  31. SUPERCOILING

  32. DNA supercoiling (circular plasmid)

  33. L = linking number = number of strand crossings T = twist = number of turns of double helix W = writhe = number of helix crossovers L = T + W s = supercoiling density = (L – L0) / L0 = DL / L0 typically s ~ -0.06 (1 crossing less per 17 turns) DNA supercoiling

  34. Linking number (L or Lk) – a topological constant

  35. Low force High force Twist (T) versus Writhe (W)

  36. L = T + W

  37. L.H. R.H. Interwound and toroidal forms of a negatively supercoiled plasmid

  38. Ethidium bromide intercalates into DNA and reduces its twist by ~26°

  39. Effect of an intercalator on a negatively supercoiled plasmid

  40. Topoisomerase I - single strand cuts - releases negative supercoiling Topoisomerase II - double strand cuts (eukaryotes) - releases negative supercoiling Topo II (gyrase) - generates negative supercoiling (prokaryotes) - consumes ATP Reverse gyrase - generates positive supercoiling (thermophiles) Topoisomerases

  41. Topoisomerase I – single strand cuts

  42. Topoisomerase II – double strand cuts

  43. Topo II (gyrase)DNA wrapping
