Isolation of folded chromosomes from Mycoplasma hyorhinis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Folded chromosomes were isolated from Mycoplasma hyorhinis. When examined by electron microscopy, these molecules show variability of loop size, number of loops, total contour length and degree of twisting of the DNA. Sedimentation velocity was unaltered after treatment with RNase, proteinase K, SDS, temperatures up to 65 degrees C and NaCl concentrations from 0.1 M to 4 M.

The prevalence of Mycoplasma hyorhinis contamination in tissues samples from cancer patients: A Brief Report
Infectious agents cause 15-20% of cancers worldwide. The infectious agents and contamination may be caused by a local chronic and advanced local inflammatory response, or by tumorization. Mycoplasma contamination can interfere with biological agents and cause DNA damage which affects gene expression, and disrupts the control of cell cycle inspection and apoptotic responses. Mycoplasmas are wide...
متن کاملDepletion of CG-Specific Methylation in Mycoplasma hyorhinis Genomic DNA after Host Cell Invasion
Adaptation to the environment requires pathogenic bacteria to alter their gene expression in order to increase long-term survival in the host. Here, we present the first experimental evidence that bacterial DNA methylation affects the intracellular survival of pathogenic Mycoplasma hyorhinis. Using bisulfite sequencing, we identified that the M. hyorhinis DNA methylation landscape was distinct ...
متن کاملChemical and serological properties of Mycoplasma hyorhinis fractions.
Mycoplasma hyorhinis organisms were fractionated into lipid, carbohydrate, and protein fractions by chemical and physiochemical procedures. When all fractions were tested for complement fixation and inhibition of growth inhibition activity, only the protein fractions possessed activity. Thus, it appears that the major antigenic component of M. hyorhinis is a protein.
متن کاملMycoplasma hyorhinis infection in gastric carcinoma and its effects on the malignant phenotypes of gastric cancer cells
BACKGROUND Mycoplasma hyorhinis infection has been postulated to play a role in the development of several types of cancer, but the direct evidence and mechanism remained to be determined. METHODS Immunohistochemistry assay and nested polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) were performed to examine the mycoplasma hyorhinis infection in gastric cancer tissues. Statistical analysis was used to check t...
متن کاملN-Terminal Polypeptide of Annexin A2 Decreases Infection of Mycoplasma hyorhinis to Gastric Cancer Cells.
Mycoplasma infection in human and its contamination in cell cultures are worldwide problems. The drugs currently available for preventing or treating mycoplasma infection suffer from low sensitivity, strong resistance and high toxicity. Our previous work showed that Mycoplasma hyorhinis (M. hyorhinis) infection was mediated by the interaction between p37 of M. hyorhinis and Annexin A2 (ANXA2) o...
