High-quality chromosomal DNA is a requirement for many biochemical and molecular biological techniques. To isolate cellular DNA, standard protocols typically lyse cells and separate nucleic acids from other biological molecules using a combination of chemical and physical methods. After a standard chemical-based protocol to isolate chromosomal DNA from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and then treatment with RNase A to degrade RNA, two RNase-resistant bands persisted when analyzed using gel electrophoresis. Interestingly, such resistant bands did not appear in preparations of Escherichia coli bacterial DNA after RNase treatment. Several enzymatic, chemical, and physical methods were employed in an effort to remove the resistant RNAs, including use of multiple RNases and alcohol precipitation, base hydrolysis, and chromatographic methods. These experiments resulted in the development of a new method for isolation of S. cerevisiae chromosomal DNA. This method utilizes selective precipitation of DNA in the presence of a potassium acetate/isopropanol mixture and produces high yields of chromosomal DNA without detectable contaminating RNAs. 相似文献

In vitro synthesis of phase-specific flagellin of Salmonella 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Chromatography of Salmonella flagellin at pH 8 on DEAE-cellulose separated at least four serologically distinct kinds of flagellin, a, enx, i and 1,2, eluting in that order with increasing concentration of sodium chloride. By this chromatographic technique, the preincubated cell-free extract of Escherichia coli given saltprecipitable RNA of Salmonella was shown to synthesize flagellin characteristic of the flagellar antigen type of the cells from which the RNA was derived. Two of the in vitro synthesized flagellins specifically reacted with their corresponding antiserum.When RNA was extracted from the cells of the diphasic strain propagated from a single colony, expressing either phase 1 or phase 2, the in vitro synthesized flagellin was predominantly the same as that produced by the original colony. Translation of messenger RNA specific for phase 1 flagellin was not inhibited by the presence of messenger RNA specific for phase 2. RNA extracted from the cells of a diphasic strain without any selection directed synthesis of both phase 1 and phase 2 flagellins in the ratio expected if the culture was at equilibrium with respect to phase variation. Experimental evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that phase variation is due to the alternative synthesis of phase-specific messenger RNA. 相似文献

While purified bacterial cells and DNA – the signature of life – from soil and sediment matrices have been extensively studied in a wide range of environments and in different microbial ecosystems, the paucity of data on DNA extraction from contaminated sediments emphasizes the need for further research on the isolation and quantification of bacterial cells and DNA in sediments. Consequently, the Nycondez gradient centrifugation method was applied to extract bacterial cells from contaminated and uncontaminated sediments. Quantitative estimates of recovered bacterial cells were obtained from direct counts performed using DAPI (4′,6′-diamino-2-phenylindole hypochloride) staining couples with fluorescence microscopy and indirect counts (colony-forming units). The estimation was improved by using an efficient method of comparing sediment types composed of quantifying bacterial densities in three steps: S1 the initial freshwater sediments; S2 the first supernatant recovered after mixing the sediments with sodium hexametaphosphate solution followed by centrifugation; and S3 the extracted cells. Total and extracellular DNA were extracted and quantified in each of the three steps. Additional analysis of faecal indicator bacteria (FIB) including E. coli and Enterococcus (ENT) was also performed in each step. The results display considerable variability in the quantity of bacteria cells depending on sediment type, ranging from 1.2 × 105 to 6.2 × 109 cell g?1 dry sediments. The treatment with sodium hexametaphosphate solution (2%) leads to the desorption of bacterial populations which were firmly adsorbed on contaminated sediment surfaces resulting in more than 90% of the FIB being recovered. The Nycondez density gradient centrifugation method makes it possible to extract bacterial cells from freshwater sediments without extracellular DNA so it is ideal for metagenomic analysis of bacteria. 相似文献

A procedure for rapid extraction and high-pressure liquid chromatographic separation of the nucleotides and other small molecules from bacterial cells 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
A method for the extraction and separation of ribo- and deoxyribonucleosides and nucleotides from Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli is described. Cells are harvested by a new rapid filtration method, and the small molecules are extracted with formic acid. The acid-extracted nucleotides and other uv-absorbing compounds are separated by boronate-affinity chromatography and by reverse-phase and ion-pair high-pressure liquid chromatography. The complete analysis uses the extract from 10 ml of log phase cells and separates the small molecule pool into about 170 components. 相似文献

The development of fast, reliable and inexpensive phenol protocol is described for the isolation of RNA from bacterial biofilm producers. The method was tested on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and other biofilm-producing gram-negative microorganisms and provided the highest integrity of RNA recovery in comparison to other methods reported here. In parallel experiments, bacterial lysis with Qiagen, NucleoSpin RNAII, InnuREP RNA Mini, Trizol and MasterPure RNA extraction Kits using standard protocols consistently gave low RNA yields with an absence of integrity. The boiling method presented here yielded high concentration of RNA that was free from 16S and 23S rRNA, contained 5S RNA. Higher yields due to improved biofilm bacterial cell lysis were achieved with an added hot phenol incubation step without the need for a bead mill or the enzyme. This method when used in conjunction with the Qiagen RNeasy Mini kit, RNA isolation was a success with greater integrity and contained undegraded 16S and 23S rRNA and did not require further purification. Contaminating DNA was a problem with the RNA processing samples; we used quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) to measure the recovery of RNA from bacterial biofilm cells using the method described here. 相似文献

Synthetic biology aims at designing and engineering organisms. The engineering process typically requires the establishment of suitable DNA constructs generated through fusion of multiple protein coding and regulatory sequences. Conventional cloning techniques, including those involving restriction enzymes and ligases, are often of limited scope, in particular when many DNA fragments must be joined or scar-free fusions are mandatory. Overlap-based-cloning methods have the potential to overcome such limitations. One such method uses seamless ligation cloning extract (SLiCE) prepared from Escherichia coli cells for straightforward and efficient in vitro fusion of DNA fragments. Here, we systematically characterized extracts prepared from the unmodified E. coli strain DH10B for SLiCE-mediated cloning and determined DNA sequence-associated parameters that affect cloning efficiency. Our data revealed the virtual absence of length restrictions for vector backbone (up to 13.5 kbp) and insert (90 bp to 1.6 kbp). Furthermore, differences in GC content in homology regions are easily tolerated and the deletion of unwanted vector sequences concomitant with targeted fragment insertion is straightforward. Thus, SLiCE represents a highly versatile DNA fusion method suitable for cloning projects in virtually all molecular and synthetic biology projects. 相似文献

The application of the phenol-duponol method to extraction of nucleic acids from HeLa cells is described. Chromatography of the phenol extract on an esterified bovine serum albumin column with a salt gradient of sodium chloride gives separation of soluble RNA, DNA, and two different high molecular RNA fractions. Ultracentrifugation of the DNA eluted from the column gives a sedimentation coefficient (s20o,w) of 38, which agrees with ultracentrifugation data on the phenol extract. The eluted RNA appears polydisperse at low ionic strength, but at high ionic strength and after alcohol precipitation two fractions with the sedimentation coefficients of 16 and 25 to 29, respectively, were obtained. 相似文献

Four methods for extracting nucleic acids from lyophilized cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Stoneville 62) leaves and roots were compared. They were based on the use of: (I) HC104; (II) KOH; (III) a mixture of 90% phenol, Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane buffer, and sodium lauryl sulfate; and (IV) NaCl. (I) extracted large amounts of RNA but little DNA and extracted much carbohydrate and protein contaminants. (II) gave a good yield of both RNA and DNA but extracted such large amounts of contaminating material that purification of RNA on an anion exchange column was necessary. (III) extracted only part of the RNA and practically no DNA, but extracted contaminating materials. (IV) resulted in high yields of both RNA and DNA when modified to omit preliminary acid extraction of impurities. The use of cold trichloroacetic acid instead of ethanol, to precipitate NaCl-extracted nucleic acids, separated the nucleic acids from most of the carbohydrate and acid-soluble phosphate contaminants and resulted in good agreement among results by ultraviolet absorbance, pentose tests, and phosphate analysis. This method also resulted in lower protein contents and better ultraviolet absorption spectra than the other methods tested. Nucleic acids were extracted from leaves of 14 other species of plants, in addition to cotton, by this modified NaCl procedure. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli cells carrying the srnB+ gene of the F plasmid, rifampin, added at 42°C, induces the extensive rapid degradation of the usually stable cellular RNA (Ohnishi, Y., (1975) Science 187, 257–258; Ohnishi, Y., Iguma, H., Ono, T., Nagaishi, H. and Clark, A.J. (1977) J. Bacteriol. 132, 784–789). We have studied further the necessity for rifampin and for high temperature in this degradation. Streptolidigin, another inhibitor of RNA polymerase, did not induce the RNA degradation. Moreover, the stable RNA of some strains in which RNA polymerase is temperature-sensitive did not degrade at the restrictive temperature in the absence of rifampin. These data suggest that rifampin has an essential role in the RNA degradation, possibly by the modification of RNA polymerase function. A protein (Mr 12 000) newly synthesized at 42°C in the presence of rifampin appeared to be the product of the srnB+ gene that promoted the RNA degradation. In a mutant deficient in RNAase I, the extent of the RNA degradation induced by rifampin was greatly reduced. RNAase activity of cell-free crude extract from the RNA-degraded cells was temperature-dependent. The RNAase was purified as RNAase I in DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. Both in vivo and with purified RNAase I, a shift of the incubation mixture from 42 to 30°C, or the addition of Mg2+ ions, stopped the RNA degradation. Thus, an effect on RNA polymerase seems to initiate the expression of the srnB+ gene and the activation of RNAase I, which is then responsible for the RNA degradation of E. coli cells carrying the srnB+ gene. 相似文献

Large molecular weight plasmids are often used in gene therapy and DNA vaccines. To investigate the effect of plasmid size on the performance of Escherichia coli host strains during plasmid preparation, we employed E. coli JM109 and TOP10 cells to prepare four plasmids ranging from 4.7 to 16.8?kb in size. Each plasmid was extracted from JM109 and TOP10 cells using an alkaline lysis mini-preparation method. However, when commercial kits were used to extract the same plasmids from JM109 cells, the large molecular weight plasmids substantially degraded, compared with their smaller counterparts. No degradation was observed when the four plasmids were extracted from E. coli TOP10 cells using the same commercial kit. We conclude, therefore, that the performance of E. coli in high quality plasmid preparations can be affected by plasmid size. 相似文献

Cell-free synthesis of recombinant proteins has emerged as an alternative method of protein production although protein yields still cannot compete with in vivo expression techniques. In systems based on S30 extracts of Escherichia coli unfavorable side-reactions are involved in limiting protein yields. Therefore, carrying out cell-free reactions at lower temperatures might be beneficial as side reactions should be decreased. In this study we show that by using the 5′-untranslated region of the cold-shock gene cspA from E. coli as mRNA leader in cell-free reactions, the expression temperature can be decreased and simultaneously leads to an increase in protein yields. A compensation for the lower activity of T7 RNA polymerase at lower temperatures enhances protein synthesis even further. Additionally, this 5′-untranslated region also standardizes the optimal expression temperature of different proteins. 相似文献

Cell-free protein synthesis is a promising technology featuring many advantages compared to in vivo expression techniques. However, most proteins are still synthesized in vivo due to relatively low protein yields commonly achieved in vitro, especially in the batch mode of reaction. In Escherichia coli S30 extract-based cell-free systems protein yields are supposed to be partially limited by a secondary structure formation of the mRNA. In this study we checked promising members of various classes of RNA chaperones and several different RNA helicases on their ability to enhance in vitro translation. The data clearly show that the addition of none of these factors provides a general solution to the problem. However, protein yields can be increased in presence of a microRNA hybridizing with the 5′ untranslated region of mRNAs, possibly by inducing structural changes improving accessibility of the Shine Dalgarno sequence for the ribosomes. 相似文献
