Figure 2. Meselson and Stahl experimented withE. coligrown first in heavy nitrogen (15N) then in14N. DNA grown in15N (blue band) was heavier than DNA grown in14N (red band), and sedimented to a lower level on ultracentrifugation. After one round of replication, the DNA sedimented halfway...
·The fidelity of replication is improved by proofreading by a factor of ~100. We can divide the errors that DNA polymerase makes during replication into two classes. ·Frameshifts ·Substitutions Figure 14.6 Bacterial DNA polymerases scrutinize the base pair at the end of the growing chain and...
Replication timing For the stable RT and USP7 RT, synchronously cycling cells were pulse labeled with the nucleotide analog BrdU for 2 h, respectively. Cells were sorted into early, mid and late S-phase fractions, 20,000 cells each, on the basis of DNA content using FACS. For the trans...

DNA replication in eukaryotes initiates at many origins distributed across each chromosome. Origins are bound by the origin recognition complex (ORC), which, with Cdc6 and Cdt1, recruits and loads the Mcm2-7 (MCM) helicase as an inactive double hexamer d

FIGURE 7. Effects of cognate versus non-cognate dNTPs on DNA 3′ end-directed cleavage by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. A, schematic of substrates. 5′ end-labeled (indicated by an asterisk) R−63/−23 (gray) was annealed to DNA strands (black) with a 3′-dideoxy terminus (indicated...
the conclusion that the DNA in the band of intermediate density is just half-labeled is provided by the frame showing the mixture of generations 0 and 1.9. When allowance is made for the relative amounts of DNA in the three peaks, the peak of intermediate density is found to be centered ...
Figure 1.The spectrum of protection against cancer provided by WT p53. As copies of WT p53 (TP53+/+) are lost, cancer protection decreases. When oncomorphic mutations are acquired, cancer susceptibility is increased. Oncomorphic p53 proteins were first identified over two decades ago, when diffe...
There were large multifocal nuclear accumulations of γH2AX and 53BP1 in wild-type and Ifnar1fl/fl mice injected with Syn-cre, as previously found in nuclear bodies formed around DNA lesions in cell lines undergoing replication stress28, with an average size of 2 µm corresponding to ...
