were
prepared on an Applied Biosystems Inc. 394 DNA synthesizer. Commercially
available DNA synthesis reagents were obtained from Glen Research
Inc. DNA substrates used in this study are presented in Chart
transferase, and T4 DNA ligase were obtained from New England Biolabs.
[α-32P]dCTP, [γ-32P]ATP, and [α-32P]cordycepin 5′-triphosphate were purchased from PerkinElmer.
Analysis of radiolabeled oligonucleotides was conducted using a Storm
840 phosphorimager and ImageQuant TL. UvrABC was obtained as previously
described.36 (link),37 (link) C18-Sep-Pak cartridges were obtained
from Waters. Experiments using radiolabeled oligonucleotides were
analyzed following PAGE using a Storm 840 phosphorimager and Imagequant
TL.
