RESUMO
The DNase I (EC 3.1.21.1) sensitivities of the simian virus 40 (SV40) genome, the pBR322 genome, and the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 tk) gene have been compared in teratocarcinoma-derived stem (12-1) and differentiated (12-1a) cell lines established by transfection of thymidine kinase (ATP:thymidine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.21)-deficient F9 cells with DNA from a tripartite plasmid genome consisting of the pBR322 genome, the SV40 genome, and the HSV-1 tk gene. HSV-1 tk is present in both stem and differentiated cells; SV40 early proteins are present in differentiated cells but not in stem cells; the pBR322 genome is not expressed in either cell type. The SV40 and pBR322 genomes are more sensitive to DNase I digestion in stem cells than in differentiated cells, reflecting the DNase I-hypersensitivity of total stem-cell chromatin. The HSV-1 tk gene is the least sensitive to DNase I digestion in both cell types.
