Enzymatic mutation detection: enrichment of heteroduplexes from hybrid DNA mixtures by cleavage-deficient GST-tagged endonuclease VII.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for the enrichment of heteroduplex DNAs from hybrid DNA mixtures by endonuclease VII is reported. The procedure is based on the ability of a GST-fused cleavage-deficient mutant endonuclease VII (EVII-N62D(GST)) to bind to mismatching nucleotides in heteroduplex DNAs identical to the wild-type enzyme. The GST tag was used for stable immobilisation of the protein to Glutathione Sepharose 4B. This enables the material to withstand the repeated rounds of binding steps required for enrichment of heteroduplex molecules from appropriate samples.

Screening for mutations by enzyme mismatch cleavage with T4 endonuclease VII.
Each of four possible sets of mismatches (G.A/C.T, C.C/G.G, A.A/T.T, and C.A/G.T) containing the 8 possible single-base-pair mismatches derived from isolated mutations were examined to test the ability of T4 endonuclease VII to consistently detect mismatches in heteroduplexes. At least two examples of each set of mismatches were studied for cleavage in the complementary pairs of heteroduplexes ...

Current methods of detecting known mutations in genes are efficient and have in many instances been incorporated into the armamentarium of diagnostic medicine. Many genetic diseases, however, including autosomal dominant diseases with high mutation rates and genetically lethal X chromosome-linked diseases, result from heterogeneous and often private mutations in the respective genes. Methods of...
متن کاملEndonuclease cleavage of blocked replication forks: An indirect pathway of DNA damage from antitumor drug-topoisomerase complexes.
The cytotoxicity of several important antitumor drugs depends on formation of the covalent topoisomerase-DNA cleavage complex. However, cellular processes such as DNA replication are necessary to convert the cleavage complex into a cytotoxic lesion, but the molecular mechanism of this conversion and the precise nature of the cytotoxic lesion are unknown. Using a bacteriophage T4 model system, w...

Detection of low-level DNA variations in the presence of wild-type DNA is important in several fields of medicine, including cancer, prenatal diagnosis and infectious diseases. PCR-based methods to enrich mutations during amplification have limited multiplexing capability, are mostly restricted to known mutations and are prone to polymerase or mis-priming errors. Here, we present Differential S...
متن کاملHigh-throughput TILLING for Arabidopsis.
Targeting induced local lesions in genomes (TILLING) is a general strategy for identifying induced point mutations that can be applied to almost any organism. In this chapter, we describe the basic methodology for high-throughput TILLING. Gene segments are amplified using fluorescently tagged primers, and products are denatured and reannealed to form heteroduplexes between the mutated sequence ...
