The DNA of bacteriophage BF23 possesses two structural features, localized single-chain interruptions and a large terminal repetition, previously described for T5, a closely related virus. As is the case for T5, single-chain interruptions occur with variable frequencies at a small number of fixed sites within one strand of the double-stranded BF23 genome. The sites where interruptions occur with the highest frequencies were napped by an electrophoretic analysis of the single-stranded fragments produced by denaturation of BF23 DNA. The positions of these fragments were determined by degrading BF23 DNA to various extents with lambda exonuclease and observing the relative order with which they were (i) degraded or (ii) released intact from the undenatured duplex. The exact locations of the interruptions were determined from analysis of analogous duplex fragments produced by degrading exonuclease III-treated BF23 DNA with a single-strand-specific endonuclease. BF23 has five principal sites (located at 7.9, 18.7, 32.4, 65.8, and 99.6% from the left end of the DNA) where interruptions occur in most molecules. The principal interruptions in T5 DNA occur at similar positions. The locations of eight secondary interruptions in BF23 DNA were also determined. In general, BF23 DNA has fewer secondary interruptions than t5 dna, although there is at least one location where an interruption occurs with a greater frequency in BF23. The presence of a terminal repetition in BF23 DNA was demonstrated by annealing ligase-repaired molecules that had been partially digested with lambda exonuclease. If the complementary sequences at both ends of the DNA were exposed by exonuclease treatment, the duplex segment that resulted from annealing could be released by digestion with a single-strand-specific endonuclease. This segment was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and found to represent 8.4% of BF23 DNA. 相似文献

Denatured bacteriophage T5 DNA contains a large number of single-stranded DNA fragments which have been separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and classified as “major” or “minor” species on the basis of their relative abundances (Hayward & Smith, 1972). For further study of these fragments we have centrifuged denatured T5 DNA in CsCl density-gradients in the presence of poly(G). Gel electrophoretic analysis of fractions from these gradients shows that the 37.0 and 13.9 million major fragments of T5+ DNA and the 35.3 and 17.2 million of T5st(O) DNA are found in the high buoyant density regions. The other fragments vary in the extent of their interactions with poly(G) and a minor fragment, which has anomalous electrophoretic properties, exhibits the strongest poly(G) interaction. 相似文献

Thirty tajiks, whose relatives had beta-thalassemia traits (revealed in previous investigations by determination of the HbA-2 and HbF levels) were selected to screen beta-thalassemia mutations. DNA samples from each individual were subjected to the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to amplify the 635 bp beta-globin gene fragment. One additional band was detected in three samples after the amplified fragment underwent electrophoresis in 2% agarose gel and the EtBr was stained, and two additional ones were revealed by 6% PAAGE and staining of the EtBr. All additional bands migrated more slowly than appropriate 635 bp fragment. It is supposed that additional bands are heteroduplexes formed from the wild type chains and mutated chains carrying a deletion or insertion. The 4 bp deletion of the 41-42 (-tctt) was detected after the direct sequencing of the amplified fragments. This mutation is common among Chinese but it was not revealed in the Middle Asia populations. The mutation can be easily screened using the PCR and electrophoresis in 2% agarose gel or PAAG of the amplified beta-globin gene fragments. 相似文献

Sequence-induced anomalous migration of double-stranded (ds) DNA in native gel electrophoresis is a well known phenomenon. The retardation of migration is more obvious in polyacrylamide compared with agarose gels, and is greatly affected by the concentration of the gel and the temperature. This anomalous migration results in a difference between calculated and actual sizes of the affected DNA fragments. A low viscosity polymer solution (DNA Fragment Analysis Reagent) under investigation for use in dsDNA analysis by capillary electrophoresis is shown to be useful for the visualization of anomalies in migration of dsDNA fragments. Comparable with traditional slab gel systems, the retardation effect, indicative of bent or curved DNA, is strongly dependent on polymer concentration and separation temperature. These dependencies have implications on the accurate sizing of dsDNA fragments with unknown sequences and secondary structures. 相似文献

DNA fragments from lambdaspc1 and lambdafus2, carrying ribosomal protein genes from Escherichia coli, were inserted into lambda phage vectors Charon 3 and Charon 4. Eight of the resulting clones were characterized by agarose gel electrophoresis of EcoRI digests, analytical CsCl equilibrium centrifugation, and electron micrographic analysis of heteroduplexes. In each case, the identity, order, and orientation of each cloned fragment was determined. In all, 8 of the 12 EcoRI fragments of lambdafus2 were cloned in various arrangements. In the accompanying paper, genes for 15 ribosomal and related proteins and three bacterial promoters were detected in these phages. In addition, four of the hybrid phages carried fragments of lambda-DNA including the phage origin of replication (ori), the late promoter, PR', and the cohesive ends (cos site) in both orientations. The latter phages yield a circularly permuted collection of DNA molecules. 相似文献

Restriction fragments of phage lambda and phi X174 deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) were photoreacted with 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen to various extents, and the amount of covalent cross-linking was determined by electron microscopy of the DNA under totally denaturing conditions. The DNA was then analyzed by electrophoresis in alkaline agarose gels. A single cross-link in a DNA molecule produced a large decrease in its electrophoretic mobility. With DNA fragments 0.3--4 kilobase pairs in size, the apparent Mr (molecular weight) of the cross-linked DNA was 2.0 +/- 0.1 times and Mr of the unreacted, single-stranded DNA. A single cross-link in a larger DNA molecule resulted in an even greater increase in apparent Mr. Further cross-linking produced a decrease in the apparent Mr of the DNA, reaching a plateau at a value of 1.4 +/- 0.1 times the Mr of the unreacted, single-stranded DNA over a large range of fragment sizes (0.6--10 kilobase pairs). The apparent Mr of the cross-linked DNA was weakly dependent on the percentage of agarose in the gel. Although highly sensitive to interstrand cross-links the electrophoretic mobilities appeared to be unaffected by low levels of monoadducts (trimethylpsoralen covalently bound to one strand of the DNA). The DNA bandwidths increased by as much as 4-fold at low extents of cross-linking, presumably due to heterogeneity in the locations of the cross-links in the DNA molecules. The bands became sharp again at high levels of reaction. These observations from the basis of a new assay for interstrand DNA cross-links that is both more sensitive and more convenient than previous methods. 相似文献

Upon denaturation, T5 DNA yields a large number of discrete, single-chain fragments that can be resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis. The positions of the more prominent of these fragments in the T5 duplex were determined by analyzing their sensitivity to digestion with λ exonuclease and their distribution among EcoRI fragments of T5 DNA. These experiments also provide firm evidence concerning the polarity of the strands in T5 DNA. An analogous study was carried out on the fragments produced by treating exonuclease III-degraded T5 DNA with the single-strand-specific SI endonuclease. This procedure yielded over 40 discrete duplex fragments that could be resolved with considerable precision by agarose gel electrophoresis. The positions of most of these fragments were determined by analyzing EcoRI fragments of T5st(+) and T5st(0) DNA. Over 20 sites where single-chain interruptions can occur in T5 DNA were identified, and the distribution of interruptions within the terminal repetition was shown to be identical at both ends of the molecule. A precise value for the size of the terminal repetition in T5 DNA was obtained by analyzing SI endonuclease digests of ligase-repaired, circular T5 DNA in agarose gels. The repeated segment represented 8.3% of the T5st(+) DNA. The results of this study also provide information concerning the properties of λ exonuclease. Hydrolysis by this enzyme was not terminated when single-chain interruptions were encountered either in the strand being degraded or in the complementary strand. 相似文献

lambda DNA (a double-stranded DNA) was exposed to several adriamycin-mediated active oxygen generating systems (O2- and H2O2 generating, OH generating, and perferryl ion complex generating), extracted, and analyzed by gel electrophoresis on agarose gel. Only the DNA exposed to and subsequently isolated from the adriamycin-mediated OH generating system contained many DNA fragments of low molecular weight, indicating the breakage of DNA strands. Such a breakage was strikingly inhibited by catalase or 50 mM sodium benzoate, but not by superoxide dismutase. The local OH concentration near the DNA strand was considered to be important for DNA strand cleavage. 相似文献

Specific DNA restriction endonuclease fragments can be identified after electrophoresis in agarose gels by hybridization in the gel (in situ) to radioactive homologous RNA. RNA-DNA hybrids are detected by autoradiography of the gel. Comparison of band patterns of the autoradiogram and the ethidium bromide stained gel allows the identification of the DNA fragment which is complementary to the RNA probe. The technique is rapid, easy and inexpensive. It is sensitive enough to detect individual genes in a mixture of fragments produced by restriction enzyme digestion of complex cellular DNA. We have used this technique to determine which of the Hin III and Eco R1 fragments of phi80d3ilv+su+7 and E. coli DNAs contain the 5S, 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes of E. coli. 相似文献

Abstract: In order to find a simple and efficient method to isolate single or double?strand DNA fragment amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),we used PCR method to amplify exon 7,exon 8 and intron 7 of human P53 gene, electrophoresis to identify products,fusion and phenol-chlorofom extraction (FPC) to isolate specific DNA from agarose gel,ultraviolet colorimetry to deteminate collected rate,and direct sequencing to identify the quality of recollected DNA. A control test was also made by using QIAquick Spin Colum.The results showed that the quality of PCR products recollected by using FPC method was very good.When the recollected DNA was used in sequencing,no matter what was single or double-strand DNA,the sequence data was clear and even,with low noise.The recollected rate of using FPC,which was over 80 per cent, was higher than that of using colum (lessthan 20 per cent), there were statistical significances (P<0.01).In the control test, it had a little non-specific DNA in the collected products,and the sequencing experiment of using double-strand products was failure.All above mentioned suggested that general agarose gelis efficient in place of low melting-temperature for isolating DNA fragment. 相似文献

Restriction map of DNA spanning the replication terminus of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
The Bacillus subtilis 168 dna-1 chromosome was labelled during sporulation with [3H]thymine for five minutes immediately before termination of replication. The isolated radioactive DNA was cleaved with BamHI (or SalI) and the resulting restriction fragments separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The individual fragments, fractionated into a series of slices cut from the gel, were then cleaved with SalI (or BamHI) and the double-digest fragments identified by electrophoresis and fluorography. All major fragments and most minor ones present in a whole double-digest were assigned to BamHI and SalI parents. Such information enabled the construction of an unambiguous restriction map of 150 X 10(3) bases of the approximately 250 X 10(3) bases of DNA labelled in the five minutes. In conjunction with published data on the order of replication of restriction fragments as termination is approached, it was clear that most (105 X 10(3) bases) of the mapped DNA was replicated by a major fork moving in one direction towards a BamHI 24.8 X 10(3) base fragment. The 45 X 10(3) bases extending to the other side of this region were labelled only slightly, and presumably was replicated by a fork that approached the other in an opposite direction until its progress was blocked or severely impeded within this region at a site, referred to as terC, sometime (less than 5 min) earlier. The regions of the map replicated in the final 2.5 and 1.0 minute by the major fork were also identified. 相似文献

The mobilities of oligomers of phage lambda DNA and of yeast chromosomes in agarose gels during field inversion gel electrophoresis (FIGE) were measured at different pulse times and electric fields. Also the ratios between forward and backward pulse times and/or field gradients were varied. The problem of 'band inversion' during FIGE, leading to an ambiguity in the mobility of large DNA fragments, was solved by using two dimensional gel electrophoresis with different parameters in the first and second dimension. The results are compared with those obtained with other pulsed electrophoresis systems and with a theoretical model. 相似文献

Unexpected loss of genomic DNA from agarose gel plugs 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Intact chromosomal DNAs are routinely prepared by embedding cells in agarose plugs before lysis. The large sizes of the genomic DNAs cause their retention while other macromolecules diffuse into and out of the gel matrix during lysis, washing and restriction cleavage incubations. However, in an analysis of agarose-embedded chromosomal DNAs cleaved with restriction enzymes, fragments larger than 30 kilobases were found to have eluted from the gel plugs. Since loss of fragments from gel plugs may affect qualitative and quantitative interpretations of electrophoretic patterns, an analysis of the diffusion of DNA segments from agarose plugs was performed. The two variables monitored were the time dependence and the DNA fragment size dependence of the diffusion process. The results indicate that small fragments (less than or equal to 2 kilobases) are quickly lost from 1% agarose gel plugs; moreover, significant amounts of large DNA segments (i.e., the 48.5-kilobase lambda phage chromosome) are also lost. In addition to urging caution in the analysis of restriction cleavage data, these observations suggest that intact small organelle genomes and extrachromosomal DNAs also may be lost from genomic DNAs prepared in agarose gel plugs. 相似文献

A variation of pulse-field electrophoresis, field-inversion gel electrophoresis, was used to determine the size and physical map of the chromosome of Haemophilus influenzae. The DNA of H. influenzae had a low G + C content (39%) and no restriction sites for the enzymes NotI or SfiI. However, a number of restriction enzymes (SmaI, ApaI, NaeI, and SacII) that recognized 6-base-pair sequences containing only G and C nucleotides were found to generate a reasonable number of DNA fragments that were separable in agarose gels by field-inversion gel electrophoresis. The sizes of the DNA fragments were calibrated with a lambda DNA ladder and lambda DNA restriction fragments. The sum of fragment sizes obtained with restriction digests yielded a value for the chromosome of 1,980 kilobase pairs. Hybridization of a labeled fragment with two or more fragments from a digest with a different restriction enzyme provided the information needed to construct a circular map of the H. influenzae chromosome. 相似文献

Epidemiological analysis of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus outbreak using restriction fragment length polymorphisms of genomic DNA. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

The genomic DNA of 58 isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) obtained during an infection outbreak at two major Canberra hospitals was analysed for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) by digestion with the endonuclease SmaI and resolution of the fragments by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Based on the fraction of common fragments generated by the endonuclease, DNA similarities among the isolates were estimated. Distance matrix analysis showed that the MRSA isolates could be divided into two major clusters (RFLP types I and II) and one minor one (type 46). A fourth group of miscellaneous isolates was found to be heterogeneous in terms of DNA sequence similarity. The epidemiological data indicated that RFLP type I was most common in the intensive care units in the two hospitals, with particular subtypes of RFLP type I concentrated in individual units. RFLP type II and the miscellaneous group were more generally distributed. Type 46 isolates appear to be related to a group which was present in epidemics in Melbourne hospitals in the early 1980s. Using the standard phage set, the RFLP type I group was largely untypable. However, type II isolates were all phage typable, with a shared susceptibility to phages 29/85/95/90; type 46 isolates had a shared susceptibility to phages 85/90. The miscellaneous isolates were of variable phage types. 相似文献

Agarose gel electrophoresis is the most effective way of separating DNA fragments of varying sizes ranging from 100 bp to 25 kb1. Agarose is isolated from the seaweed genera Gelidium and Gracilaria, and consists of repeated agarobiose (L- and D-galactose) subunits2. During gelation, agarose polymers associate non-covalently and form a network of bundles whose pore sizes determine a gel''s molecular sieving properties. The use of agarose gel electrophoresis revolutionized the separation of DNA. Prior to the adoption of agarose gels, DNA was primarily separated using sucrose density gradient centrifugation, which only provided an approximation of size. To separate DNA using agarose gel electrophoresis, the DNA is loaded into pre-cast wells in the gel and a current applied. The phosphate backbone of the DNA (and RNA) molecule is negatively charged, therefore when placed in an electric field, DNA fragments will migrate to the positively charged anode. Because DNA has a uniform mass/charge ratio, DNA molecules are separated by size within an agarose gel in a pattern such that the distance traveled is inversely proportional to the log of its molecular weight3. The leading model for DNA movement through an agarose gel is "biased reptation", whereby the leading edge moves forward and pulls the rest of the molecule along4. The rate of migration of a DNA molecule through a gel is determined by the following: 1) size of DNA molecule; 2) agarose concentration; 3) DNA conformation5; 4) voltage applied, 5) presence of ethidium bromide, 6) type of agarose and 7) electrophoresis buffer. After separation, the DNA molecules can be visualized under uv light after staining with an appropriate dye. By following this protocol, students should be able to: 1. Understand the mechanism by which DNA fragments are separated within a gel matrix 2. Understand how conformation of the DNA molecule will determine its mobility through a gel matrix 3. Identify an agarose solution of appropriate concentration for their needs 4. Prepare an agarose gel for electrophoresis of DNA samples 5. Set up the gel electrophoresis apparatus and power supply 6. Select an appropriate voltage for the separation of DNA fragments 7. Understand the mechanism by which ethidium bromide allows for the visualization of DNA bands 8. Determine the sizes of separated DNA fragments 相似文献

An attempt has been made to clone six BglII fragments of T4 DNA in the range of 3.3-8.1 kb in the vector plasmid pSCC31 containing a single BglII site within the gene for endonuclease EcoRI and pL promoter of phage lambda. DNA fragments were extracted from the corresponding bands of agarose gel. The following BglII fragments were cloned: the 3.3 kb fragment No. 9 containing a portion of gene 20, the gene 21 and a portion of gene 22; the 4.2 kb fragment No. 8.1 with genes 17, 18, 19 and a portion of gene 20; the 5.2 kb fragment No. 7.1 with genes 25-29 and a portion of gene 48. In the case of the fragment No. 7.1, the recombinant plasmids pRL705 and pRL707 with different orientation of phage DNA fragment were obtained. An attempt to clone the fragments No. 8.2 (4.2 kb), No. 7.2 (5.45 kb) and No. 6 (8.1 kb) was unsuccessful and this probably indicates the presence of the genes, whose products are deleterious to the growth of bacterial cell. 相似文献

A new molecular hybridization approach to the analysis of complex genomes has been developed. Tracer and driver DNAs were digested with the same restriction enzyme(s), and tracer DNA was labeled with 32P using T4 DNA polymerase. Tracer DNA was mixed with an excess amount of driver, and the mixture was electrophoresed in an agarose gel. Following electrophoresis, DNA was alkali-denatured in situ and allowed to reanneal in the gel, so that tracer DNA fragments could hybridize to the driver only when homologous driver DNA sequences were present at the same place in the gel, i.e. within a restriction fragment of the same size. After reannealing, unhybridized single-stranded DNA was digested in situ with S1 nuclease. The hybridized tracer DNA was detected by autoradiography. The general applicability of this technique was demonstrated in the following experiments. The common EcoRI restriction fragments were identified in the genomes of E. coli and four other species of bacteria. Two of these fragments are conserved in all Enterobacteriaceae. In other experiments, repeated EcoRI fragments of eukaryotic DNA were visualized as bands of various intensity after reassociation of a total genomic restriction digest in the gel. The situation of gene amplification was modeled by the addition of varying amounts of lambda phage DNA to eukaryotic DNA prior to restriction enzyme digestion. Restriction fragments of lambda DNA were detectable at a ratio of 15 copies per chicken genome and 30 copies per human genome. This approach was used to detect amplified DNA fragments in methotrexate (MTX)-resistant mouse cells and to identify commonly amplified fragments in two independently derived MTX-resistant lines. 相似文献
