Chemical compound and disease context of ECs1777

 

Biological context of ECs1777

  • Although it carries two competent replication systems, a composite plasmid formed in vitro by linkage of the complete ColE1 and pSC101 plasmid replicons at their unique EcoRI endonuclease cleavage sites normally uses only the replication origin and functions of the ColE1 component [15].
  • Homing of a DNA endonuclease gene by meiotic gene conversion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [16].
  • We describe SegF, a novel site-specific DNA endonuclease encoded by gene 69, which is similar to GIY-YIG homing endonucleases of group I introns [3].
  • To test whether this ORF-encoded double-strand DNA endonuclease is involved in intron mobility in vivo, the same ribosomal cDNA was stably integrated into the C. reinhardtii chloroplast genome using particle gun mediated transformation [17].
  • These observations provide a detailed thermodynamic and kinetic explanation of how single-strand and double-strand methylation protect against endonuclease cleavage in vivo [18].
 

Anatomical context of ECs1777

 

Associations of ECs1777 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of ECs1777

  • The UvrA protein is the DNA binding and damage recognition subunit of the damage-specific UvrABC endonuclease [29].
  • Multicopy expression of rnc70 could suppress a lethal phenotype of the wild-type rnc allele in a certain genetic background; it could also inhibit the RNase III-mediated activation of lambdaN gene translation by competing for the RNA-binding site of the wild-type endonuclease [30].
 

Other interactions of ECs1777

  • A mutation that inactivates E. coli RNase E also increases the average lifetime of bulk E. coli mRNA and of many individual messages, suggesting that cleavage by this endonuclease may be the rate-determining step in the degradation of most mRNAs in E. coli [31].
  • These large precursors were cleaved by cell extracts first into intermediate size pieces which were subsequently processed by RNase P. On the basis of heat stability of mutant cell extracts, the endonuclease responsible for the initial cleavage appears to be distinct from RNase P and is designated RNase O [32].
  • NaeI, a novel DNA endonuclease, shows topoisomerase and recombinase activities when a Lys residue is substituted for Leu 43 [33].
  • Escherichia coli methyl-directed mismatch repair is initiated by MutS-, MutL-, and ATP-dependent activation of MutH endonuclease, which cleaves at d(GATC) sites in the vicinity of a mismatch [34].
  • We found that the degradation of linear duplex DNA was unaffected, but that the endonuclease and exonuclease activities for single-stranded DNA were inhibited by about 50% and 35%, respectively [35].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ECs1777

  • Using site-directed mutagenesis, we have constructed a universal code equivalent of the r1 ORF that, under appropriate promoter control, allows the overexpression in E. coli of a protein identical to the mitochondrial intron encoded "transposase". This protein exhibits a double strand endonuclease activity specific for the omega- site [8].
  • Fragments of Euglena chloroplast DNA generated by endonuclease R-Eco RI were separated by agarose-gel electrophoresis into 24 distinct bands [36].
  • DNA cleavage and ligation in vivo are precise: recombinant DNA molecules show functional continuity of the gene sequence cleaved by the enzyme and regeneration of nucleotide recognition sites for both the EcoRI endonuclease and the EcoRI DNA methylase [37].
  • Fok I was purified to homogeneity with phosphocellulose, DEAE-Sephadex, and gel chromatography, yielding 50 mg of pure Fok I endonuclease per liter of culture medium [38].
  • Induction of the endonuclease activity was reversible: depletion of Me2SO from the growth medium after treatment for 6 and 18 hr led to a rapid decrease in the level of activity [21].
