Polyoma virus minichromosomes: a soluble in vitro replication system. 1981

B B Gourlie, and M R Krauss, and A J Buckler-White, and R M Benbow, and V Pigiet

Polyoma virus minichromosomes were isolated from infected 3T6 cells by hypotonic extraction of isolated nuclei. The kinetics of in vitro DNA synthesis in the nuclear extract was similar to that observed with intact nuclei. The majority of the products of in vitro DNA synthesis sedimented with replicative intermediate (RI) minichromosomes and migrated as two bands (RI-a and RI-b) on 1.4% agarose gels. The kinetics of deoxynucleotide monophosphate incorporation into these species was consistent with the existence of several rate-limiting steps in in vitro replication by polyoma minichromosomes. Electron microscope analysis showed that the RI-a band consisted almost entirely of RI theta structures ranging from 46 to 87% replicated, with one-half of all theta structures 67 +/- 4% replicated. The RI-b material was more complex, consisting of sigma and alpha structures with tails ranging from 7 to 114% of polyoma genome length and, less frequently, of linked and multiple linked dimeric structures.

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
D009690 Nucleic Acid Conformation The spatial arrangement of the atoms of a nucleic acid or polynucleotide that results in its characteristic 3-dimensional shape. DNA Conformation,RNA Conformation,Conformation, DNA,Conformation, Nucleic Acid,Conformation, RNA,Conformations, DNA,Conformations, Nucleic Acid,Conformations, RNA,DNA Conformations,Nucleic Acid Conformations,RNA Conformations
D011120 Polyomavirus A genus of potentially oncogenic viruses of the family POLYOMAVIRIDAE. These viruses are normally present in their natural hosts as latent infections. The virus is oncogenic in hosts different from the species of origin.

D012093 Replicon Any DNA sequence capable of independent replication or a molecule that possesses a REPLICATION ORIGIN and which is therefore potentially capable of being replicated in a suitable cell.

D002499 Centrifugation, Density Gradient Separation of particles according to density by employing a gradient of varying densities. At equilibrium each particle settles in the gradient at a point equal to its density.

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.
