Pilus-dependent, double-stranded DNA bacteriophage for Caulobacter.
Caulobacter phage phi 6, previously reported to adsorb specifically to bacterial flagella, was shown here to attach to pili more frequently than to flagella. Phage phi 6 was shown to contain double-stranded DNA by circular dichroism spectroscopy and thermal denaturation accompanied by a hyperchromic shift at 260 nm. Morphologically, phage phi 6 fits group B2 (H.-W. Ackermann, in A. I. Laskin an...
متن کاملDNA of bacteriophage PM2: a closed circular double-stranded molecule.
The DNA molecules isolated from mature bacteriophage PM2 are closed double-stranded rings of a molecular weight of six million. Direct evidence for the circularity and supercoiling of PM2 DNA was obtained by electron microscopy. Other properties, such as sedimentation behavior at neutral and alkaline pH, unusually high buoyant density in alkaline CsCl, and stability upon heating, are consistent...
متن کاملIntroducing a New and Simple Protocol for Capillary Electrophoresis of Cell Free Fetal Double Stranded DNA
Isolation of cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) from maternal serum usually leads to very low concentrations of DNA impeding further resolving through conventional methods of electrophoresis. Although several protocols have been described for capillary electrophoresis (CE) of double stranded DNA, they usually need using special polymers or coated capillaries which degrade over time. Herein, we propos...
متن کاملA double-stranded DNA rotaxane.
Mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes have potential as components of molecular machinery. Rotaxanes consist of a dumb-bell-shaped molecule encircled by a macrocycle that can move unhindered along the axle, trapped by bulky stoppers. Previously, rotaxanes have been made from a variety of molecules, but not from DNA. Here, we report the design, assembly and character...
متن کاملDouble-stranded DNA bacteriophage prohead protease is homologous to herpesvirus protease.
Double-stranded DNA bacteriophages and herpesviruses assemble their heads in a similar fashion; a pre-formed precursor called a prohead or procapsid undergoes a conformational transition to give rise to a mature head or capsid. A virus-encoded prohead or procapsid protease is often required in this maturation process. Through computational analysis, we infer homology between bacteriophage prohe...
