Markerless gene replacement in Escherichia coli stimulated by a double-strand break in the chromosome.
A simple and efficient gene replacement method, based on the recombination and repair activities of the cell, was developed. The method permits the targeted construction of markerless deletions, insertions and point mutations in the Escherichia coli chromosome. A suicide plasmid, carrying the mutant allele and the recognition site of meganuclease I- Sce I, is inserted into the genome by homolog...
متن کامل3'-terminal Overhangs Regulate DNA Double-Strand Break Processing in Escherichia coli
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are lethal DNA lesions, which are repaired by homologous recombination in Escherichia coli. To study DSB processing in vivo, we induced DSBs into the E. coli chromosome by gamma irradiation and measured chromosomal degradation. We show that the DNA degradation is regulated by RecA protein concentration and its rate of association with ssDNA. RecA decreased DNA degrad...
متن کامل3′-Terminated Overhangs Regulate DNA Double-Strand Break Processing in Escherichia coli
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are lethal DNA lesions, which are repaired by homologous recombination in Escherichia coli To study DSB processing in vivo, we induced DSBs into the E. coli chromosome by γ-irradiation and measured chromosomal degradation. We show that the DNA degradation is regulated by RecA protein concentration and its rate of association with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). RecA dec...
متن کاملDouble strand break repair.
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most dangerous form of DNA damage and can lead to death, mutation, or malignant transformation. Mammalian cells use three major pathways to repair DSBs: homologous recombination (HR), classical nonhomologous end joining (C-NHEJ), and alternative end joining (A-NHEJ). Cells choose among the pathways by interactions of the pathways with CtIP and 53BP1. HR i...
متن کاملMu Insertions Are Repaired by the Double-Strand Break Repair Pathway of Escherichia coli
Mu is both a transposable element and a temperate bacteriophage. During lytic growth, it amplifies its genome by replicative transposition. During infection, it integrates into the Escherichia coli chromosome through a mechanism not requiring extensive DNA replication. In the latter pathway, the transposition intermediate is repaired by transposase-mediated resecting of the 5' flaps attached to...
