Bacteriophage PRD1 DNA polymerase: evolution of DNA polymerases. [PDF]
A small lipid-containing bacteriophage PRD1 specifies its own DNA polymerase that utilizes terminal protein as a primer for DNA synthesis. The PRD1 DNA polymerase gene has been sequenced, and its amino acid sequence has been deduced. This protein-primed DNA polymerase consists of 553 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 63,300 ...

Mismatch repair in recombination of bacteriophage T4
The review focuses on the mechanism of mismatch repair in bacteriophage T4. It was first observed in T4 as an extra recombination mechanism, which contributed to the general recombination only when particular rII mutations were used as genetic markers ...

Cyclocytidine hydrochloride inhibits the synthesis of relaxed circular DNA of hepatitis B virus [PDF]
Background Cyclocytidine hydrochloride (HCl) has been reported to inhibit DNA synthesis by affecting DNA polymerase. Here, we tested the antiviral effect of cyclocytidine on hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA synthesis, which is reliant on DNA polymerase ...

Promutagenicity of 8-Chloroguanine, A Major Inflammation-Induced Halogenated DNA Lesion
Chronic inflammation is closely associated with cancer development. One possible mechanism for inflammation-induced carcinogenesis is DNA damage caused by reactive halogen species, such as hypochlorous acid, which is released by myeloperoxidase to kill ...

A nuclear family A DNA polymerase from Entamoeba histolytica bypasses thymine glycol. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Eukaryotic family A DNA polymerases are involved in mitochondrial DNA replication or translesion DNA synthesis. Here, we present evidence that the sole family A DNA polymerase from the parasite protozoan E.

Preparation of Phi29 DNA polymerase free of amplifiable DNA using ethidium monoazide, an ultraviolet-free light-emitting diode lamp and trehalose. [PDF]
We previously reported that multiply-primed rolling circle amplification (MRPCA) using modified random RNA primers can amplify tiny amounts of circular DNA without producing any byproducts.

DNA Polymerase Profiling [PDF]
We report a simple homogeneous fluorescence assay for quantification of DNA polymerase function in high throughput. The fluorescence signal is generated by the DNA polymerase triggering opening of a molecular beacon extension of the template strand. A resulting distance alteration is reported by fluorescence resonance energy transfer between two dyes ...
