Site-specific cleavage of single-stranded DNA by a Hemophilus restriction endonuclease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-stranded viral DNA of bacteriophage f1 is cleaved into specific fragments by endo R-HaeIII, a restriction endonuclease isolated from Hemophilus aegyptius. The sites of the single strand cleavage correspond to those of the double strand cleavage. A single-stranded DNA fragment containing only one HaeIII site is also cleaved by this enzyme. This observation suggests that the reaction of single-stranded DNA cleavage does not require the formation of a symmetrical double-stranded structure that would result from the intramolecular base-pairing between two different HaeIII sites. Other restriction endonucleases may also cleave single-stranded DNA.

Genome of hepatitis B virus: restriction enzyme cleavage and structure of DNA extracted from Dane particles.
DNA extracted from Dane particles has been characterized by gel electrophoresis and restriction enzyme cleavage with endonuclease R-HaeIII (from Hemophilus aegyptius). Dane particle DNA is proposed to be a double-stranded circular DNA approximately 3600 nucleotides in length containing a single-stranded gap of 600-2100 nucleotides. The endogenous DNA polymerase (DNA nucleotidyl-transferase; deo...
متن کاملExploring both sequence detection and restriction endonuclease cleavage kinetics by recognition site via single-molecule microfluidic trapping.
We demonstrate the feasibility of a single-molecule microfluidic approach to both sequence detection and obtaining kinetic information for restriction endonucleases on dsDNA. In this method, a microfluidic stagnation point flow is designed to trap, hold, and linearize double-stranded (ds) genomic DNA to which a restriction endonuclease has been pre-bound sequence-specifically. By introducing th...
متن کاملFragmentation of bacteriophage S13 replicative form DNA by restriction endonucleases from Hemophilus influenzae and Hemophilus aegyptius.
The restriction enzymes Hind from Hemophilus influenzae and Hae,,, from Hemophilus aegyptius cleave bacteriophage S13 replicative form (RF) DNA into 13 and 10 specific fragments, respectively. The sizes of these fragments were estimated by gel efectrophoresis, electron microscopy, and pyrimidine isostich analysis. The Hind and Hae,,, fragments were ordered relative to each other by cross digest...
متن کاملCloning of random-sequence oligodeoxynucleotides.
Methods are described for cloning random or highly degenerate nucleotide (nt) sequences. The procedures use synthetically derived mixtures of oligodeoxynucleotides (oligos) whose heterogeneous central portions are bounded at their 5' and 3' ends by sequences recognized by restriction endonucleases. Oligo collections of defined length and nt composition are synthesized by utilizing appropriate c...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of the in vitro synthesized gene products of bacteriophage M13.
Bacteriophage M13 replicative form (RF) DNA was used to direct coupled transcription and translation in cell-free extracts prepared from Escherichia coli. By using RF DNA, isolated from cells infected with appropriate amber mutants of this phage, it has been possible to identify the products of genes I through IV. By using the same methods no gene-product relationship could be demonstrated for ...
