Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Restriction map of the probe used for 2D analysis. The restriction sites for NheI (N) and the position of probe 1 are indicated. (B) 2D agarose gel electrophoresis. Genomic DNA from the indicated strains was digested with NheI and separated according to size in the first dimension and according to size and shape in the second dimension, followed by Southern blotting with the probe, as indicated in (A). The diagrams on the left and right show the expected migration patterns of different replications of the FOB1 and fob1 strains, respectively. 1N represents linear DNA, and 2N represents linear DNA that was nearly fully replicated. X structures that include recombination intermediates are indicated in pink. (C–F) Quantitation of DNA replication and recombination intermediates. The frequencies of bubbles, arcs (C), arrested forks (D), X structures in the FOB1 background (E) and X structures in the fob1 background (F) were determined by quantifying the signal of each intermediate relative to the total number of replication intermediates. The levels of different molecules in each mutant were normalized to the average of the WT clones (C-E) and fob1 clones (F). Bars indicate the range of two independent experiments.
Article Snippet: Second-dimensional electrophoresis was performed on a subcell GT electrophoresis system (Bio-Rad) in 1.5 L of 1× TBE containing 0.3 μg/mL EtBr at 6.0 V/cm for 6 h at 4°C with buffer circulation.
