Mutation and recombination of bacteriophage lambda: effect of ultraviolet radiation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Defects in the bacterial recB or recC or phage red or int gene did not impair ultraviolet light-induced clear mutations of lambda phage. Clear mutants of cI and cII genes were not enriched among RecA-promoted UV-induced recombinants between the N and O genes which closely encompass the c genes. No correlation was observed between UV-induced mutation and genetic recombination.

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...

Background: Apoptin is a protein from chicken anemia virus that could induce apoptosis specifically in the cancer cells but it has not any effect in the normal cells. Phage therapy is a novel field of cancer therapy and phage nanobioparticles (NBPs) such as λ phage could be modified to deliver and express genetic cassettes into eukaryotic cells safely in contrast with animal viruses. The bacter...
متن کاملAnalysis of the inactivation mechanism of bacteriophage by Atmospheric barrier discharge
The inactivation mechanism of virus and bacteria by atmospheric discharge plasma has been studied actively. However, predominant factors in the inactivation are not clear at all. Because the atmospheric discharge plasma includes a lot of possible inactivation factors such as active oxygen species, ozone and ultraviolet rays, it is difficult to analyze each effect separately. In this study, bact...

is a metabolically active cellular component of bacteria. TranscripDNA tion and replication can proceed continuously throughout the growth and division of bacterial cells. Enzymes methylate DNA bases and when they have not acted restriction enzymes nick and break double-stranded DNA molecules producing substrates for further degradation. When radiations or chemicals damage DNA, repair enzymes e...
متن کاملThe effect of attachment site mutations on strand exchange in bacteriophage lambda site-specific recombination.
Recombination of phage lambda attachment sites occurs by sequential exchange of the DNA strands at two specific locations. The first exchange produces a Holliday structure, and the second resolves it to recombinant products. Heterology for base substitution mutations in the region between the two strand exchange points (the overlap region) reduces recombination; some mutations inhibit the accum...
