Assembly of low-complexity ssDNA curtains. (A) A phosphorylated template (black) and a biotinylated primer (green) are annealed and treated with T4 DNA ligase to make minicircles. Low-complexity ssDNA composed solely of thymidine and cytidine is synthesized via rolling circle replication by phi29 DNAP. (B) Low-complexity ssDNA curtains with fluorescent end labeling. The 3′ end of the ssDNA was labeled with a fluorescent antibody. (C) RPA-GFP (green)-coated ssDNA with fluorescent end labeling (magenta). (D) Kymograph of a representative ssDNA in panel (C) with buffer flow on and off, indicating that the ssDNA is anchored to the surface via the 5′-biotin tether.
