A General Assay Method for Nucleotide Pyrophosphorylases

A general assay method for nucleotide pyrophosphorylases has been investigated. The principle of the method is based on the measurement of consumption rate of 5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) during the enzyme reaction. In the method, an enzyme preparation for sample was incubated in a reaction mixture containing a purine or pyrimidine base and PRPP for a certain time, and the amounts of PRPP before and after the reaction were determined. The amount of PRPP was determined by an enzymatic method using orotidine-5′-monophosphate (5′-OMP) pyrophosphorylase and 5′-OMP decarboxylase. Nucleotide pyrophosphorylase activity corresponding to each purine or pyrimidine base was determined from the amount of PRPP consumed per unit time.

The present method is generally applicable for determining activities of any kind of nucleotide pyrophosphorylases, and does not need any tedious separation procedure in all cases. Therefore, comparing with the conventional assay methods for nucleotide pyrophosphorylase activities, this method can be said to be much simpler and reliable. As an application of the present method, activities of several nucleotide pyrophosphorylases in Micrococcus glutamicus have been determined.

A Mathematical Model for Basepair Opening in a DNA Double Helix

In this paper, we consider a mathematical model that draws an analogy between a DNA molecule and a mechanical system consisting of two chains of interconnected pendulums. This model is designed to explore the dynamics of the system determined by rotational movements of nucleobases around a double-stranded pentose phosphate backbone. The workability of this model is assessed with respect to various factors: inhomogeneity of the chain of nucleobases, the properties of bonds in complementary pairs, and the formation of open states. It has been shown that simplified models for averaging the characteristics of the chain of nucleobases or simplification of the type of hydrogen bond in their complementary pairs influence the type of solution significantly, impairing the validity of the results. Therefore, the approach to the solution of rotational DNA molecule dynamics developed here is more consistent with its actual biomechanics. It is shown that the emergence of open states within nucleobase pairs and restoration of the closed structure may occur in the tested mathematical model.

A Universal Method for the Identification of Bacteria Based on General PCR Primers

The Universal Method (UM) described here will allow the detection of any bacterial rDNA leading to the identification of that bacterium. The method should allow prompt and accurate identification of bacteria. The principle of the method is simple; when a pure PCR product of the 16S gene is obtained, sequenced, and aligned against bacterial DNA data base, then the bacterium can be identified. Confirmation of identity may follow. In this work, several general 16S primers were designed, mixed and applied successfully against 101 different bacterial isolates. One mixture, the Golden mixture7 (G7) detected all tested isolates (67/67). Other golden mixtures; G11, G10, G12, and G5 were useful as well. The overall sensitivity of the UM was 100% since all 101 isolates were detected yielding intended PCR amplicons. A selected PCR band from each of 40 isolates was sequenced and the bacterium identified to species or genus level using BLAST. The results of the UM were consistent with bacterial identities as validated with other identification methods; cultural, API 20E, API 20NE, or genera and species specific PCR primers. Bacteria identified in the study, covered 34 species distributed among 24 genera. The UM should allow the identification of species, genus, novel species or genera, variations within species, and detection of bacterial DNA in otherwise sterile samples such as blood, cerebrospinal fluid, manufactured products, medical supplies, cosmetics, and other samples. Applicability of the method to identifying members of bacterial communities is discussed. The approach itself can be applied to other taxa such as protists and nematodes.     

A Simple Method for the Purification of Organelle DNA of Plants

We report here a simple procedure for the purification of the organelle DNA. Mitochondrial DNA from Sorghum and the chloroplast DNA from Populus and spinach were purified using this protocol. The method utilizes a quick centrifugation of the isolated organelle DNA through a two step CsCl density gradient for removal of small molecular weight nucleic acids which pose a major problem for getting clean restriction patterns. This method of purification can be adopted with any isolation procedure for organelle DNA.
