Two forms of UvrC protein with different double-stranded DNA binding affinities.
Using phosphocellulose followed by single-stranded DNA-cellulose chromatography for purification of UvrC proteins from overproducing cells, we found that UvrC elutes at two peaks: 0.4 m KCl (UvrCI) and 0.6 m KCl (UvrCII). Both forms of UvrC have a major peptide band (>95%) of the same molecular weight and identical N-terminal amino acid sequences, which are consistent with the initiation codon ...
متن کاملRelative binding affinities of monovalent cations for double-stranded DNA.
The competition between sodium and various other monovalent cations that bind to helical DNA in aqueous solution has been studied by (23)Na NMR. Variations in the sodium linewidth with the concentration of the other ion have been analyzed with an equation that describes the competitive binding in terms of two parameters: r, the total extent of counterion binding, and D, a measure of the binding...
متن کاملThe simultaneous binding of two double-stranded DNA molecules by Escherichia coli RecA protein.
We have characterized the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding properties of RecA protein, using an assay based on changes in the fluorescence of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)-dsDNA complexes. Here we use fluorescence, nitrocellulose filter-binding, and DNase I-sensitivity assays to demonstrate the binding of two duplex DNA molecules by the RecA protein filament. We previously established...
متن کاملThe stability of different forms of double-stranded decoy DNA in serum and nuclear extracts.
The degradation of single-stranded (ss) oligonucleotides and their analogues in serum and within mammalian cells has been studied extensively because of the potential importance of antisense oligonucleotides as pharmaceutical agents (1-5) . Doublestranded (ds) oligonucleotides did not seem to be comparably useful, so little is known about their degradation. Recently, however, it has been shown ...
متن کاملEscherichia coli single-strand binding protein forms multiple, distinct complexes with single-stranded DNA.
Four distinct binding modes for the interaction of Escherichia coli single-strand binding (SSB) protein with single-stranded (ss) DNA have been identified on the basis of quantitative titrations that monitor the quenching of the SSB protein fluorescence upon binding to the homopolynucleotide poly(dT) over a range of MgCl2 and NaCl concentrations at 25 and 37 degrees C. This is the first observa...
