A hybrid bacterial replication origin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We constructed a hybrid replication origin that consists of the main part of oriC from Escherichia coli, the DnaA box region and the AT-rich region from Bacillus subtilis oriC. The AT-rich region could be unwound by E. coli DnaA protein, and the DnaB helicase was loaded into the single-stranded bubble. The results show that species specificity, i.e. which DnaA protein can do the unwinding, resides within the DnaA box region of oriC.

In molecular biology for cloning experiments, plasmid, a circular molecule is used as vector (carrier) to insert a desired gene or DNA fragment by ligating into it after digestion of both with the compatible restriction enzymes. Then by transforming with a host (generally E. coli) strain of desired traits the screening for appropriate clone is done. A plasmid is having selectable marker in the ...
متن کاملCritical role of R-loops in processing replication blocks.
Blocks in replication result from impediments to the advancing replication machinery and are lethal if not resolved. The replication fork must be reassembled for DNA synthesis to proceed. Fork assembly outside the chromosomal origin of replication (oriC) is mediated by recombination or via a helicase-dependent pathway. ColE1 plasmid origins of replication and oriK sites initiate primosome assem...
متن کاملThe human DnaJ protein, hTid-1, enhances binding of a multimer of the herpes simplex virus type 1 UL9 protein to oris, an origin of viral DNA replication.
We have identified cellular proteins that interact with the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) origin-binding protein (UL9 protein) by screening a HeLa cell complementary DNA library by using the yeast two-hybrid system. Approximately 7 x 10(5) colonies were screened. Five of the 48 positive clones contained cDNAs that encoded the p150(Glued) component of the dynactin complex, three contained ...
متن کاملoriC-encoded instructions for the initiation of bacterial chromosome replication
Replication of the bacterial chromosome initiates at a single origin of replication that is called oriC. This occurs via the concerted action of numerous proteins, including DnaA, which acts as an initiator. The origin sequences vary across species, but all bacterial oriCs contain the information necessary to guide assembly of the DnaA protein complex at oriC, triggering the unwinding of DNA an...

The Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) genome contains both cis-acting and trans-acting elements, which are important in viral DNA replication. The cis-acting elements consist of two copies of oriS, and the trans-acting elements are those genes whose products are required for virus DNA replication. It has been shown that each of the seven genes required for ori-dependent DNA synthesis of Herpes Simpl...
