Effect of inhibition of DNA synthesis on histone synthesis and deposition.
We have reinvestigated the degree of coupling between DNA and histone synthesis in mammalian cells. In at least one cell line (HTC cells), the coupling is not nearly as tight as had previously been inferred from experiments with HeLa cells. The site of deposition of such histones which continue to be made in the presence of sufficient hydroxyurea to depress DNA synthesis almost totally has been studied. Deposition seems to be on material which absorbs at 260 nm. This material is not a part of the bulk chromatin and binds histone in a relatively tight manner. The possible role of such a material in histone synthesis and deposition is discussed.
Analysis of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid in a cariogenic strain of Streptococcus faecalis: an approach to identifying genetic determinants on cryptic plasmids.
Streptococcus faecalis strains ND539 and OG1 have been previously shown to be cariogenic in gnotobiotic animals. Deoxyribonucleic acid analyses have revealed the presence of a single 26-megadalton plasmid designated pAM539 in the former strain, whereas the latter strain was found to be plasmid-free. By gene transfer experiments, it was possible to construct isogenic pairs of strains that differed only with regard to the presence or absence of pAM539. Comparative studies of isogenic pairs showed that the presence of pAM539 conferred bacterial sensitivity to a bacteriocin produced by S. faecalis strain 5952.
Characterization of plasmids determining hemolysin and bacteriocin production in Streptococcus faecalis 5952.
Two plasmids designated pOB1 and pOB2 were isolated from Streptococcus faecalis strain 5952 and found to have molecular weights of approximately 46 X 10(6) and 28 X 10(6), respectively. pOB1 was found to determine hemolytic activity and was transmissible, whereas pOB2 appeared to determine a bacteriocin that is specifically inhibitory to S. faecalis strains harboring the 26-megadalton plasmid pAM539.
