Replication Intermediates

The replication origin region for DNA amplification in Sciara coprophila DNA puff II/9A was analyzed with a novel three-dimensional (3D) gel method. Our 3D gel method involves running a neutral/neutral 2D gel and then cutting out vertical gel slices from the area containing replication intermediates, rotating these slices 90 degrees to form the third dimension, and running an alkaline gel for each of the slices. Therefore, replication intermediates are separated into forks and bubbles and then are resolved into parental and nascent strands. We used this technique to determine the size of forks and bubbles and to confirm the location of the major initiation region previously mapped by 2D gels to a 1-kb region. Furthermore, our 3D gel analyses suggest that only one initiation event in the origin region occurs on a single DNA molecule and that the fork arc in the composite fork-plus-bubble pattern in neutral/neutral 2D gels does not result from broken bubbles.

Displacement Measurements

We previously introduced the use of DNA molecules for calibration of biophysical force and displacement measurements with optical tweezers. Force and length scale factors can be determined from measurements of DNA stretching. Trap compliance can be determined by fitting the data to a nonlinear DNA elasticity model, however, noise/drift/offsets in the measurement can affect the reliability of this determination. Here we demonstrate a more robust method that uses a linear approximation for DNA elasticity applied to high force range (25–45 pN) data. We show that this method can be used to assess how small variations in microsphere sizes affect DNA length measurements and demonstrate methods for correcting for these errors. We further show that these measurements can be used to check assumed linearities of system responses. Finally, we demonstrate methods combining microsphere imaging and DNA stretching to check the compliance and positioning of individual traps.
