Isolation of covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acid from bacteria which produce exocellular nuclease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reproducible yields of covalently closed circular (plasmid) deoxyribonucleic acid were obtained from mutants defective for extracellular nuclease but not from the corresponding wild-type strain of Serratia marcescens

Effect of protein synthesis on plasmid maintenance in Streptococcus faecalis.
Plasmid-to-chromosome ratios in Enterobacteriaceae, upon interruption of protein synthesis by chloramphenicol, are either conserved or increased when measured by dye buoyant density centrifugation. We have found, on the other hand, that the effect of inhibition of protein synthesis on the amount of covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acid visualized by this method in two strains of Stre...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a kanamycin resistance plasmid from Staphylococcus aureus.
A circular covalently closed duplex deoxyribonucleic acid plasmid carrying genes for resistance to kanamycin/neomycin has been identified in Staphylococcus aureus E419. The plasmid has a molecular size of 9.2 x 10(6) daltons and can be transduced into or can transform competent susceptible strains of S. aureus to kanamycin/neomycin resistance.
متن کاملPartial characterization of nucleoids and nucleoid-plasmid complexes from Salmonella typhimurium.
Nucleoids from Salmonella typhimurium strain LT2 consist of supercoiled deoxyribonucleic acid structures that are ribonuclease labile sedimenting at 1,700S. More than 90% of the covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acid of a cryptic plasmid harbored by this strain cosediments with the host's 1,700S nucleoids.
متن کاملNuclease TT1 from Thermus thermophilus HB8 has an endonuclease activity preferential to circular DNAs.
Homogeneously purified nuclease TT1 from Thermus thermophilus HB8 is known as an exonuclease to produce 5'-mononucleotides. Besides the exonuclease activity, nuclease TT1 also possesses endonuclease activity preferential to superhelical (form I) and single-stranded circular DNA. Although the rate of cleavage is slower than that of form I, covalently closed circular DNA (form I') is also cleaved...
متن کاملEndonucleolytic activity from Micrococcus luteus that acts on -ray-induced damage in plasmid DNA of Escherichia coli minicells.
A partially purified extract from Micrococcus luteus contains endonucleolytic activity toward ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). We found that the same extract also acts on superhelical, covalently-closed circular lambdadv DNA isolated from gamma-irradiated minicells of E. coli. The introduction of nicks in isolated covalently-closed circular DNA by an endonuclease in the ...
