Figure Lengend Snippet: a Formation of the peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-RBD trimer by coupling three RBD-Fc on the three Fc-binding domains of a protein G (PG): i . A PNA strand is conjugated to a PG via maleimide chemistry. ii . PG-PNA is used to couple three RBD-Fc. iii . The trimer is purified from the free RBD-Fc. b Two separate faces of the PB are modified with ssDNA overhangs on defined locations to facilitate attachment of the PG-RBD complex and CpG adjuvants.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Different types of DNA curtains. (A) Schematic illustration of a single-tethered DNA curtain made with a linear barrier. (B) Double-tethered DNA curtain where the downstream ends of the DNA are tethered to the exposed anchor points that project above the bilayer. Both formats are compatible with either dsDNA or ssDNA.

Article Snippet: Preparation of ssDNA Our ssDNA curtain experiments make use of relative long ssDNA substrates (≥40,000 nucleotides) that are made by rolling circle replication with a biotinylated oligonucleotide primer and a circular ssDNA template ( Gibb et al., 2012 ), as described later. list-behavior=enumerated prefix-word= mark-type=decimal max-label-size=0 The biotinylated primer is first annealed to a circular M13 DNA template in a 100-μL reaction containing: 40 m M Tris-HCl [pH 8.0], 50 m M NaCl, 10 m M MgCl 2 , 10 μg (89.4 n M ) of M13mp18 (New England Biolabs, Cat. No. N4040S), and 45 n M primer (5′-BIO-TEG-TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT GTA AAA CGA CGG CCA GT).

Figure Lengend Snippet: RPA-coated ssDNA curtains. (A) Wide-field TIRFM image of a double-tethered ssDNA curtain bound by RPA-eGFP. (B) Kymograph showing what takes place when single-tethered ssDNA molecules are labeled with RPA-eGFP. The ssDNA slowly becomes longer as RPA-eGFP binds and disrupts existing secondary structure. (C) Kymograph showing facilitated dissociation of RPA from the ssDNA when free RPA is injected into the sample chamber. RPA-eGFP is shown in green, and RPA-mCherry is shown in magenta, and the color-coded arrowheads indicate successive injections of each protein. (D) Kymographs of a single-tethered ssDNA showing that the exchange of wild-type RPA-eGFP with wild-type RPA-mCherry does not alter ssDNA length (upper panel), whereas exchange of the RPAt48 mutant, which is defective for ssDNA binding, with wild-type RPA-mCherry coincides with an increase in ssDNA length.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Kymographs showing presynaptic complex assembly reactions. (A) RPA-eGFP-ssDNA curtains were first incubated with 1 μM S. cerevisiae wild-type (unlabeled) Rad51 and 2.5 mM ATP. Binding of Rad51 to the ssDNA is revealed as a rapid loss of RPA-eGFP fluorescence signal. The sample chambers were then flushed (1st chase) with buffer containing 1.0 nM RPA-eGFP and either no nucleotide or 2.5 mM of the indicated nucleotide cofactor, followed by a 30-min incubation. Disassembly of the Rad51-ssDNA presynaptic filaments is revealed by the binding of RPA-eGFP to the exposed ssDNA. The sample chambers were then flushed (2nd chase) with additional buffer containing 0.1 nM RPA-eGFP and no nucleotide cofactor, and incubated for an additional 30-min. (B) Quantitation of the Rad51 filament stability in the presence of various nucleotide cofactors, as indicated. Error bars represent s.d. Adapted with permission from Qi, Z., Redding, S., Lee, J.
