Detection of template strand switching during initiation and termination of DNA replication of porcine circovirus.
Nucleotide substitution mutagenesis was conducted to investigate the importance of the inverted repeats (palindrome) at the origin of DNA replication (Ori) of porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1). Viral genomes with engineered mutations on either arm or both arms of the palindrome were not impaired in protein synthesis and yielded infectious progeny viruses with restored or new palindromes. Thus, a...
متن کاملDifferential sensitivity of chromium-mediated DNA interstrand crosslinks and DNA-protein crosslinks to disruption by alkali and EDTA.
Some compounds of hexavalent chromium are well-established carcinogens. Chromium enters mammalian cells in the hexavalent form and is reduced to chromium (III). Treatment of purified DNA with chromium (III) produces DNA-DNA interstrand crosslinks (DDC) which obstruct the progression of DNA polymerases in vitro. DDC were also detected in chromate-treated cultured normal human lung cells using th...
متن کاملHigh-LET irradiation of a DNA-binding protein: protein-protein and DNA-protein crosslinks.
The chromosomal protein MC1 is a monomeric protein of 93 amino acids that is able to bind any DNA but has a slight preferential affinity for some sequences and structures, like cruciform and minicircles. The protein has been irradiated with 36Ar18+ ions of 95 MeV/nucleon. The LET of these particles in water is close to 270 keV/microm. We tested the activity of the protein by measuring its abili...
متن کاملTemplate Switching: From Replication Fork Repair to Genome Rearrangements
Genome rearrangements are a hallmark of human genomic disorders and occur largely through recombination mechanisms. In this issue, Lee et al. (2007) show that the complex nonrecurrent rearrangements observed in the dysmyelinating disorder Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) are likely to be caused by a replication mechanism involving template switching.
متن کاملReversal of DNA damage induced Topoisomerase 2 DNA-protein crosslinks by Tdp2.
Mammalian Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (Tdp2) reverses Topoisomerase 2 (Top2) DNA-protein crosslinks triggered by Top2 engagement of DNA damage or poisoning by anticancer drugs. Tdp2 deficiencies are linked to neurological disease and cellular sensitivity to Top2 poisons. Herein, we report X-ray crystal structures of ligand-free Tdp2 and Tdp2-DNA complexes with alkylated and abasic DNA that ...
