The inverted repeat as a recognizable structural feature in supercoiled DNA molecules.

Open access

Abstract

The single-strand-specific endonuclease S1 from Aspergillus oryzae introduces highly selective cleavages into supercoiled covalently closed circular DNA molecules, but not into their previously linearized counterparts. The cleavage sites are inverted repeats of unit length between 9 and 13 base pairs, separated by a nonrepetitious 2-6 base pairs. Such regions may adopt hairpin or similar structures stabilized by the negative superhelix density and may constitute recognition sites for cellular proteins.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
