliday junction which can be resolved in different ways.
