Consecutive incorporation of fluorophore-labeled nucleotides by mammalian DNA polymerase β

In the present study, we investigated mammalian polymerases that consecutively incorporate various fluorophore-labeled nucleotides. We found that rat DNA polymerase β (pol β) consecutively incorporated fluorophore-labeled nucleotides to a greater extent than four bacterial polymerases, Sequenase Version 2.0, Vent_R (exo-), DNA polymerase IIIα and the Klenow fragment, and the mammalian polymerases DNA polymerase α and human DNA polymerase δ, under mesophilic conditions. Furthermore, we investigated the kinetics of correct or mismatched incorporation with labeled nucleotides during synthesis by rat pol β. The kinetic parameters K_m and k_cat were measured and used for evaluating: (i) the discrimination against correct pair incorporation of labeled nucleotides relative to unlabeled nucleotides; and (ii) the fidelity for all nucleotide combinations of mismatched pairs in the presence of labeled or unlabeled nucleotides. We also investigated the effect of fluorophore-labeled nucleotides on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase activity of rat pol β. We have demonstrated for the first time that mammalian pol β can consecutively incorporate various fluorophore-labeled dNTPs. These findings suggest that pol β is useful for high-density labeling of DNA probes and single-molecule sequencing for high-speed genome analysis.

Nucleotide Binding Domain Interactions During the Mechanochemical Reaction Cycle of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters serve as importers and exporters for a wide variety of solutes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are implicated in microbial drug resistance and a number of significant human genetic disorders. Initial crystal structures of the soluble nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) of ABC transporters, while a significant step towards understanding the coupling of ATP binding and hydrolysis to transport, presented researchers with important questions surrounding the role of the signature sequence residues, the composition of the nucleotide binding sites, and the mode of NBD dimerization during the transport reaction cycle. Recent studies have begun to address these concerns. This mini-review summarizes the biochemical and structural characterizations of two archaebacterial NBDs from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, MJ0796 and MJ1267, and offers current perspectives on the functional mechanism of ABC transporters.     

Longings and belongings: Indian American youth identity,folk dance competitions,and the construction of ‘tradition’

This article examines the development of the ‘cultural competition’ as a site for the production of multiple identities by Indian American youths on American college campuses. Through the examination of two categories of folk dance competitions (bhangra and raas-garba) at a private university in Washington, DC, we argue that these competitions appear to resist hybridity and produce rhetoric that marginalizes diasporic culture in favour of the ‘pure’ and ‘authentic’ culture of the homeland. However, the goal of expressing uncontaminated ‘authentic’ culture is not realized as diasporic identities and cultures consistently interrupt and undermine homogenizing narratives of ‘tradition’ and ‘authenticity’. We also demonstrate that these folk dance groups often reinforce an ethno-regional distinctiveness rather than a hybrid or pan-Indian identity.

核酸、氨基酸分类和蛋白质二级结构关系的分析与分子设计

核酸序列中包含一定的蛋白质结构信息。根据通常情况下遗传密码表中密码子中间位的碱基配对时产生的氢键数目,尝试将20种氨基酸划分为两类,并用自编的计算机软件对蛋白质二级结构数据库中两类氨基酸的类聚现象进行了统计分析。结果表明,使用这种方法对氨基酸进行划分后,氨基酸残基具有较大概率与划入同一类的氨基酸残基相邻出现,并且这种聚集体对二级结构具有一定的偏好性。最后按照该方法设计了一段氨基酸序列并给出了预测服务器预测得到的结构。
