Characterization of proteolytic fragments of bacteriophage T7 DNA ligase.
Treatment of T7 DNA ligase with a range of proteases generates two major fragments which are resistant to further digestion. These fragments, of molecular weight 16 and 26 kDa, are derived from the N- and C-termini of the protein, respectively. The presence of ATP or a non-hydrolysable analogue, ADPNP, during limited proteolysis greatly reduces the level of digestion. The N-terminal 16 kDa regi...
متن کاملCharacterization of bacteriophage lambda excisionase mutants defective in DNA binding.
The bacteriophage lambda excisionase (Xis) is a sequence-specific DNA binding protein required for excisive recombination. Xis binds cooperatively to two DNA sites arranged as direct repeats on the phage DNA. Efficient excision is achieved through a cooperative interaction between Xis and the host-encoded factor for inversion stimulation as well as a cooperative interaction between Xis and inte...
متن کاملCharacterization of the bacteriophage T4 gene 41 DNA helicase.
The T4 gene 41 protein and the gene 61 protein function together as a primase-helicase within the seven protein bacteriophage T4 multienzyme complex that replicates duplex DNA in vitro. We have previously shown that the 41 protein is a 5' to 3' helicase that requires a single-stranded region on the 5' side of the duplex to be unwound and is stimulated by the 61 protein (Venkatesan, M., Silver L...
متن کاملCharacterization of Interstrand DNA-DNA Cross-Links Derived from Abasic Sites Using Bacteriophage ϕ29 DNA Polymerase.
Interstrand cross-links in cellular DNA are highly deleterious lesions that block transcription and replication. We recently characterized two new structural types of interstrand cross-links derived from the reaction of abasic (Ap) sites with either guanine or adenine residues in duplex DNA. Interestingly, these Ap-derived cross-links are forged by chemically reversible processes, in which the ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a DNA binding protein of bacteriophage PRD1 involved in DNA replication.
Escherichia coli phage PRD1 protein P12, involved in PRD1 DNA replication in vivo, has been highly purified from E. coli cells harbouring a gene XII-containing plasmid. Protein P12 binds to single-stranded DNA as shown by gel retardation assays and nuclease protection experiments. Binding of protein P12 to single-stranded DNA increases about 14% the contour length of the DNA as revealed by elec...
