Evidence for Genetic Restriction of Recombination in the Lima Bean.
is some evidence from studies of related species of plants that low T E a E a frequency is associated with outcrossing and high chiasma frequency is associated with selfing (reviews in GRANT 1958; BODMER and PARSONS 1962). From this it has been inferred that crossover rates have been adjusted by natural selection toward high values in selfing species to compensate for the restrictions imposed o...
متن کاملHeteroduplex strand-specificity in restriction-stimulated recombination by the RecE pathway of Escherichia coli.
The RecE recombination pathway is active in Escherichia coli recB recC sbcA mutants. To isolate and characterize products and intermediates of RecE-mediated, break-induced, intramolecular recombination, we infected recB recC sbcA mutants, expressing EcoRI endonuclease, with chimeric lambda phages that allow EcoRI-mediated release of cloned linear recombination substrates. Substrates with direct...
متن کاملMutational analyses of restriction endonuclease-HindIII mutant E86K with higher activity and altered specificity.
We have performed mutational analyses of restriction endonuclease HindIII in order to identify the amino acid residues responsible for enzyme activity. Four of the seven HindIII mutants, which had His-tag sequences at the N-termini, were expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified to homogeneity. The His-tag sequence did not affect enzyme activity, whereas it hindered binding of the DNA probe i...
متن کاملSelection of bacteriophage λ integrases with altered recombination specificity by in vitro compartmentalization
In vitro compartmentalization (IVC) was employed for the first time to select for novel bacteriophage lambda integrase variants displaying significantly enhanced recombination activity on a non-cognate target DNA sequence. These variants displayed up to 9-fold increased recombination activity over the parental enzyme, and one mutant recombined the chosen non-cognate substrate more efficiently t...
متن کاملCan brains generate random numbers?
Motivated by EEG recordings of normal brain activity, we construct arbitrarily large McCulloch-Pitts neural networks that, without any external input, make every subset of their neurons fire in some iteration (and therefore in infinitely many iterations).
