Cytoplasmic DNA in Entamoeba histolytica: its biological significance.

Abstract:

:We report a study on the DNA organization in Entamoeba histolytica using a ribosomal DNA probe. The rDNA genes were found forming mers which were separated in a typical ladder pattern by pulse field electrophoresis. DNA rosette structures were visualized through electron microscopy in DNA eluted from bands recognized by the ribosomal probe. The in situ hybridization experiments using a DNA probe suggested that the rDNA genes are portioned between the nucleus and a cytoplasmic structure. These findings provide new data on DNA organization in E. histolytica and open the question concerning the presence of a novel organelle in this eukaryotic parasite.

  • Different arrangement of human papillomavirus E2 binding sites distinguishes cutaneous types from those associated with mucosal lesions.

    abstract::High-risk-type human papillomavirus DNA sequences are found in a high percentage of carcinomas from the uterine-cervix, with the viral E1-E2 gene region usually disrupted and the E6 and E7 oncoproteins consistently expressed. The E2 protein is known to repress early transcription from genital HPV promoters having a pr...
