13. Heteroduplex substrates for bacteriophage lambda site-specific recombination: cleavage and strand transfer products.
Lambda's Int protein acts as a specific topoisomerase at attachment sites, the DNA segments that are required for site-specific recombination. Int cleaves each strand of an attachment site at a unique place and creates strand exchanges by joining broken ends from two different parents. To study the action of Int topoisomerase in more detail, heteroduplex att

14. Architecture of the Nuclear Periphery of Rat Pachytene Spermatocytes: Distribution of Nuclear Envelope Proteins in Relation to Synaptonemal Complex Attachment Sites
The nucleus of spermatocytes provides during the first meiotic prophase an interesting model for investigating relationships of the nuclear envelope (NE) with components of the nuclear interior. During the pachytene stage, meiotic chromosomes are synapsed via synaptonemal complexes (SCs) and attached through both ends to the nuclear periphery. This associati

15. Mechanisms of attachment of Mycoplasma arthritidis to host cells in vitro.
Although other investigators have reported that Mycoplasma arthritidis failed to attach to several types of mammalian cells in vitro, we showed that it attached well to rat synovial fibroblasts, lung cells, and skin cells but not to kidney cells, suggesting that receptor sites are unequally expressed or distributed among different rat tissues. M. arthritidis

16. Characterization of genetic elements required for site-specific integration of the temperate lactococcal bacteriophage phi LC3 and construction of integration-negative phi LC3 mutants.
The genetic elements required for the integration of the temperate lactococcal bacteriophage phi LC3 into the chromosome of its bacterial host, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, were identified and characterized. The phi LC3 phage attachment site, attP, was mapped and sequenced. DNA sequence analysis of attP and of the bacterial attachment site, attB, as w

17. Modulation of Cell-Substrate Adhesion by Arachidonic Acid: Lipoxygenase Regulates Cell Spreading and ERK1/2-inducible Cyclooxygenase Regulates Cell Migration in NIH-3T3 Fibroblasts
Adhesion of cells to an extracellular matrix is characterized by several discrete morphological and functional stages beginning with cell-substrate attachment, followed by cell spreading, migration, and immobilization. We find that although arachidonic acid release is rate-limiting in the overall process of adhesion, its oxidation by lipoxygenase and cy

18. RGD-dependent entry of coxsackievirus A9 into host cells and its bypass after cleavage of VP1 protein by intestinal proteases.
The recently reported nucleotide sequence of coxsackievirus A9 (CAV-9) showed that unlike other enteroviruses, CAV-9 has an insertion of about 17 amino acids at the C-terminal end of VP1 (K. H. Chang, P. Auvinen, T. Hyypiä, and G. Stanway, J. Gen. Virol. 70:3269-3280, 1989). This sequence includes the RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) motif which is know

19. The geometry of a synaptic intermediate in a pathway of bacteriophage lambda site-specific recombination.
Bacteriophage lambda uses site-specific recombination to move its DNA into and out of the Escherichia coli genome. The recombination event is mediated by the phage-encoded integrase (Int) at short DNA sequences known as attachment ( att ) sites. Int catalyzes recombination via at least four distinct pathways, distinguishable by their requirements for accesso

20. Biosynthesis of cell wall peptidoglycan and polysaccharide antigens by protoplasts of type III group B Streptococcus.
The formation of a nascent peptidoglycan-group-specific antigen of type III group B Streptococcus at the cell membrane level was demonstrated with an M-1 mutanolysin-prepared protoplast system. Protoplasts of group B streptococci in suitably stabilized medium (20% sucrose) readily incorporated [3H]acetate into cell surface macromolecules. Four major polysacc

21. Post-transfer editing in vitro and in vivo by the β subunit of phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase
Translation of the genetic code requires attachment of tRNAs to their cognate amino acids. Errors during amino-acid activation and tRNA esterification are corrected by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase-catalyzed editing reactions, as extensively described for aliphatic amino acids. The contribution of editing to aromatic amino-acid discrimination is less well unders

22. virF, the host-range-determining virulence gene of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, affects T-DNA transfer to Zea mays.
The monocotyledonous plant Zea mays does not develop tumors after inoculation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens and is thus defined as nonhost. Agroinfection, Agrobacterium-mediated delivery of maize streak virus, demonstrates that transferred DNA (T-DNA) transfer to the plant does occur. Nopaline-type Agrobacterium strains such as C58 are efficient in the tran

23. Localization of the terminal steps of O-antigen synthesis in Salmonella typhimurium.
Previous immunoelectron microscopic studies have shown that both the final intermediate in O-antigen synthesis, undecaprenol-linked O polymer, and newly synthesized O-antigenic lipopolysaccharide are localized to the periplasmic face of the inner membrane (C. A. Mulford and M. J. Osborn, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80:1159-1163, 1983). In vivo pulse-chase exp

24. trans-Complementation Allows Recovery of Human Respiratory Syncytial Viruses That Are Infectious but Deficient in Cell-to-Cell Transmission
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) expresses three transmembrane glycoproteins: small hydrophobic protein SH, attachment protein G, and fusion protein F. The genes encoding SH and G can be deleted from the HRSV genome and infectious virus recovered. In contrast, HRSVs lacking the F gene or a functional replacement thereof have not been reported. To gen
