[Affinity modification of E. coli RNA-polymerase in a complex with the promoter by phosphorylating derivatives of primer oligonucleotides]. 1986

Oligonucleotides 2 to 7 nucleotide residues long, complementary to the codogenic strand of T7 promoter A2, have been synthesized; all of them contained a ribo-unit at the 3'-end. They were converted into 5'-(N-methyl)phosphoimidazolides, and the affinity reagents obtained were allowed to bind covalently to RNA polymerase in the presence of a promoter. Some of the nucleotide residues covalently attached occupied proper positions relative to the active centre of the phosphodiester bond synthesis and on addition of [alpha-32P]UTP were elongated, so that highly selective affinity labelling occurred. With oligonucleotides of various lengths, different distribution of the label between beta, beta' and sigma subunits of RNA polymerase took place. Most efficient was labelling of beta-subunit by the residue--pCpGpCpU, and of sigma-subunit by the residue--pApApApTp-CpGpCpU (p--radioactive phosphorus atom). In both cases, the amino acid residues labelled were histidines.

D007093 Imidazoles Compounds containing 1,3-diazole, a five membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms separated by one of the carbons. Chemically reduced ones include IMIDAZOLINES and IMIDAZOLIDINES. Distinguish from 1,2-diazole (PYRAZOLES).
D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D011401 Promoter Regions, Genetic DNA sequences which are recognized (directly or indirectly) and bound by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase during the initiation of transcription.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D012321 DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).

D013604 T-Phages A series of 7 virulent phages which infect E. coli. The T-even phages T2, T4; (BACTERIOPHAGE T4), and T6, and the phage T5 are called "autonomously virulent" because they cause cessation of all bacterial metabolism on infection. Phages T1, T3; (BACTERIOPHAGE T3), and T7; (BACTERIOPHAGE T7) are called "dependent virulent" because they depend on continued bacterial metabolism during the lytic cycle. The T-even phages contain 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in place of ordinary cytosine in their DNA. Bacteriophages T,Coliphages T,Phages T,T Phages,T-Phage
