- W1983223089 abstract "Changes in linking number and the apparent winding angle of pBR322 DNA have been evaluated in mixed ethanol-water solvents containing either Na or Mg as the major counterion contributing to the electrostatic shielding of the duplex. The average number of superhelical turns (tau) produced in the standard electrophoresis buffer (Tris-borate-EDTA, pH 8.0) by the transfer of DNA, relaxed in 200 mM NaCl, 10 mM NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4, and 2 mM EDTA, pH 7, by calf thymus topoisomerase or ligated in 6.6 mM MgCl2, 1 mM KCl, 1 mM ATP, 1 mM dithiothreitol, and 66 mM Tris, pH 7.6, by T4 ligase, was determined as a function of the EtOH concentration. At low enzyme concentrations, the tau values became increasingly more positive in the presence of both cations as the ethanol concentration increased, indicating that the duplex structure was overwound in the ethanol solvents. Winding angle changes between 0 and 20% ethanol, calculated from these values of tau, exhibited the same correlations with CD spectral properties as had been previously observed for 100% aqueous systems containing monovalent cations [Kilkuskie, R., Wood, N., Shinn, R., Ringquist, S., & Hanlon, S. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 4377-4386]. The results at higher concentrations of ethanol (25-30%), however, were anomalous for the Mg-ligase system. The anomalies increased with higher ethanol, ligase, or Mg concentration. Gel run under these conditions showed enhanced concentrations of slow-moving components, indicative of ligation of intermolecular associated DNA species. At a 10-fold higher level of ligase, ethanol appeared to unwind the duplex, confirming the results of Lee, Mizusawa, and Kakefuda [(1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 2838-2842]. All of these anomalies occur under solvent conditions which are close to conditions which produce a heterogeneous dispersion of sedimenting species in ultracentrifugal experiments and compact rodlike structures, visualized by electron microscopy. The circular dichroism spectra at the onset of the formation of these structures show the characteristics of a chirally packed array of DNA duplexes. The reversal of the trend of the ethanol effect on linking number at higher enzyme and Mg(II) concentrations can be most easily explained by the promotion of the condensation phenomenon by either the ligase or a contaminating factor in the preparation. We suggest that the anomalies in the linking number and winding angle values are due to either ligation of chirally bent DNA species or a change in the helical period as the linear DNA adapts to the conformation required for collapse.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
