Mutagenic mechanisms associated with perturbations of DNA precursor biosynthesis in phage T4

Creator:: Ji, Jiuping
Abstract:: A crucial factor in determining the accuracy of DNA replication is maintenance of a balanced supply of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) at replication forks. Perturbation of dNTP biosynthesis can induce dNTP pool imbalance with deleterious genetic consequences, including increased mutagenesis, recombination, chromosomal abnormalities and cell death. Using the T4 bacteriophage system,...

Protein-protein interactions in the bacteriophage T4 dNTP synthetase complex

Creator:: Shen, Rongkun
Abstract:: The enzymes of dNTP synthesis in T4 infection associate to form a multienzyme complex, the T4 dNTP synthetase complex, facilitating the flow of metabolites en route to dNTPs, and their subsequent flow into DNA. Study of protein-protein interactions helps one to understand how the enzymes in the complex are organized...

Organization of the T4 dNTP synthetase complex at DNA replication sites

Creator:: Kim, JuHyun
Abstract:: With respect to a multienzyme complex of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) synthesis somehow juxtaposed with DNA replication sites, our laboratory has demonstrated the existence of a multienzyme complex in T4-infected E. coli, named the T4 dNTP synthetase complex, but the idea of direct linkage of dNTP synthesis to DNA replication and...

Precursors for mitochondrial DNA replication : metabolic sources and relations to mutagenesis and human diseases

Creator:: Song, Shiwei
Abstract:: It is well known that the mitochondrial genome has a much higher spontaneous mutation rate than the nuclear genome. mtDNA mutations have been identified in association with many diseases and aging. mtDNA replication continues throughout the cell cycle, even in post-mitotic cells. Therefore, a constant supply of nucleotides is required...

Regulation of ribonucleotide reductase analyzed by simultaneous measurement of the four enzyme activities

Creator:: Hendricks, Stephen P.
Abstract:: The first committed step in DNA biosynthesis occurs by direct reduction of ribonucleotides. This reduction is catalyzed by ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), an enzyme which uses a unique radical mechanism to facilitate the transformation. All four DNA precursors are synthesized by a single enzyme. Therefore, an intricate pattern of regulation has...

Attempted cloning of T4 phage ribonucleotide reductase

Creator:: Booth, Joseph
Abstract:: Ribonucleotide reductase is an important enzyme in the control of DNA replication within the cell. Ribonucleotide reductase exerts its control through enzymatic reduction of nucleoside diphosphates. The bacteriophage T4 enzyme is an example of the class of iron-requiring reductases which also includes E. coli and mammalian ribonucleotide reductases. The two...

Modulation of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate levels, DNA synthesis rates and fidelity in mammalian cells

Creator:: Martomo, Stella A.
Abstract:: Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) concentrations measured in cells are not symmetric. dGTP almost always represents only 5-10% of the total dNTP pools in cells. In an in vitro replication system involving semiconservative replication from an SV 40 origin, the mutation frequency of an M13 phagemid replicated by human cell extracts in...

Bacteriophage T4-coded dihydrofolate reductase : cloning and structural analysis of its gene and organization of flanking regions

Creator:: Purohit, Sarla
Abstract:: The dihydrofolate reductase gene of bacteriophate T4 has been investigated at the structural level to elucide the unusual regulation of expression of this gene and possible evolutionary relationships between the ohage and drug resistance factors-encoded dihydrofolate reductases (DHFR). A 1.1-kilobase-pair restriction fragment of the T4 multiple mutant dec8 containing frd,...

Vaccinia virus ribonucleotide reductase : gene sequencing, intracellular localization, and interaction with a DNA-binding protein

Creator:: Davis, Ralph Eugene, 1957-
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus infected monkey kidney cells had been previously shown to have an increased ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase (RR) activity. DNA from mutant virus resistant to hydroxyurea were digested with restriction endonucleases and were shown to have substoichiometric amounts of the Hind III F fragment. Additional information from Southern blotting experiments...
