Analyses of inverted repeats localization in bacterial genomes
Šedý, Michal ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Brázda, Václav (advisor)
Inverted repeats (IR) are common part of DNA of all living prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Inverted repeats plays an important role in the regulation of basics cells processes. They are responsible for formation of cruciform structures. Inverted repeats also cause genomic instability and can be a source of numerous mutations. Cruciform structures can be recognized by DNA-binding proteins and can also act as a transcriptional regulators. Using the Palindrome Analyser tool, the frequency of IR and localization of inverted repeats in bacterial genomes was analyzed. The frequency of IR across the bacterial genome is variable. The frequency of short inverted repeats shows an approximately quadratic dependence on the %GC content in the genome with a minimum of about 50% of GC content. The localization of inverted repeats with respect to “annotated features” show a non-random distribution. The frequency of IR for most features is higher “outside” than “inside”.
The presence and localization of local DNA structures in the genome of Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Kubínová, Michaela ; Šedrlová, Zuzana (referee) ; Brázda, Václav (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the study of local DNA structures (cruciforms and G quadruplexforming sequence) in the genome of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a yeast used in the food industry. The analysed local structures are non-randomly distributed within the genome. Based on previous studies, it has been found that they often colocalize with regulatory regions of genes and that the role of these secondary structures in the regulation of basic cellular processes (e.g. replication or transcription) is significant. This analysis was performed using specialized bioinformatics tools (G4Hunter and Palindrome Analyser) that allowed me to identify and analyze these structures in terms of their presence and localization. Many times less IR was found in mtDNA compared to the occurrence of IR in chromosomes. The number and frequency of PQS in mtDNA was also found to be very low. It is very different from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in this respect. It was also found that the number of IRs found decreases with increasing IR length and about 17% of IRs do not have a loop. A large enrichment of IRs was observed in the repeat_region and rRNA, and in the case of PQS in the rRNA and mRNA regions, i.e. sequences important for cellular processes.
