Novel site-specific DNA modification in Streptomyces: analysis of preferred intragenic modification sites present in a 5.7 kb amplified DNA sequence.
Both Streptomyces lividans and Streptomyces avermitilis encode similar systems of post-replicative DNA modification which act site-specifically on closely opposed guanines on either strand. The modifications can be detected since they react in vitro with an oxidative derivative of Tris, resulting in strand cleavage. Previous analysis of the preferred modification site of plasmid pIJ101 indicate...
متن کاملSequence-specific modification of genomic DNA by small DNA fragments.
Small DNA fragments have been used to modify endogenous genomic DNA in both human and mouse cells. This strategy for sequence-specific modification or genomic editing, known as small-fragment homologous replacement (SFHR), has yet to be characterized in terms of its underlying mechanisms. Genotypic and phenotypic analyses following SFHR have shown specific modification of disease-causing geneti...
متن کاملDNA modification by sulfur: analysis of the sequence recognition specificity surrounding the modification sites
The Dnd (DNA degradation) phenotype, reflecting a novel DNA modification by sulfur in Streptomyces lividans 1326, was strongly aggravated when one (dndB) of the five genes (dndABCDE) controlling it was mutated. Electrophoretic banding patterns of a plasmid (pHZ209), reflecting DNA degradation, displayed a clear change from a preferential modification site in strain 1326 to more random modificat...
متن کاملAmplified DNA in Streptomyces fradiae.
A spontaneous mutant of Streptomyces fradiae contained an amplifiable unit of DNA with a sequence length of approximately 10.5 kilobases that was amplified to approximately 500 copies per chromosome. The amplified DNA appears to be cryptic. SalI fragments of the amplified DNA were cloned into Escherichia coli to construct a restriction map and characterize the amplified DNA. The amplified DNA c...
متن کاملSequence-specific targeting and covalent modification of human genomic DNA.
We compare two techniques which enable selective, nucleotide-specific covalent modification of human genomic DNA, as assayed by quantitative ligation- mediated PCR. In the first, a purine motif triplex-forming oligonucleotide with a terminally appended chlorambucil was shown to label a target guanine residue adjacent to its binding site in 80% efficiency at 0.5 microM. Efficiency was higher in ...
