Abstract
We have exploited this reaction to develop a method for removal of polymerase-produced mutant sequences that arise during sequence amplification by PCR. After denaturation and reannealing, the PCR product pool is subjected to MutH, MutL, and MutS mismatch repair proteins under double-strand cleavage...

Abstract
We pursued a strategy of transferring a potentially neuroprotective gene into rat embryonic mesencephalic rat cells in vitro, before grafting them into the denervated striatum of 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rats. We performed intrastriatal grafts of embryonic day 14 mesencephalic cells infected with...

Abstract
We have identified two distinct subsets of primary sensory olfactory neurons (PONs) in the H-OMP-LacZ-6 transgenic mouse. In these transgenic mice, a LacZ reporter gene under the control of a 294 base pair element from the 5' promoter region of the olfactory marker protein (OMP) gene was expressed i...

Abstract
We examine the deaminating ability of aerobic nitric oxide (NO) toward single-stranded DNA at very low (micromolar and below) total exposures, using a sensitive genetic method that allows us to study a single deamination event at a specific site in a 7200-nucleotide DNA molecule within a pool of ca....

A novel insertion sequence, designated IS1070, was identified on the lactose plasmid of Leuconostoc lactis NZ6009 by nucleotide sequence analysis. The 1027-bp sequence contains partially matched (24 of 28 bp) inverted repeats and has one long open reading frame. The deduced 305-amino-acid sequence d...

Abstract
Expression of the LAC9 gene from the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis in HepG2 human hepatoblastoma cells efficiently induced luciferase expression from reporter plasmids containing the four LAC9 binding sites from the K. lactis GAL1-GAL10 gene linked to a basal promoter. Induction was approximately 100fo...

Abstract
We set up a system to re-examine this issue. We analysed the ability of mutant CAP-E171L and CAP-E171K proteins to bind a near-consensus CAP site in vivo and found it to be diminished fourfold relative to wild type in each case. Activation of lac transcription by these mutant proteins remains the sa...

Abstract
High-frequency conjugation of the lactose plasmid pLP712 is associated with a constitutive cell aggregation phenotype and is facilitated by cointegration with a sex factor. Analysis of 23 independently derived enlarged lactose plasmids revealed that the sex factor DNA present in cointegrates varied...

Abstract
Escherichia coli lac repressor is a tetrameric protein composed of 360 amino acid subunits. Considerable attention has focused on its N-terminal region which is isolated by cleavage with proteases yielding N-terminal fragments of 51 to 59 amino acid residues. Because these short peptide fragments bi...
