Genes for tRNALys5 from Drosophila melanogaster. 1982

D DeFranco, and K B Burke, and S Hayashi, and G M Tener, and R C Miller, and D Söll

The sequences of two cloned genes from Drosophila which hybridize with tRNALys5 are reported. One gene, in plasmid pDt39, has a sequence which corresponds to the sequence of tRNA. The other gene, in pDt59R, differs in three nucleotides pairs. Both plasmids are transcribed in vitro with extracts of Drosophila Kc cells to give full-sized tRNA precursors with four additional nucleotides at the 5'-end as well as truncated molecules containing 35 nucleotides. This premature termination occurs in a block of four T residues within the mature coding region. Sequences flanking the tRNA genes show little in common except for the blocks of five or more T-residues beyond the 3'-end of the gene. pDt39 hybridizes to 84AB on the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila and pDt59R hybridizes to 29A.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
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.
