    Reverse transcriptase in a clinical strain of Escherichia coli: production of branched RNA-linked msDNA (1989)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1989-02-24
    Description: Branched RNA-linked multicopy single-stranded DNA (msDNA) originally detected in myxobacteria has now been found in a clinical isolate of Escherichia coli. Although lacking homology in the primary structure, the E. coli msDNA is similar in secondary structure to the myxobacterial msDNA's, including the 2',5'-phosphodiester linkage between RNA and DNA. A chromosomal DNA fragment responsible for the production of msDNA was cloned in an E. coli K12 strain; its DNA sequence revealed an open reading frame (ORF) of 586 amino acid residues. The ORF shows sequence similarity with retroviral reverse transcriptases and ribonuclease H. Disruption of the ORF blocked msDNA production, indicating that this gene is essential for msDNA synthesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lampson, B C -- Sun, J -- Hsu, M Y -- Vallejo-Ramirez, J -- Inouye, S -- Inouye, M -- F32 GM11970-01A1/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM26843/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Feb 24;243(4894 Pt 1):1033-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Piscataway 08854.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2466332" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Retronphage phi R73: an E. coli phage that contains a retroelement and integrates into a tRNA gene (1991)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1991-05-17
    Description: Some strains of Escherichia coli contain retroelements (retrons) that encode genes for reverse transcriptase and branched, multicopy, single-stranded DNA (msDNA) linked to RNA. However, the origin of retrons is unknown. A P4-like cryptic prophage was found that contains a retroelement (retron Ec73) for msDNA-Ec73 in an E. coli clinical strain. The entire genome of this prophage, named phi R73, is 12.7 kilobase pairs and is flanked by 29-base pair direct repeats derived from the 3' end of the selenocystyl transfer RNA gene (selC). P2 bacteriophage caused excision of the phi R73 prophage and acted as a helper to package phi R73 DNA into an infectious virion. The newly formed phi R73 closely resembled P4 as a virion and in its lytic growth. Retronphage phi R73 lysogenized a new host strain, reintegrating its genome into the selC gene of the host chromosome and enabling the newly formed lysogens to produce msDNA-Ec73. Hence, retron Ec73 can be transferred intercellularly as part of the genome of a helper-dependent retronphage.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Inouye, S -- Sunshine, M G -- Six, E W -- Inouye, M -- AI04043/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM44012/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1991 May 17;252(5008):969-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey at Rutgers, Piscataway 08854.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1709758" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
