摘要:
The invention provides methods and compositions for enhancing the speed and sensitivity of helicase-dependent amplification through the use of an endonuclease.
摘要:
Compositions and methods useful in nucleic acid assays are provided. The invention permits detection of test and control nucleic acids. Test nucleic acids can be immobilized at multiple locations, such that amplification of either a test nucleic acid or a control nucleic acid provides a captured nucleic acid in a control capture zone.
摘要:
Methods and a kit are provided for selectively and exponentially amplifying nucleic acids and include the use of a helicase preparation and a DNA polymerase such that the amplification can be performed isothermally.

摘要:
The present invention relates to methods to engineer nicking endonucleases from existing Type IIs restriction endonucleases, and the production of the engineered nicking endonucleases. Two engineering methods are disclosed. One involves inactivating the dimerization function of a Type IIs restriction enzyme using site-directed mutagenesis approach. The other involves replacing the cleavage domain of a Type IIs restriction enzyme with the cleavage domain from a natural occurring nicking endonuclease, N.BstNBI.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the recombinant DNA which encodes the SwaI restriction endonuclease, modification methylase, and the production of SwaI restriction endonuclease from the recombinant DNA. Related expression vectors, pHKUV5 which features a strong, constitutive UV5 promoter without the Lac repressor binding site and pHKT7 which contains a powerful controllable T7 promoter and a low copy number origin of replication, are also disclosed.

摘要:
The methylase selection method was used to clone the SnaBI methylase gene (snaBIM) from Sphaerotilus natans (ATCC 15291). An active SnaBI methylase was cloned in E. coli using pSnaBI-2, a pUC19 derivative containing two SnaBI sites. Because methylase and restriction genes are usually located alongside each other in a restriction-modification systems, efforts were made to clone the downstream DNA by inverse PCR. Inverse PCR cloned the missing portion of the SnaBI endonuclease and also identified a control, or C, protein. The two open reading frames snaBIR (ORF1) and snaBIC (ORF2) converged toward the SnaBI methylase gene (ORF). Attempts to establish a snaBIR-recombinant plasmid expressing the SnaBI endonuclease in E.coli modified with SnaBI methylase failed. Overexpression of the SnaBI endonuclease in E. coli required the use of the heterospecific BsaAI methylase.
