DNA and RNA polymerase activity in a Moniliophthora perniciosa mitochondrial plasmid and self-defense against oxidative stress.
Moniliophthora perniciosa (Stahel) Aime and Phillips-Mora is a hemibiotrophic basidiomycete (Agaricales, Tricholomataceae) that causes witches' broom disease in cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.). This pathogen carries a stable integrated invertron-type linear plasmid in its mitochondrial genome that encodes viral-like DNA and RNA polymerases related to fungal senescence and longevity. After culturing ...
متن کاملA novel, highly selective inhibitor of pestivirus replication that targets the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
We report on the highly potent and selective antipestivirus activity of 5-[(4-bromophenyl)methyl]-2-phenyl-5H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (BPIP). The 50% effective concentration (EC50) for inhibition of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)-induced cytopathic effect formation was 0.04 +/- 0.01 microM. Comparable reduction of viral RNA synthesis (EC50 = 0.12 +/- 0.02 microM) and production of infectious...
متن کاملManipulation of single polymerase-DNA complexes
DNA replication requires overcoming the energetic barrier associated with the base pair melting of its double helix and a finetuned coordination between the processes of DNA unwinding and DNA replication. One intriguing question that remains poorly understood is the exact mechanism of the coupling of these two reactions. In some organisms, these activities are coupled within the same protein, l...
متن کاملA heterodimeric DNA polymerase: evidence that members of Euryarchaeota possess a distinct DNA polymerase.
We describe here a DNA polymerase family highly conserved in Euryarchaeota, a subdomain of Archaea. The DNA polymerase is composed of two proteins, DP1 and DP2. Sequence analysis showed that considerable similarity exists between DP1 and the second subunit of eukaryotic DNA polymerase delta, a protein essential for the propagation of Eukarya, and that DP2 has conserved motifs found in proteins ...
متن کاملA transcription inhibitor specific for unwound DNA in RNA polymerase-promoter open complexes.
The kinetically component open complexes formed at prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription start sites are efficiently nicked by the chemical nuclease activity of the 2:1 1,10-phenanthroline-copper(I) complex [(OP)2Cu+] and hydrogen peroxide. This reaction specificity has been attributed to the creation of a binding site(s) for redox-active tetrahedral (OP)2Cu+ when RNA polymerase form product...
