Abstract
To gain a clue as to the functional significance of DNA curvature, we experimentally characterized the distribution of bent DNA structures t hroughout the 35-kb cen1 sequence, one of the isolated functional cent romeric DNA of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. It was re vealed that a relatively large central portion of cen1, covering a 2.2 kb DNA sequence, displays a remarkable DNA curvature.
