چکیده
Background: Gene 1.7 of bacteriophagephage T7 encodes a nucleotide kinase Results: Gp1.7 dodecamers catalyze the reversible dTMP and dGMP kinase reactions Conclusion: Gp1.7 is a unique nucleotide kinase that does not require a divalent metal ion Significance: The unique nucleotide kinase of bacteriophage T7 supplies dTDP and dGDP for conversion to the nucleoside 5’-triphosphate and recycles the dTDP derived from helicase function to dTTP.

Construction of the Recombinant Plasmid Expressing AID under the Control of Temperature-sensitive Promoter of Bacteriophage Lambda
Background and purpose: Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a B-cell specific enzyme responsible for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) of antibody genes within the B-cell follicle of peripheral lymphoid organs. Ectopic overexpression of the enzyme leads to mutations in non-B cells and Escherichia coli (E.coli) genes. However, induction of mutations in E...
متن کاملA novel nucleotide kinase encoded by gene 1.7 of bacteriophage T7.
Gene 1.7 of bacteriophage T7 confers sensitivity of both phage T7 and its host Escherichia coli to dideoxythymidine (ddT). We have purified the product of gene 1.7, gp1.7. It exists in two forms of molecular weight 22,181 and 17,782. Only the C-terminal half of the protein is required to confer ddT sensitivity. We show that gp1.7 catalyses the phosphorylation of dGMP and dTMP to dGDP and dTDP, ...
متن کاملSequence analysis and molecular characterization of the Lactococcus lactis temperate bacteriophage BK5-T.
The Lactococcus lactis temperate bacteriophage BK5-T is one of twelve type phages that define L. lactis phage species. This paper describes the nucleotide sequence and analysis of a 21-kbp region of the BK5-T genome and completes the nucleotide sequence of the genome of this phage. The 40,003-nucleotide linear genome encodes 63 open reading frames. Sequence runoff experiments showed that the co...
متن کاملThe nucleotide sequences of some large ribonuclease T 1 products from bacteriophage R17 ribonucleic acid.
A method of ;fingerprinting' high-molecular-weight (32)P-labelled RNA species, using a two-dimensional thin-layer-chromatographic separation of ribonuclease T(1) digestion products, has been applied to RNA from the Escherichia coli bacteriophage R17. The ;fingerprinting' technique, besides giving a unique pattern that can be used as a characterization of the RNA, has made it possible to isolate...

P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica, with the local name of Baneh, is a wild medicinal plant which grows in Kurdistan, Iran. The identification of resistance gene analogs holds great promise for the development of resistant cultivars. A PCR approach with degenerate primers designed according to conserved NBS-LRR (nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat) regions of known disease-resistance (R) gene...
