摘要
En 中文
In experiments using optical or magnetic tweezers, investigators have monitored the rate at which polymerase enzymes catalyze DNA replication when the template strand is subjected to a stretching force. For T7, Klenow, and Sequenase polymerases, the replication rate increases modestly at low tension and then decreases markedly at higher tension. Molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations using x-ray structure data for the open and closed complexes-of the Taq enzyme with DNA revealed that the dependence of replication rate on tension could be accounted for in terms of the induced enthalpy changes for the two DNA segments adjacent to the site of the added nucleotide. Here, we present a simple, minimalist two-segment local model (M2L) derived from some striking features seen in the MD simulations. The model predicts the tension dependence of the replication rate using only structural data and a critical tension, f*, without recourse to MD simulations. At f*, the outermost DNA segment undergoes a large angular reorientation in the open conformation of the enzyme. We give a generic plot for the M2L model, apply it to family A and B polymerases and HIV reverse transcriptase, and discuss factors that may govern the f* flip parameter.
