    摘要:

    摘要:目的 研究不同盐离子浓度、拥挤剂和力对双根DNA扭转超螺旋结构的影响。方法 以10 kb DNA为研究对象,利用磁镊的流动腔实验探究不同浓度的Na+、K+、Mg2+、聚乙二醇(Polyethylene glycol, PEG)和不同大小的力对双根DNA扭转编织体长度随圈数变化的影响。结果 双根DNA扭转结构对盐离子浓度敏感,对PEG不敏感。离子浓度越大,编织体长度随圈数变化越平缓,且Mg2+的静电屏蔽饱和浓度远低于单价阳离子。拥挤环境对DNA的影响主要为轮廓长度压缩。在4 pN以上力作用下DNA扭转结构更为稳定,2 pN以下超螺旋结构波动较大。结论 DNA的编织体结构与力学性质受所处溶液离子浓度和力的影响。研究结果有助于进一步探究染色质扭转受溶液环境影响的机制,并为拓扑异构酶在不同溶液条件下的作用效果提供参考。

    Abstract:

    Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of different ion concentration and crowding agent on the torsional structure and mechanical properties of double DNAs braiding. Methods Taking 10 kb DNA as the research object, the effects of different concentrations of Na+, K+, Mg2+, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and different forces on the extension of the twisted braid of double DNA were investigated by the flow chamber experiment of magnetic tweezers. Results The double DNA twist superhelix is sensitive to metal ion concentration but insensitive to PEG. With the increase of ion concentration, the braids’ extension changes more gently with the rotation number, and the electrostatic shielding saturation concentration of the Mg2+ is much lower than that of the monovalent cation. The effect of crowded environment on DNA was mainly compression. The twisted structure of DNA is more stable under high force (4 pN ), and the structure fluctuates greatly under low force(2 pN). Conclusions The structure and mechanical properties of the superhelix produced in DNA replication are affected by the solution environment. The results may contribute to elucidate the mechanism of chromatin torsional torque affected by solution environment, and provide reference for the function of topoisomerase under different solution conditions.
