Genetic analyses

Furthermore, 384 capillary lanes are incorporated into a 20-cm-diameter glass wafer to perform simultaneous genotyping. CGE separation of DNA samples from 384 individuals was performed on a 8-cm-long channel in only 325 s [980]. 

DNA analysis on a 12-sample 1-channel glass chip have been performed for (1) CGE separation of the PCR products of the human monocyte antigen (CD 14) gene, adenovirus 2 DNA and human p53 gene, and (2) sizing of the plasmid digest [982]. 

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of the p53 cDNA from clinical samples was analyzed by CGE separation on a fused silica chip. No 

FIGURE 9.22 Mask pattern for the 96-channel radial CAE microplate (10 cm in diameter). Separation channels with 200-pm double-T injectors were masked to 10-pm width and then etched to form 110-pm-wide by - 50-pm-deep channels. The diameter of the reservoir holes is 1.2 mm. The distance from the injector to the detection point is 33 mm [977]. Reprinted with permission from the American Chemical Society. 

A multiplex genetic analysis of short tandem repeats (STR) was carried out in a glass chip [543,983,984]. As required by the FBI s CODIS (combined DNA index system) for forensic identification, all 13 loci of STR are needed [543]. 

Processes Other than General Translesion Replication THAT Employ Pol and Rev Ip 

Although most attention has been given to the involvement of Pol and Revlp in translesion replication in the genome at large, these enzymes also appear to function in other cellular processes, most notahly in the repair of double-strand breaks and, among vertebrates, in somatic hypermutation. 

Woodgate, personal communication). All of these polymerases may be employed in somatic hypermutation to some degree in mammals. Data from in vitro experiments suggest that Poh has a marked facility for insertion opposite abasic sites (Vaisman et al., 2002), and a variety of evidence indicates that Polr/ is employed in somatic hypermutation at AT base pairs and certain hotspots (Rogozin et al., 2001 Zeng et al., 2001). An extended discussion of somatic hypermutation is given in Chapter 11 of this book. 

Regulation of Pol and RevIp and Interactions with Other Proteins 

In addition to regulation by means of PCNA modification, budding yeast cells possess what appears to be a reg ulatory cascade initiated by a

For future research in this field, in addition to physiological and biochemical approaches, genetic analysis will be essential in the establishment of causal relationships between the induction of a stress protein and the establishment of tolerance to the stress condition. In most cases it is not difficult to detect the induction of new proteins during stress. However, the induction of new proteins does not necessarily establish stress tolerance it may well be the consequence of damage caused by stress conditions. Thus, genetic mutants will be necessary to test the physiological role of a stress protein.

Three regulators were identified by genetic analysis. The main repressor, KdgR, controls the transcription of pectinase genes, the intracellular catabolic pathway and the secretion machinery. The PecS repressor controls the production of pectate lyases and cellulases, the secretion machinery and the biosynthesis of a blue pigment. PecT acts as a repressor of the production of some pectate lyases. Other proteins are involved in the regulation of pectinase s5mthesis but their role is not well characterized.

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is responsible for a world-wide epidemic with approximately 170 million people infected. It was identified only in the 1980s and since that time great efforts have been made in the search for treatments. Genetic analysis of the virus revealed coding for a serine protease (NS3) and the first clinical studies on inhibitors of the protease have recently been carried out. Chapter 2 presents a review of the medicinal chemistry approaches to this target.
