Unique features of the mitochondrial rolling circle-plasmid mp1 from the higher plant Chenopodium album (L.).
We analyzed the structure and replication of the mitochondrial (mt) circular DNA plasmid mp1 (1309 bp) from the higher plant Chenopodium album(L.). Two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) revealed the existence of oligomers of up to a decamer in addition to the prevailing monomeric form. The migration behavior of cut replication intermediates during 2DE was consistent with a rolling circle (R...
متن کاملA Rolling Circle Replication Mechanism Produces Multimeric Lariats of Mitochondrial DNA in Caenorhabditis elegans
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes respiratory complex subunits essential to almost all eukaryotes; hence respiratory competence requires faithful duplication of this molecule. However, the mechanism(s) of its synthesis remain hotly debated. Here we have developed Caenorhabditis elegans as a convenient animal model for the study of metazoan mtDNA synthesis. We demonstrate that C. elegans mtDNA r...
متن کاملReal-time single-molecule observation of rolling-circle DNA replication
We present a simple technique for visualizing replication of individual DNA molecules in real time. By attaching a rolling-circle substrate to a TIRF microscope-mounted flow chamber, we are able to monitor the progression of single-DNA synthesis events and accurately measure rates and processivities of single T7 and Escherichia coli replisomes as they replicate DNA. This method allows for rapid...
متن کاملRolling-circle plasmid pKYM re-initiates DNA replication.
It is believed that rolling-circle plasmids are incapable of re-initiation since they have to maintain their copy number and this is one of the differences between plasmids and phages as phi-x174. To examine whether a rolling-circle plasmid pKYM is incapable of re-initiating DNA replication, we constructed a plasmid that carries both the pKYM origin (fragment 13, 173 bp) and its truncated origi...
متن کاملMorphophysiological traits and atrazine sensitivity in Chenopodium album L.
BACKGROUND A Chenopodium album L. biotype surviving in atrazine-treated Serbian corn fields (VC) was compared against atrazine-susceptible (S) and atrazine-resistant (R) standards. RESULTS Atrazine (2 kg ha(-1)) killed S and VC shoot biomass 15 days after treatment (DAT), but R was only suppressed by 42% and survived 8 kg ha(-1). Atrazine at 2 kg ha(-1) only inhibited VC height by 60% as agai...
