A general model for the early recognition and colocalization of homologous DNA sequences is proposed. We show, on thermodynamic grounds, how the distance between two homologous DNA sequences is spontaneously regulated by the concentration and affinity of diffusible mediators binding them, which act as a switch between two phases corresponding to independence or colocalization of pairing regions.
提出了一种用于同源DNA序列早期识别和共定位的通用模型。我们基于热力学原理表明,两个同源DNA序列之间的距离如何通过结合它们的可扩散介质的浓度和亲和力自发调节,这些介质在对应于配对区域独立或共定位的两个相之间起开关作用。
