Endonuclease III (nth) mutants of Escherichia coli.
Two strains that overproduce endonuclease III were found in a colony bank containing hybrid ColE1-Escherichia coli plasmids. The enzyme was identified in crude extracts by the degradation of partially depyrimidinated DNA in the presence of EDTA, by its sedimentation velocity, and by its associated thymine glycol-DNA glycosylase activity. An insertion mutation was produced by cloning the kanamyc...
متن کاملEndonuclease II of Escherichia coli is exonuclease III.
Exonuclease III, a phosphatase-exonuclease specific for bihelical DNA, wn the preparation was endonuclease II, an activity specific for DNA that has been partially depurinated by treatment with methyl methanesulfonate. The two activities, which could not be separated by electrophoresis, by sedimentation, or by gel filtration, were associated with a single monomeric protein of 28,000 daltons. To...
متن کاملEscherichia coli endonuclease VIII: cloning, sequencing, and overexpression of the nei structural gene and characterization of nei and nei nth mutants.
Escherichia coli possesses two DNA glycosylase/apurinic lyase activities with overlapping substrate specificities, endonuclease III and endonuclease VIII, that recognize and remove oxidized pyrimidines from DNA. Endonuclease III is encoded by the nth gene. Endonuclease VIII has now been purified to apparent homogeneity, and the gene, nei, has been cloned by using reverse genetics. The gene nei ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Escherichia coli endonuclease VIII.
Escherichia coli endonuclease VIII (endo VIII) was identified as an enzyme that, like endonuclease III (endo III), removes radiolysis products of thymine including thymine glycol, dihydrothymine, beta-ureidoisobutyric acid, and urea from double-stranded plasmid or phage DNA and cleaves the DNA strand at abasic (AP) sites (Melamede, R. J., Hatahet, Z., Kow, Y. W., Ide., H., and Wallace, S. S. (1...
متن کاملMucoid mutants of Escherichia coli.
The WV strain of Escherichia coli has been used extensively in analyzing various biosynthetic pathways (Davis, 1952a) and also in studying drug resistance (Davis, 1952b). This strain is nonmucoid as ordinarily cultured on solid medium at 35 C. However, among mutants selected for various properties, i. e., auxotrophy, meiotrophy4 and drug resistance, a few were observed to be mucoid. An investig...
