DNA Adsorption at Liquid/Solid Interfaces (2008)
Douarche, C., Cortes, R., Roser, S.J., Sikorav, J. L., Braslau, A.
DNA adsorption on solid or liquid surfaces is a topic of broad fundamental and applied interest. Here, we study by X-ray reflectivity the adsorption of monodisperse double-stranded DNA molecules on a...
Sikorav, J L, Auffray, C, Rougeon, F
The complete sequence for the constant and 3' untranslated regions of a mouse gamma 2a immunoglobulin heavy chain mRNA is reported. The sequence is 1093 nucleotides long coding for the CH1...
Structural relationships among mouse and human immunoglobulin VH genes in the subgroup III.
Ollo, R, Sikorav, J L, Rougeon, F
The mouse VHIII subgroup is composed of four families which share sequence homology. We isolated a VH germ-line genomic clone, which cross hybridizes with a cDNA probe from one of these families,...
Mouse heavy chain variable regions: nucleotide sequence of a germ-line VH gene segment.
Ollo, R, Auffray, C, Sikorav, J L, Rougeon, F
We have constructed a library of Balb/c mouse embryo DNA in the vector Charon 4A. The library was searched for sequences homologous to the VH region of a cloned cDNA of the UPC10 heavy chain mRNA. In...

In this paper, we show the existence of alternative splicing in the 3' region of the coding sequence of Torpedo acetylcholinesterase (AChE). We describe two cDNA structures which both diverge from...
Sikorav, J L, Krejci, E, Massoulié, J
cDNA clones coding for a catalytic subunit of acetylcholinesterase were isolated from cDNA libraries constructed from Torpedo marmorata electric organ. The nucleotide sequence of the cloned cDNAs...
A liquid crystalline phase in spermidine-condensed DNA.
Sikorav, J L, Pelta, J, Livolant, F
Over a large range of salt and spermidine concentrations, short DNA fragments precipitated by spermidine (a polyamine) sediment in a pellet from a dilute isotropic supernatant. We report here that...
Forces on chromosomal DNA during anaphase.
Jannink, G, Duplantier, B, Sikorav, J L
In the course of anaphase, the chromosomal DNA is submitted to the traction of the spindle. Several physical problems are associated with this action. In particular, the sister chromatids are...
Anaphase chromatid motion: involvement of type II DNA topoisomerases.
Duplantier, B, Jannink, G, Sikorav, J L
Sister chromatids are topologically intertwined at the onset of anaphase: their segregation during anaphase is known to require strand-passing activity by type II DNA topoisomerase. We propose that...
Kinetics of chromosome condensation in the presence of topoisomerases: a phantom chain model.
We discuss the requirement of type II DNA topoisomerase in the process of mitotic chromosome condensation. Using a known model describing the collapse of homopolymers, we propose that the compaction...
Precipitation of DNA by polyamines: a polyelectrolyte behavior.
Raspaud, E, Sikorav, J L, Livolant, F
Conditions of double-stranded DNA precipitation by the polyamines spermidine and spermine have been determined experimentally and compared to theoretical predictions. The influence of the...
