Specific recognition of cruciform DNA by nuclear protein HMG1.

TL;DR: Biochemical and immunological data showed that this protein is HMG1, an evolutionarily conserved, essential, and abundant component of the nucleus, which points to a critical role for cruciform DNA conformations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A versatile class of positive-selection vectors based on the nonviability of palindrome-containing plasmids that allows cloning into long polylinkers

TL;DR: A general method is described to convert virtually any small or medium-sized plasmid into a positive-selection vector and several symmetrical polylinkers and drug-resistance cassettes within the vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Processing of recombination intermediates by the RuvABC proteins.

TL;DR: Genetic and biochemical studies indicate that branch migration and resolution are coupled by direct interactions between the three proteins, possibly by the formation of a RuvABC complex.

DNA Packaging in dsDNA Bacteriophages

TL;DR: The present work investigated the mechanism and mechanism of ATP-driven DNA translocation into the prohead and the structure of packaged phage DNA, as well as the interactions of DNA packaging with other DNA processes in vivo.

Cloning in single-stranded bacteriophage as an aid to rapid DNA sequencing

TL;DR: An approach to DNA sequencing using chain-terminating inhibitors (Sanger et al., 1977) combined with cloning of small fragments of DNA in a single-stranded DNA bacteriophage is described, determining the 2771-nucleotide sequence of the largest MboI restriction enzyme fragment from human mitochondrial DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mechanism for gene conversion in fungi.

TL;DR: The model indicates how precise breakage and rejoining of chromatids could occur in the vicinity of the conversion, so that conversion would frequently be accompanied by the recombination of outside markers.

Cruciform structures in supercoiled DNA

TL;DR: Specific sites in supercoiled pVH51 and pBR322 DNAs are cleaved by single-strand specific nucleases in the loops of potential cruciform structures.

Mapping of Deletions and Substitutions in Heteroduplex DNA Molecules of Bacteriophage Lambda by Electron Microscopy

TL;DR: Electron microscopy of heteroduplex DNA molecules, composed of one strand of Escherichia coli phage λ+ DNA annealed to the complementary DNA strand of a λ deletion or substitution mutant, permits visualization, as well as precise measurements and mapping, of the unpaired single-stranded regions of nonhomology in the otherwise double- Stranded molecules.
