Cytosine methylated DNA synthesized by Taq polymerase used to assay methylation sensitivity of restriction endonuclease HinfI.
We have studied the resistance of cytosine methylated DNA to digestion by the restriction endonuclease HinfI, using a simple PCR procedure to synthesize DNA of known sequence in which every cytosine is methylated at the 5 position. We find that HinfI cannot digest cytosine methylated DNA at the concentrations normally used in restriction digests. Complete digestion is possible using a vast exce...
متن کاملA convenient method to generate methylated and un-methylated control DNA in methylation studies
Methylated and un-methylated control DNA is an important part of DNA methylation studies. Although human and mouse DNA methylation control sets are commercially available, in case of methylation studies on other species such as animals, plants, and bacteria, control sets need to be prepared. In this paper a simple method of generating methylated and un-methylated control DNA is described. Whole...
متن کاملDNA sequencing using Taq polymerase.
Three DNA polymerases, namely E.coli DNA polymerase 1 (Klenow), reverse transcriptase and T7 DNA polymerase (sequenase), are commonly used for DNA sequencing by the chain termination method of Sanger and colleagues [1). However, the secondary structure of the DNA template can impede the progress of all three polymerases. I have developed a novel procedure in which the thermostable polymerase of...
متن کاملHydroxylation of methylated CpG dinucleotides reverses stabilisation of DNA duplexes by cytosine 5-methylation.
Cytosine-5-methylation stabilises DNA duplexes and is associated with transcriptional repression; 5-methylcytosine undergoes hydroxylation to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, a modification of unknown biological function. Spectroscopic and calorimetric analyses show that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine introduction reverses the stabilising effect of 5-methylcytosine, suggesting that in some contexts, 5-methylc...
