Plasmids cloned into ung − cells contain undetectable levels of uracil. (A) Experimental scheme used. (B) Gel of plasmids isolated from ung + cells transformed with a thymine containing insert (black – lanes 2, 5–8) or ung − cells transformed with dTTP (green – 3, 9–12) or dUTP (blue – 4, 13–16). The samples remained untreated (lanes 2–4) or were incubated with 0.5U of Ung (lanes 5–16). Controls for Ung digestion consist of SUMO1 cDNA amplicons containing uracil digested with Ung (lane 17) or left untreated (lane 18). MW = molecular weight markers (lanes 1, 19). The numbers above the lanes refer to the name of the clones tested.
