SURVEY AND SUMMARY SURVEY AND SUMMARY Nucleoside triphosphate-dependent restriction enzymes
The known nucleoside triphosphate-dependent restriction enzymes are hetero-oligomeric proteins that behave as molecular machines in response to their target sequences. They translocate DNA in a process dependent on the hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate. For the ATP-dependent type I and type III restriction and modification systems, the collision of translocating complexes triggers hydroly...
متن کاملAlpha-carboxy nucleoside phosphonates as universal nucleoside triphosphate mimics.
Polymerases have a structurally highly conserved negatively charged amino acid motif that is strictly required for Mg(2+) cation-dependent catalytic incorporation of (d)NTP nucleotides into nucleic acids. Based on these characteristics, a nucleoside monophosphonate scaffold, α-carboxy nucleoside phosphonate (α-CNP), was designed that is recognized by a variety of polymerases. Kinetic, biochemic...
متن کاملThe nucleoside triphosphate content of various bacteriophages.
In 1959, Kozloff and Lute (1) presented morphological and biochemical evidence showing that one of the major components of the tail of bacteriophage T2 was a contractile protein. T2 was found to contain bound nucleoside triphosphates; 51 molecules’ of acid-extractable adenosine triphosphate and 17 molecules’ of deoxy-ATP per T2 particle were determined by an isotope dilution technique (1). T2 h...
متن کاملNucleoside triphosphate pool asymmetry in mammalian mitochondria.
Our laboratory has reported that deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools in rat tissue mitochondria are highly asymmetric, with dGTP predominating, and that the imbalance probably contributes toward the high spontaneous mutation rate of the mitochondrial genome. Ferraro et al. (Ferraro, P., Nicolosi, L., Bernardi, P., Reichard, P., and Bianchi, V. (2006) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 103,...
متن کاملThe other face of restriction: modification-dependent enzymes
The 1952 observation of host-induced non-hereditary variation in bacteriophages by Salvador Luria and Mary Human led to the discovery in the 1960s of modifying enzymes that glucosylate hydroxymethylcytosine in T-even phages and of genes encoding corresponding host activities that restrict non-glucosylated phage DNA: rglA and rglB (restricts glucoseless phage). In the 1980's, appreciation of the...
