TLDR
Escherichia coli cells are 4--6 times more transformable and 20--30 times more competent after 24 h incubation in cold calcium chloride than immediately after calcium chloride treatment.

A point mutation in the core subunit gene of yeast mitochondrial RNA polymerase is suppressed by a high level of specificity factor MTF1

TL;DR: The results indicate that suppression is mediated by an increased level of MTF1 protein in mitochondria of the rpo41/pet-ts798 mutant, which is a mitochondrial protein and no apparent cleavage occurs during its import into mitochondria.

Peptide, antibacterial agent, peptide gene, recombinant DNA and method for preparing the peptide

Hara Seiichi
TL;DR: In this article, a peptide represented by the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, an antibacterial agent comprising the peptide as an active ingredient, peptide gene encoding peptide, a recombinant DNA comprising peptide genes and a method for producing peptide was presented.

Two different aldolase A mRNA species in rat tissues

TL;DR: Double-stranded DNA was synthesized with reverse transcriptase from size-fractionated poly(A)-containing RNA from rat ascites hepatoma cells and the partial amino acid sequence of the cDNA sequence was determined, and found to coincide with that of rabbit aldolase A.

Euglena gracilis chloroplast ribosomal RNA transcription units. Nucleotide sequence polymorphism in 5 S rRNA genes and 5 S rRNAs.

TL;DR: The three tandemly repeated ribosomal RNA operons from the chloroplast genome of Euglena gracilis Klebs, Pringsheim Strain Z each contain a 5 S rRNA gene distal to the 23 S r RNA gene, which is cloned and found to exhibit sequence polymorphism at five bases within the "procaryotic loop" coding region.

Construction and characterization of new cloning vehicles. II. A multipurpose cloning system.

TL;DR: In vitro recombination techniques were used to construct a new cloning vehicle, pBR322, which is a relaxed replicating plasmid, does not produce and is sensitive to colicin E1, and carries resistance genes to the antibiotics ampicillin (Ap) and tetracycline (Tc).

Nonchromosomal Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria: Genetic Transformation of Escherichia coli by R-Factor DNA

TL;DR: Covalently-closed, catenated, and open (nicked) circular forms of R-factor DNA are all effective in transformation, but denaturation and sonication abolish the transforming ability of R.factor DNA in this system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium-dependent bacteriophage DNA infection.

TL;DR: Escherichia coli cells of strain K12 and C can be made competent to take up temperate phage DNA without the use of “helper phage”, and is effective for both linear and circular DNA molecules.
