DNA segregation in Escherichia coli cells with 5-bromodeoxyuridine-substituted nucleoids.
The pattern of segregation of DNA in Escherichia coli K-12 was analyzed by labeling replicating DNA with 5-bromodeoxyuridine followed by differential staining of nucleoids. Three types of visible arrangement were found in four-nucleoid groups derived from a native nucleoid after two replication rounds. Type A, segregation of both old strands toward cell poles, appeared with the highest frequenc...
متن کاملIncreased thermal stability of chromatin containing 5-bromodeoxyuridine-substituted DNA.
The replacement of thymidine by 5-bromodeoxyuridine in DNA leads to a greatly enhanced stability of chromatin from hepatoma tissue culture or embryonic rat pancreas, as measured by thermal chromatography on hydroxylapatite. The increased stability is directly correlated with the degree of bromodeoxyuridine substitution. On the other hand, the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine into DNA results ...
متن کاملThermal denaturation of DNA from bromodeoxyuridine substituted cells
The thermal denaturation of DNA from cell lines extensively substituted with bromodeoxyuridine has been examined spectrophotometrically over a wide range in ionic strength and by thermal elution from hydroxyapatite columns. BrdU substitution stabliizes DNA at all ionic strengths between 7.5 mM and 1350 mM potassium ion concentration, although a plot of log ionic strength vs Tm deviates from lin...
متن کاملRelease of compact nucleoids with characteristic shapes from Escherichia coli.
The genomic DNA of bacteria is contained in one or a few compact bodies known as nucleoids. We describe a simple procedure that retains the general shape and compaction of nucleoids from Escherichia coli upon cell lysis and nucleoid release from the cell envelope. The procedure is a modification of that used for the preparation of spermidine nucleoids (nucleoids released in the presence of sper...
متن کاملMurein segregation in Escherichia coli.
Peptidoglycan (murein) segregation has been studied by means of a new labeling method. The method relies on the ability of Escherichia coli cells to incorporate D-Cys into macromolecular murein. The incorporation depends on a periplasmic amino acid exchange reaction. At low concentrations, D-Cys is innocuous to the cell. The distribution of modified murein in purified sacculi can be traced and ...
