Time-dependent mitotic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The time-dependent appearance of prototrophic recombinants between heterologously located artificial repeats has been studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. While initial prototrophic colony numbers from independent cultures were highly variable, additional recombinants were found to arise daily at roughly constant rates irrespective of culture. These late-appearing recombinants could be accounted for neither by detectable growth on the selective media nor by delayed appearance of recombinants present at the time of selective plating. Significantly, at no time did the distributions of recombinants fully match those expected according to the Luria-Delbruck model and, in fact, after the first day, the distributions much more closely approximated a Poisson distribution. Prototrophic recombinants accumulated not only on the relevant selective medium, but also on media unrelated to the acquired prototrophy.     

Dosimetry in a magnetically swept electron beam

In a magnetically swept electron beam the recombination correction applicable to conventional ionization chambers can become very large. The paper presents the general saturation curve which obtains under these conditions and describes the two-voltage technique for evaluating the true value of the dose. A chart is provided for solving the relevant equation.     

Identification of a third evolutionarily conserved gene within the RAG locus and its RAG1-dependent and -independent regulation

Recombination-activating gene (RAG)1 and RAG2 encode T and B lymphocyte-specific endonucleases indispensable for rearrangements of antigen-receptor gene segments but also capable of causing deleterious chromosome rearrangements. The mechanisms regulating RAG expression and repression are not clear. Here we identify NWC, a third evolutionarily conserved gene within the RAG locus, and show that it is ubiquitously expressed, with the notable exception of RAG-nonexpressing immature and mature T and B lymphocytes because in lymphocytes it is regulated by the RAG1 promoter and transcribed as RAG1-NWC hybrid mRNA molecules. We also show that in all other cells NWC is controlled by the RAG2 intragenic promoter, which in immature and mature T and B lymphocytes is silent. The possible implications of these findings for understanding the activation and inactivation of RAG genes in lymphocytes and their repression in other cells are discussed.     

Characterization of a recombinant canine coronavirus with a distinct receptor-binding (S1) domain

Canine alphacoronaviruses (CCoV) exist in two serotypes, type I and II, both of which can cause severe gastroenteritis. Here, we characterize a canine alphacoronavirus, designated CCoV-A76, first isolated in 1976. Serological studies show that CCoV-A76 is distinct from other CCoVs, such as the prototype CCoV-1-71. Efficient replication of CCoV-A76 is restricted to canine cell lines, in contrast to the prototypical type II strain CCoV-1-71 that more efficiently replicates in feline cells. CCoV-A76 can use canine aminopeptidase N (cAPN) receptor for infection of cells, but was unable to use feline APN (fAPN). In contrast, CCoV-1-71 can utilize both. Genomic analysis shows that CCoV-A76 possesses a distinct spike, which is the result of a recombination between type I and type II CCoV, that occurred between the N- and C-terminal domains (NTD and C-domain) of the S1 subunit. These data suggest that CCoV-A76 represents a recombinant coronavirus form, with distinct host cell tropism.
