SPP1 DNA was cleaved by the restriction endonucleases, BglI, BglII, EcoRI, KpnI, SmaI, and SalI. The molecular weights of the DNA fragments obtained by single enzyme digestion or by consecutive digestion with two enzymes were determined by electron microscopic measurements of contour length and by gel electrophoresis. The major fragments from the six digests could be ordered to give a consistent restriction map of SPP1. The electropherograms of several digests indicated that certain fragments occurred in less than stoichiometric amounts or were heterogeneous in size. Such bands carried a major part of radioactivity, when SPP1 DNA was terminally labelled with P32 prior to degradation by restriction enzymes. These results, and studies of the effect of exonuclease III treatment on restriction enzyme patterns define the terminal restriction fragments. All data obtained support the conclusion drawn in the preceding paper (Morelli et al., 1978 b) that the SPP1 genome is terminally redundant and partially circularly permuted.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
