Cytoskeletal crowding plays a key role in the diffusion of DNA molecules through the cell, acting as a barrier to effective intracellular transport and conformational stability required for processes such as transfection, viral infection, and gene therapy. Here, we elucidate the transport properties and conformational dynamics of linear and ring DNA molecules diffusing through entangled and crosslinked composite networks of actin and microtubules. We couple single-molecule conformational tracking with differential dynamic microscopy to reveal that ring and linear DNA exhibit unexpectedly distinct transport properties that are influenced differently by cytoskeleton crosslinking. Ring DNA coils are swollen and undergo heterogeneous and biphasic subdiffusion that is hindered by crosslinking. Conversely, crosslinking actually facilitates the single-mode subdiffusion that compacted linear chains exhibit. Our collective results demonstrate that transient threading by cytoskeleton filaments plays a key role in the dynamics of ring DNA, whereas the mobility of the cytoskeleton dictates transport of linear DNA.

Using a method for obtaining DNA from 10 to 40 macronuclei for electron microscopy, we analyzed the structure of gene-sized, linear DNA molecules from S-phase macronuclei of two hypotrichous ciliates, Euplotes eurystomus and Styx sp. Three types of putative replicating intermediates were observed: (i) molecules with a bubble close to one end, (ii) molecules with single forks, and (iii) molecules with two forks. We conclude that: (i) each macronuclear DNA molecule replicates as an independent unit, (ii) the molecules contain an origin of replication close to one or both ends, and (iii) the mode of replication is bidirectional.
