Chromosomal replication is an essential process in all life. This dissertation highlights regulatory roles for two critical protein complexes at the heart of the replication fork: 1) the sliding clamp, the major polymerase processivity factor, and 2) the sliding clamp loader, a spiral-shaped AAA+ ATPase, which loads the clamp onto DNA. The clamp is a promiscuous binding protein that interacts with at least 100 binding partners to orchestrate many processes on DNA, but spatiotemporal regulation of these binding interactions is unknown. Remarkably, a recent disease-causing mutant of the sliding clamp showed specific defects in DNA repair pathways. We aimed to use this mutant as a tool to understand the binding specificity of clamp interactions, and investigate the disease further. We solved three structures of the mutant, and biochemically showed perturbation of partnerbinding for some, but not all, ligands. Using a fission yeast model, we showed that mutant cells are sensitive to select DNA damaging agents. These data revealed significant flexibility within the binding site, which likely regulates partner binding. Before the clamp can act on DNA, the sliding clamp loader places the clamp onto DNA at primer/template (p/t) junctions. The clamp loader reaction couples p/t binding and subsequent ATP hydrolysis to clamp closure. Here we show that composition (RNA vs. DNA) of the primer strand affects clamp loader binding, and that the order of ATP hydrolysis around the spiral is likely sequential. These studies highlight additional details into the clamp loader mechanism, which further elucidate general mechanisms of AAA+ machinery.

Flera olika arter av mjölksyrabakterier som ingår i släktena Lactobacillus och Bifidobacterium har hittats hos bin och i deras honung. Idag finns ingen effektiv metod för identifiering av bakterierna. Syftet med detta projekt är att utveckla en metod för snabb identifiering genom att hitta lämpliga primers till olika mjölksyrabakterier och därmed få fram en Polymeraskedjereaktion (PCR) metod. Ribosomal ribonukleinsyra (rRNA) generna eller 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region (ISR) används ofta vid design av primers, som därefter används i PCR för att identifiera olika bakterier. Deoxiribonukleinsyra (DNA) visualiseras i agarosgelen med hjälp av SYBRgreen I som fluorescens på ultraviolett (UV)-ljusbord. I detta projekt har 16S rRNA och 16S-23S rRNA ISR amplifierats i enkel PCR och multiplex PCR och visualiserats i agarosgel i försök att identifiera mjölksyrabakterierna. 16S rRNA har visat sig ha mycket liten variation mellan bakterierna och ansågs därför inte lämplig att använda för identifiering av närbesläktade arter. 16S-23S rRNA ISR visade större variation, fram för allt mellan lactobacillerna och bifidobakterierna. Gruppering av bakterierna med hjälp av multiplex PCR gjordes med viss framgång, med undantag av några bakterier som inte hamnade i den förväntade gruppen. Dock behövs fler försök för att stödja dessa resultat. / Several different lactic acid bacterium (LAB) species from the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium was discovered in bees and in their honey. Today there is no rapid and reliable method to identify these LAB. Therefore a rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to identify the LAB is needed. The aim of this project is to find primers suitable for the different LAB. Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes or 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region (ISR) are often used to designing of primers followed by PCR assays, for identification of different bacteria. To visualize deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in agarose gels, SYBRgreen I was used as fluorescence and then viewed under ultraviolet (UV) light. In this project the 16S rRNA and 16S-23S rRNA ISR was used as a target in a PCR and a multiplex PCR amplification. The PCR product was analyzed in agarose gel in an attempt to identify the LAB. 16S rRNA sequence have to little variation and is not suitable to identify closely related species. 16S-23S rRNA ISR sequence exhibits greater variations, especially between Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Differentiation of the bacteria into groups by multiplex PCR was done with good result, except for some of the bacteria that did not end up in the expected group. More studys is needed to support these results.

The aim of this study was to design and optimize new PCR primers for detection of potential cyanobacterial producers of cytotoxic lipopeptides puwainaphycins and minutissamides in environmental samples. Samples from two distinct localities were tested, as suggested based on preliminary data. The first set of samples consisted of cyanobacterial soil biofilms from sheep pastures affected by Alveld illness in Norway. The other one contained samples of planktic cyanobacaterial blooms from Protected Landscape Area Třeboň and its vicinity. Three different approaches were used for evaluation of the presence of cyanobacterial lipopeptide producers: microscopy, PCR with the designed primeres, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Results of this study confirmed the specificity of the newly designed PCR primers. The presence of producers of puwainaphycins/minutissamides was proven at both tested localities.

Xanthomonas citri subsp. malvacearum é o agente causal da mancha angular do algodoeiro, uma importante doença reportada em áreas de produção no Brasil e em todo o mundo. A partir da análise comparativa de sequências parciais do gene rpoB de linhagens de X. citri subsp. malvacearum, X. campestris pv. campestris, X. axonopodis pv. axonopodis e X. citri subsp. citri, desenhou-se o par de primers xam1R/2R. Foram testadas 19 espécies pertencentes ao gênero Xanthomonas, além de bactérias dos gêneros Acidovorax, Burkholderia, Erwinia, Pseudomonas e Ralstonia, e o produto de PCR específico de aproximadamente 560 pares de bases foi observado apenas para linhagens de X. citri subsp. malvacearum. Os primers desenhados mostraram-se altamente sensíveis, apresentando níveis de detecção de 8 ufc/ 5,0 L para suspensões da cultura pura da bactéria e 1,0 ng de DNA genômico de X. citri subsp. malvacearum. No isolamento, a partir de amostras de sementes sabidamente contaminadas, foram obtidas colônias bacterianas com características de morfologia e coloração semelhantes à X. citri subsp. malvacearum. Esses isolados foram submetidos a testes de coloração de Gram, hidrólise de amido, reação de hipersensibilidade (HR) em folhas de fumo e tomateiro, testes de patogenicidade em plantas de algodoeiro, amplificação com os primers específicos desenhados e sequenciamento do fragmento obtido e os resultados obtidos confirmaram a identificação dos mesmos como X. citri subsp. malvacearum. Experimentos combinados de BIO-PCR/nested-PCR foram realizados a partir do material obtido do processo de extração do patógeno das sementes contaminadas utilizando-se na primeira etapa de amplificação os primers correspondentes à parte do gene rpoB e na segunda etapa o produto da primeira amplificação e os primers específicos xam1F/2R. O resultado foi a observação de uma banda de aproximadamente 560 pb correspondente ao fragmento específico de X. citri subsp. malvacearum para todas as amostras testadas. Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido um teste de PCR específico para a detecção e identificação rápida e precisa dessa bactéria em amostras de sementes de algodoeiro. / Xanthomonas citri subsp. malvacearum is the causal agent of angular leaf spot of cotton an important disease reported in production areas in Brazil and worldwide. From the comparative analysis of partial rpoB gene sequences of X. citri subsp. malvacearum, X. campestris pv. campestris, X. axonopodis pv. axonopodis and X. citri subsp. citri strains, the pair of primers xam1F/2R was designed. Nineteen species of the genus Xanthomonas and isolates of the genera Acidovorax, Burkholderia, Erwinia, Pseudomonas and Ralstonia were tested and the specific PCR product of about 560 base pairs was observed only for strains of X. citri subsp. malvacearum. The primers were highly sensitive, with detection levels of 8 cfu/ 5.0 L for suspensions of pure culture of bacteria and 1.0 ng of genomic DNA of X. citri subsp. malvacearum. From contaminated seed samples, bacterial colonies were obtained with characteristic morphology and coloration similar to X. citri subsp. malvacearum. These isolates were tested for Gram stain, starch hydrolysis, hypersensitivity reaction (HR) on tobacco and tomato leaves, pathogenicity tests on cotton plants, amplification with the specific primers designed and sequencing of the fragment obtained. The results confirmed their identification as X. citri subsp. malvacearum. PCR experiments in combination of BIOPCR/ nested-PCR were performed with the material obtained from the extraction process of pathogen from seeds using in the first step of amplification primers corresponding to part of the rpoB gene and the second step the product of the first amplification and the specific primers xam1F/2R. The result was a band of approximately 560 bp corresponding to the specific fragment of X. citri subsp. malvacearum for all samples tested. In this work, a PCR test for the quick detection and accurate identification of this bacterium in seed samples of cotton were developed.

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo identificar fragmentos homólogos a genes de resistência em Brassica oleracea e Zea mays, por meio da amplificação por PCR, utilizando oligonucleotídeos homólogos a regiões conservadas de genes de resistência de plantas. Em B. oleracea, os oligonucleotídeos foram desenhados com base na seqüência de um gene homólogo ao RPS2 de Arabidopsis thaliana descrito em B. oleracea. Um fragmento de 2,5 Kb foi amplificado em duas linhagens. Os fragmentos amplificados apresentaram polimorfismo de comprimento entre as linhagens, gerando um marcador molecular. Este marcador foi utilizado em uma população F2 segregante para resistência a Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris oriunda do cruzamento entre as linhagens BI-16 e Lc201. O marcador, no entanto, não apresentou-se ligado a nenhum gene de resistência a este patógeno. Análise da expressão por meio de RT-PCR detectou a expressão do fragmento homólogo nas linhagens resistente e suscetível de B. oleracea com e sem inoculação, indicando que o gene é expresso constitutivamente. Em Z. mays, oligonucleotídeos sintetizados com base em seqüências de milho homólogas a genes de resistência, denominadas Pics, e a ESTs de milho, também homólogos a genes de resistência, foram utilizados para amplificação em linhagens resistente e suscetível a Exserohilum turcicum, Colletotrichum graminicola e Phaeosphaeria maydis. Um par de oligonucleotídeos amplificou um fragmento polimórfico entre as linhagens resistente e suscetível a E. turcicum. Este foi utilizado em uma população segregante, mas também não observou-se ligação com o gene Ht de resistência a E. turcicum. Nas demais linhagens, os fragmentos foram monomórficos. Os oligonucleotídeos baseados em ESTs amplificaram fragmentos em todas as linhagens parentais. Esses fragmentos foram digeridos com enzimas de restrição, mas não apresentaram polimorfismo entre nenhuma das linhagens. Os resultados indicaram que a estratégia de utilização de seqüências conservadas é eficiente para amplificação de genes homólogos. O polimorfismo entre estes homólogos pode ser usado como marcador molecular para detecção de genes de interesse. Todavia, nem sempre estes marcadores estão ligados a esses genes. / The aim of this work was to identify homologs of resistance genes in Brassica oleracea and Zea mays by PCR amplification using primers based on conserved domains of plant resistance genes. In B. oleracea, the primers were based on the sequence of a homolog of the Arabidopsis thaliana RPS2 gene previously described in B. oleracea. A 2.5 Kb fragment was amplified on two lines. These fragments showed length polymorphisms between lines, based on which a molecular marker was developed. This marker was used in a F2 population, derived from the crossing between the inbred lines BI-16 and Lc201, and which segregates to resistance to Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. The marker, however, was not linked to any Xcc resistance gene. Expression analyses by RT-PCR detected the expression of these homologs on both resistant and susceptible lines with and without inoculation, indicating that the gene is constitutively expressed. In Z. mays, primers based on resistance gene homologs sequences, named Pics, and on maize ESTs homologous to disease resistance genes, were used to amplify genomic fragments on resistant and susceptible lines to Exserohilum turcicum, Colletotrichum graminicola and Phaeosphaeria maydis. A set of primers amplified a polymorphic fragment between lines resistant and susceptible to E. turcicum. This fragment was used in a segregating population, but no linkage was detected between this marker and the E. turcicum resistance gene Ht. Among the other lines, the fragments were not polymorphic. The primers based on ESTs amplified fragments on all parental lines. These fragments were digested with restriction enzymes but did not reveal any polymorphism between lines. The results indicated that the strategy of using conserved sequences is efficient to amplify disease resistance gene homologs. The polymorphism among these homologs may be used as a molecular marker, but these markers are not always linked to disease resistance genes.

<p>Heterotrophic microorganisms are important for the flow of carbon and nutrients in the sea. Bacteria, nanoflagellates and ciliates are relevant components of the pelagic food web. In order to be able to predict the outcome of e.g. eutrophication or climate change we need to know how the different components of the pelagic food web are regulated. With the focus on the northern Baltic Sea food web, this thesis deals with limitation and control of heterotrophic protists, the effect of resource heterogeneity on food web efficiency and diversity of nanoflagellates.</p><p>In-situ microcosm experiments showed that the net growth of heterotrophic flagellates were resource limited throughout the year. Field data confirmed that the abundance of flagellates was bottom-up controlled. Furthermore, field data also showed that the annual average biomass of protists, flagellates and ciliates increased with primary productivity. On a smaller seasonal scale temperature and bacterial biomass were able to explain most of the variation in flagellate biovolume. The temporal variation in ciliate biovolume could not be explained by any bottom-up factors like bacterial biomass, flagellate biomass or chlorophyll a. This and an in-situ microcosm experiment implied that the seasonal dynamics of ciliates were more regulated by predators like mesozooplankton.</p><p>The food web efficiency i.e. how much of production at the resource level is converted to production at the top trophic level, may be affected by specific size or type of resource. Indoor mesocosms revealed that the food web efficiency was 11 times lower when heterotrophic bacteria dominated basal production instead of nano- and micro-sized phytoplankton. This was due to a lengthening of the food web when pico-sized bacteria constituted the main resource.</p><p>The PCR-DGGE molecular biological method was used to study the diversity of heterotrophic or mixotrophic chrysomonads. The focus was set on chrysomonads due to their relatively large contribution to the nanoflagellate community. Group-specific PCR primers were optimized for the target group. A field survey in the northern Baltic Sea showed that a handful of chrysomonad sequences were present throughout the year. Significantly more chrysomonads were recorded in the basin with higher primary productive and salinity. In total 15-16 different chrysomonad sequences were recorded. Most of them matched uncultured chrysomonad clones.</p>

Neuere Erzeugnisse zeichnen sich häufig durch eine Werkstoffvielfalt aus. Teilweise sind die Werkstoffe thermisch empfindlich. Aus allen diesen Gründen wird das weitgehend werkstoffunspezifische und wärmearme Verfahren Kleben für das Fügen von Bauteilstrukturen immer wichtiger. Es ist seit langem bekannt, dass die Festigkeit und vor allem die Alterungsbeständigkeit der Klebverbindungen neben der Art des gewählten Klebstoffes in ganz wesentlichem Umfang von den physikalischen, chemischen und morphologischen Eigenschaften der Fügeteiloberflächen abhängig ist. Die Eigenschaft der Klebverbindung wird nicht vorrangig durch die Haftung an der Fügeoberfläche, sondern durch den grenzflächennahen Polymerbereich, der so genannten Interphase oder Grenzschicht bestimmt. Ziel dieser Forschung ist daher die Untersuchung von Grenzflächenphänomenen des Verbundes Aluminium/ Epoxid-Klebstoff im µm-Bereich in Abhängigkeit von unterschiedlich vorbehandelten Aluminiumoberflächen unter Einschluss von Haftvermittlersauftrag durch thermoanalytische, spektroskopische, mikroskopische und elektrochemische Methoden, sowie die Korrelation der Ergebnisse mit den Festigkeiten und Langzeitbeständigkeiten der Klebverbindungen. Die in der Arbeit gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und erzielten Ergebnisse können in der Fügetechnik betriebswirtschaftlich sehr vorteilhaft zur Behandlung von Fügeteilen aus Aluminiumlegierungen angewendet werden.
