Conformations of the single-stranded DNA of bacteriophage M13.
At least two conformations of M13 single-stranded DNA have been demonstrated by measuring differences in sedimentation coefficient and by direct visualization in the electron microscope. Which form is obtained from infected cells and/or intact phage depends on the pH, ionic strength, and temperature. The slower-sedimenting form can be converted to the faster-sedimenting, single-stranded form by...
متن کاملImproved method for the production of M13 phage and single-stranded DNA for DNA sequencing.
An improved method is described for the efficient production of M13 phage and M13 single-stranded (ss)DNA in a relatively short time period. Infection of E. coli (F') cells with as few as 5 phage particles can yield 10(12) phage particles/mL in 3 hours if the cells are grown in LB broth or SOB broth supplemented with about 5 mM Mg2+. The method tolerates large variations in the initial multipli...
متن کاملThe impact of base stacking on the conformations and electrostatics of single-stranded DNA
Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is notable for its interactions with ssDNA binding proteins (SSBs) during fundamentally important biological processes including DNA repair and replication. Previous work has begun to characterize the conformational and electrostatic properties of ssDNA in association with SSBs. However, the conformational distributions of free ssDNA have been difficult to determine....
متن کاملElectron microscopic studies of bacteriophage M13 DNA replication.
Intracellular forms of M13 phage DNA isolated after infection of Escherichia coli with wild-type phage have been studied by electron microscopy and ultracentrifugation. The data indicate the involvement of rolling-circle intermediates in single-stranded DNA synthesis. In addition to single-stranded circular DNA, we observed covalently closed and nicked replicative-form (RF) DNAs, dimer RF DNAs,...
