The Effects on Escherichia coli and Plasmid DNA Using Ultrasoft X-ray

Ultrasoft X-ray의 Escherichia coli균과 plasmid DNA에 대한 영향

  • Published : 2000.02.01

Abstract

We studied the effect of ultrasoft X-ray obtained from the Pohang Light Source (PLS), on the mutation of E. coli and the damage of plasmid. After irradiation, the supercoiled plasmid DNA converted to the relaxed-form, and then to the linear-form. We transformed the irradiated plasmid DNA and isolated $\beta$-galactosidase mutants. We also isolated $\beta$-galactosidase mutants from the directly irradiated cells. There were preferred mutational sites on DNA induced by ultrasoft X-ray.

포항 선형 가속기로부터 얻은 ultrasoft X-선이 대장균의 돌연변이 유도와 plasmid DNA 변이에 주는 영향을 알아보았다. 빔을 조사함에 따라 supercoil 형태의 plasmid DNA가 relaxed 형태로 변하고, 그후 선형으로 변해 감을 확인하였다. 빔을 조사한 plasmid DNA를 E. coli에 형질전환하여 $\beta$-galactosidase의 돌연변이 균을 분리하였고, 빔을 직접 조한 E. coli균으로부터도 $\beta$-galactosidase의 돌연변이 균을 얻었다. 변이된 plasmid DNA와 변이 대장균들의 plasmid DNA의 염기 부분을 변화를 확인하였으며 이 빔에 의해 주로 변이가 일어나는 부분이 있음을 알았다.
