We present a method of detecting sequence defects by supercoiling DNA with magnetic tweezers. The method is sensitive to a single mismatched base pair in a DNA sequence of several thousand base pairs. We systematically compare DNA molecules with 0 to 16 adjacent mismatches at 1 M monovalent salt and 3.5 pN force and show that, under these conditions, a single plectoneme forms and is stably pinned at the defect. We use these measurements to estimate the energy and degree of end-loop kinking at defects. From this, we calculate the relative probability of plectoneme pinning at the mismatch under physiologically relevant conditions. Based on this estimate, we propose that DNA supercoiling could contribute to mismatch and damage sensing in vivo.

In our studies on the regulation of adjacent-gene expression by Ty sequences, we demonstrated that a single-base-pair change (T-A----C-G) in the epsilon sequence of Ty917-derived elements is primarily responsible for enhancement of beta-galactosidase expression from lacZ fusion plasmids. Using an electrophoretic gel mobility assay, we showed that the same base pair transition is required for binding of a trans-acting factor, TyBF, from crude cell extracts in vitro. We identified the site of TyBF binding and determined the guanine nucleotide contact sites required for TyBF interaction. We propose that TyBF binding to cis-acting Ty2 sequences activates adjacent-gene transcription.
