pHOT1 DNA: a high affinity topo I cleavage substrate.
The plasmid pHOT1 contains the high affinity topo I cleavage site (the hexadecameric sequence described by Westergaard and co-workers, see Bonven et al., 1985) that is derived from the tetrahymena ribosomal gene repeat. This construct is useful as a topo I cleavage substrate since the enzyme efficiently cleaves at the hexadecameric site in the absence of camptothecin. This allows the investigator to rigorously evaluate new potential topo I inhibitors because a single background cleavage is a built-in control; if the agent stimulates cleavage at this and/or any other sequence in the fragment that contains the hexadecameric site, prominent cutting is readily revealed. Typically, it is difficult to trap topo I cleavages on DNA; one must use more enzyme since cleavage complexes consume the enzyme stoichiometrically. For this reason, higher levels of enzyme are required for analysis of DNA cleavages. The fragment can be isolated from the polylinker using the sites shown below (protocols in Maniatis cloning book), end labeled and used as a cleavage substrate.
Shipping/Storage Conditions:
DNA is shipped at ambient temperature and should be stored at 4 C.
