Structure of chromatin subunits: an endonuclease Serratia marcescens study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrophoretic properties of chromatin subunits--nucleosomes--obtained by treatment of chromatin with the Serratia marcescens endonuclease have been studied. Double-stranded breaks of DNA between adjacent nucleosomes do not necessarily lead to their disjunction. Fragmentation of the DNA within the nucleosomes may proceed simultaneously with the breakdown of the DNA between the nucleosomes at early stages of the endonuclease digestion. Electrophoretic mobility and chromatographic properties of mononucleosomes, their dimers and trimers with internally degraded DNA was not changed. It has been deduced that the integrity of chromatin particles with internally fragmented DNA is supported by histone interaction inside and between the nucleosomes.

Postoperative Serratia marcescens wound infections traced to an out-of-hospital source.
From 25 August to 28 September 1994, 7 cardiovascular surgery (CVS) patients at a California hospital acquired postoperative Serratia marcescens infections, and 1 died. To identify the outbreak source, a cohort study was done of all 55 adults who underwent CVS at the hospital during the outbreak. Specimens from the hospital environment and from hands of selected staff were cultured. S. marcesce...

متن کاملComparative immunological and enzymatic study of the tryptophan synthetase beta 2 subunit in the Enterobacteriaceae.
The beta(2) subunits of tryptophan synthetase, formula alpha(2)beta(2), from Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Serratia marcescens were compared by three criteria. (i) alphabeta association constants for the various beta(2) subunits and E. coli alpha subunit varied between 3.6 x 10(8)m(-1) for E. coli and 0.33 x 10(8)m(-1) for S. marcesc...
متن کاملUse of molecular typing to study the epidemiology of Serratia marcescens.
Although Serratia marcescens is a well-known nosocomial pathogen, investigation of its hospital ecology has been limited by the lack of available typing techniques. During an investigation of the occurrence of this organism in a neonatal intensive care unit, we evaluated a number of such techniques. Using a selective medium, we conducted prospective surveillance of neonatal rectal colonization ...
متن کاملCloning of a Serratia marcescens Gene Encoding Chitinase.
Serratia marcescens, a chitinase-producing microorganism, was shown to produce five unique chitinolytic proteins with subunit molecular masses of 21, 36, 48, 52, and 57 kilodaltons. A cosmid library of S. marcescens DNA was constructed in the broad-host-range cosmid pLAFR1 and screened in Escherichia coli for clones capable of degrading chitin. A total of four independent clones (22- to 27-kilo...
