Transforming Activity in Both Complementary Strands of Bacillus subtilis DNA.
نویسنده
چکیده
Under conditions favoring single-strand transformation, the two complementary strands of Bacillus subtilis DNA, separated by differential complexing with polyriboguanylic acid, have identical transforming activity. Moreover separated single strands, upon renaturation with unmarked (recipient) DNA, form heteroduplex molecules with similar double-strand transformin activity. These findings bear upon the mechanism of DNA integration.

Chromatographically fractionated complementary strands of Bacillus subtilis deoxyribonucleic acid: biological properties.
Biological, physical, and chromatographic properties of methylated albuminkieselguhr (MAK)-fractionated complementary strands, designated as light (L) and heavy (H), of Bacillus subtilis deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are presented. The pattern of transforming activity along the MAK elution profile of alkilidenatured DNA shows that the residually active molecules selectively fractionated ahead of ...
متن کاملTransformation of Bacillus subtilis using hybrid DNA molecules constructed by annealing resolved complementary strands.
HE question of whether one or both strands of the transforming deoxyriboTnucleic acid (DNA) molecule is inserted into the host chromosome of Bacillus subtilis has been the subject of several recent reports. BODMER and GANESAN (1964) presented physical evidence for the incorporation of one strand. AYAD and BARKER (1969) in contrast, presented physical evidence suggesting that both strands of the...

متن کاملSpecific inhibition of PCR by non-extendable oligonucleotides using a 5' to 3' exonuclease-deficient DNA polymerase.
The Stoffel fragment of Taq DNA polymerase lacks the 5' to 3' exonuclease activity that hydrolyzes potentially blocking DNA strands during primer extension. We there-fore asked whether by using this fragment in the PCR, non-extendable, base-paired oligonucleotides could inhibit amplification in a sequence-dependent manner. Model targets were chosen from the partially conserved ribosomal 16S rDN...
