A DNA minor groove electronegative potential genome map based on photo-chemical probing. Lindemose S, Nielsen PE, Hansen M, Møllegaard NE. Nucleic Acids Res. 2011 Apr 8.
Aim • Predicting DNA minor groove electronegative potential based on sequences.
Uranyl Photocleavage • Sequence dependent cleavage of DNA. • Maximum cleavage correlates with minimum minor groove width and also with the largest electronegative potential.
Material and Methods Pentamer library: 7 members (94 nt each) All possible 1024 combinations of pentanucleotidesequences.
Material and Methods • Sliding window of five bases:
Nucleosome Electrostatic potential in the nucleosome The role of DNA shape in protein-DNA recognition. Rohs R, West SM, Sosinsky A, Liu P, Mann RS, Honig B. Nature. 2009 Oct 29;461(7268):1248-53.
Nucleosome High cleavage in nucleosome, low in promoters.
Sum • Cleavage prediction correlate well with experimental cleavage. • A DNA minor groove electronegative potential genome map based on photo-chemical probing.
