1. Utilização de lipídio catiônico para neutralização da carga de DNA e aplicação do complexo na imunização de camundongos.
Embora a imunização gênica apresente vantagens sobre as vacinas convencionais, nem sempre a produção de anticorpos e a conseqüente proteção conferida pelo sistema imune contra o antígeno de interesse são satisfatórias. As causas da baixa eficácia da imunização gênica, nestes casos, ainda são pouco conhecidas, porém um dos pontos mais relevan

2. Generation of linear multigenome-length plasmid molecules in Bacillus subtilis.
Linear multigenome-length double and single stranded plasmid DNA was identified in a Bacillus subtilis ATP-dependent DNAase mutant strain (addA5) bearing plasmids pC194 or pBD95ts. Plasmid pBC30, a seg mutant of pC194, as well as some pUB110 derivatives with rearrangements external to the minimal replicon, produce high amounts of such a concatemeric DNA, eve

3. Efficient resolution of replicated poxvirus telomeres to native hairpin structures requires two inverted symmetrical copies of a core target DNA sequence.
The terminal hairpin sequences of the linear double-stranded DNA genome of the leporipoxvirus Shope fibroma virus (SFV) has been cloned in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in recombination-deficient Escherichia coli as a palindromic insert within circular plasmid vectors. This sequence configuration is equivalent to the inverted repeat structure detected as a te

4. Nonhomologous DNA end joining of synthetic hairpin substrates in Xenopus laevis egg extracts.
Processes of DNA end joining are assumed to play a major role in the elimination of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) in higher eucaryotic cells. Linear plasmid molecules terminated by nonhomologous restriction ends are the typical substrates used in the analysis of joining mechanisms. However, due to their limited structural variability, DSB ends generated by

5. Diethyl pyrocarbonate: a chemical probe for DNA cruciforms.
Two palindromic DNA sequences were analyzed with respect to their chemical reactivities with diethyl pyrocarbonate. In negatively supercoiled plasmid templates enhanced N7 carbethoxylation was found with individual purines located in presumptive single-stranded loops of DNA cruciform structures. No enhanced reactivity at these positions was observed in linea

6. Nucleosome phasing on a DNA fragment from the replication origin of simian virus 40 and rephasing upon cruciform formation of the DNA.
Nucleosomes were reconstituted in vitro from a fragment of DNA spanning the simian virus 40 minimal replication origin. The fragment contains a 27-base-pair palindrome (perfect inverted repeat). DNA molecules with stable cruciform structures were generated by heteroduplexing this DNA fragment with mutants altered within the palindromic sequence (C. Nobile an

7. Comparative Characterization of Rep Proteins from the Helper-Dependent Adeno-Associated Virus Type 2 and the Autonomous Goose Parvovirus
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are nonautonomous human parvoviruses in that they are dependent on helper functions supplied by other viruses or on genotoxic stimuli for conditions permissive for replication. In the absence of helper, AAV type 2 enters latency by integration into a specific site on human chromosome 19. This feature of AAV, in combination wit

8. DNA probe for strain typing of Cryptococcus neoformans.
A 7-kb linear plasmid, harbored by a URA5 transformant, hybridized to all the chromosomes of Cryptococcus neoformans separated by contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis. Its linear maintenance was determined to have been facilitated by the presence of telomere-like sequences at its free ends. Hybridization of this plasmid to AccI-digested

9. Influence of molecular weight of DNA on the determination of anti-DNA antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) sera by radioimmunoassay.
Using a radioimmunoassay (RIA) based on the Farr technique with radioactively labeled 3-H-DNA for quantitative measurements of anti-DNA antibodies in sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the influence of molecular weight of DNA (ranging from 0.1 times 10-6 to 22.0 times 10-6 daltons) on binding and precipitation in this system has been i

10. N4 virion DNA dependent-RNA polymerase: initiation sequences utilized by the enzyme on heterologous templates.
Bacteriophage N4 virion-encapsulated RNA polymerase, the enzyme responsible for transcription of the phage early RNAs, is unable to use duplex linear DNA as a template. In contrast to other RNA polymerases, the enzyme transcribes denatured N4 DNA with in vivo specificity. The promoter sequences for three sites of transcription initiation on the N4 genome hav

11. Identification and Characterization of a pSLA2 Plasmid Locus Required for Linear DNA Replication and Circular Plasmid Stable Inheritance in Streptomyces lividans
Streptomyces linear plasmids and linear chromosomes can replicate also in a circular form when their telomeres are deleted. The 17-kb linear plasmid pSLA2 has been a useful model in studies of such replicons. Here we report that the minimal origin initiating replication of pSLA2-derived plasmids as circular molecules cannot propagate these plasmids in a line

12. Z-DNA binding protein from chicken blood nuclei.
A protein (Z alpha) that appears to be highly specific for the left-handed Z-DNA conformer has been identified in chicken blood nuclear extracts. Z alpha activity is measured in a band-shift assay by using a radioactive probe consisting of a (dC-dG)35 oligomer that has 50% of the deoxycytosines replaced with 5-bromodeoxycytosine. In the presence of 10 mM Mg2
