DNA tailing without terminal transferase.
Tailing of DNA with terminal transferase is a technically demanding, but essential step in full-length cDNA cloning procedures*•^. It is also an essential step of a poly(dA) affinity labelling technique, which has been used to select families of partial restriction fragments on oligo(dT)cellulose^•*. In order to bypass the need for transferase in the latter technique, we made a simple modificat...
متن کاملTailing cDNAs with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase in RT-PCR assays to identify ribozyme cleavage products
Polytailing a cDNA with terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT) results in the addition of a homopolymeric sequence at its 3'-end. Here we describe the use of tailing in competitive RT-PCR assays to evaluate cleavage efficiency of ribozymes. Using a system that perfectly mimics intracellular cleavage, we were able to detect as few as 1% of cleaved moieties. Furthermore, employing primers ove...
متن کاملMeasurement of DNA damage by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase reaction
An improved terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling method for the quantification of DNA damage in tissues and cultured cells was developed. Many reports have revealed that histochemistry of DNA damage can be visualized using immunohistochemistry for the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase reaction in tissue sections. However, few reports have described qua...
متن کاملTerminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase: the story of a misguided DNA polymerase.
Nearly every DNA polymerase characterized to date exclusively catalyzes the incorporation of mononucleotides into a growing primer using a DNA or RNA template as a guide to direct each incorporation event. There is, however, one unique DNA polymerase designated terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase that performs DNA synthesis using only single-stranded DNA as the nucleic acid substrate. In this...
متن کاملTerminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase catalyzes the reaction of DNA phosphorylation.
The reaction of phosphorylation and phosphonylation of an oligodeoxynucleotide 3'-terminal hydroxyl (oligodeoxynucleotidyl kinase activity) catalyzed by calf thymus terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TDT) was found. Triphosphates modified at Palpha-, Palpha,gamma- or Palpha,beta,gamma-residues served as low-molecular weight substrates. The reaction was TDT specific; human DNA polymerasesalp...
