Specific excision of the inserted DNA segment from hybrid plasmids constructed by the poly(dA). poly (dT) method. 1976

H Hofstetter, and A Schamböck, and J Van Den Berg, and C Weissmann

The hybrid plasmid PBETAG, consisting of plasmid PMB9 DNA with an insert of rabbit globin DNA (about 600 base pairs) flanked by poly(dA) poly(dT) regions (Maniatis, T., Kee, S.G., Efstratiadis, A. and Kafatos, F.C. (1976) Cell 8, 163-182), was cleaved into two fragments by endonuclease S1 under conditions of partial denaturation. Only the smaller fragment (575 base pairs) contained globin-specific sequences, showing that excision had occurred in the A-T-rich regions. This method of cleavage provides a useful procedure for assessing the length of inserts in hybrid plasmids prepared by the poly(dA)-POLY(DT) tail method, and allows the preparative recovery of the insert.

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
D011067 Poly dA-dT Polydeoxyribonucleotides made up of deoxyadenine nucleotides and thymine nucleotides. Present in DNA preparations isolated from crab species.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
