Procedure for purification of intact DNA from vaccinia virus. 1978

C V Cabrera, and M Esteban

A procedure for the isolation of intact vaccinia DNA molecules by chromatography on hydroxyapatite in the presence of 6 M urea is described. When lysates of virions containing 0.5 to 10 microgram of DNA were employed, over 95% of the viral DNA could be recovered free of poteins. Vaccinia DNA molecules isolated in this manner sedimented at 68S in neutral sucrose gradients and had an average contour length of 62.3 micrometer when examined in an electron microscope, and the DNA could be cleaved with the restriction endonuclease EcoRI and BamHI. The results of these analyses showed that intact vaccinia DNA molecules of 120 X 10(6) to 130 X 10(6) molecular weight could be obtained by the procedures described.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
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.
