Figure Legend Snippet: pIJ303 Δ spdA2 and pIJ303-sps do not accumulate single-stranded plasmid DNA . Approximately 10 6 protoplasts of S. lividans TK54 with respective plasmids were lysed in a 1% TA agarose gel containing 0.25% SDS (A) . Black arrows indicate chromosomal DNA, while the gray arrow marks ccc-DNA. The gel was either blotted in native state (B) to detect accumulation of single-stranded plasmid DNA, or denatured before blotting in order to detect also double-stranded plasmid DNA (C) . As a probe a 600 bp PCR-fragment corresponding to the dso of pIJ101 was used. Plasmid pIJ702, which lacks the sso , was used as a positive control for the accumulation of single-stranded plasmid DNA (white arrow). 1, pIJ303; 2, pIJ303-sps; 3, pIJ303Δ spdA2; 4, pIJ303spdA2c; 5, pIJ702; 6, plasmid free TK54.

The top panel provides details about the SNVs including rs numbers, positions relative to the numbering system on which the allele nomenclature is based (M33388) and the widely accepted CYP2D6*1 reference sequence AY545216, the nature of the SNV, and sequence context. The presence of the intron 1 conversion event is characterized by multiple SNPs (rs1080995, rs267608284, rs108996, rs74644586, rs75276289, rs28695233, rs149744965, rs56011157).

For general information, sequence differences to Genome Build GRCh37 that harbors a CYP2D6*2 , is shown. Lines *4A through *4N depict a graphical representation of the P450 Nomenclature Database 20 for these alleles. Note that *4A-K lacks any annotations for intronic regions. Sequence variations found in cases 1 and 21 that match with CYP2D6*4A and *4D are highlighted in red and blue, respectively. Intronic SNPs in the cases are shown in light red and blue as these are not represented in the nomenclature-defined variants. Cases were sequenced between the SNPs shown in yellow. The bottom panels provide location of SNV regarding to exon and intron and consequence of SNV.

Figure Legend Snippet: Integration of FRA16C-derived AT-DRS using an HPRT gene targeting system. ( A ) The original pHPRThyg vector (left) and the newly cloned pHPRThyg_FRA16C vector (right) were designed to allow HR and construct integration within the HPRT locus. ( B ) A scheme of the HPRT locus after the integration of the pHPRThyg (upper panel) or pHPRThyg_FRA16C (lower panel) vector. The positions of primer sets 4 (4L-4R), 5 (5L-5R) and 6 (6L-6R) are illustrated. Light blue represents genomic regions that are not present in the vector. (i) Genomic DNA, isolated from HT1080 cells integrated with the pHPRThyg_FRA16C vector, was subjected to a long PCR across the AT-DRS at its ectopic integration site (HPRT locus), using two sets of chromosome X specific primers (4L-4R and 5L-5R). The same two sets of primers were also used to amplify genomic DNA isolated from HT1080 non-manipulated cells and cells integrated with the pHPRThyg vector. The red boxes mark the expected 10.6 kb PCR products harboring the 3.4 kb AT-DRS. (ii) The 10.6 kb DNA fragment, generated in the PCR of the pHPRThyg_FRA16C integrated cells, was subjected to nested PCR, using chromosome 16 specific primers (6L-6R), flanking the 3.4 kb AT-DRS. The red box marks the expected 3.8 kb PCR product harboring the 3.4 kb AT-DRS. (iii) The length of the AT-DRS at its endogenous site within FRA16C on chromosome 16 was determined by PCR on genomic DNA isolated from non-manipulated HT1080, using chromosome 16 specific primers (6L-6R). The red box marks a 3.2 kb PCR product suggesting that the AT-DRS in the endogenous FRA16C region is ∼2.8 kb. ( C ) Whole genome DNA replication rate analysis was performed by DNA combing, under normal or replication stress (0.1 μM aphidicolin) conditions. The distribution of replication fork rates in the non-manipulated and integrated HT1080 cells (pHPRThyg and pHPRThyg_FRA16C) is shown. The results are from three independent experiments. The median of each group is shown in red. The average fork rate of each group ±SE and the number of measurements (n) are indicated. Under normal growth conditions (-aphidicolin) the replication rate in the non-manipulated cells was not significantly different from the rate in the cells integrated with the pHPRThyg ( P = 0.89) or with pHPRT_FRA16C ( P = 0.72). There is also no significant difference between the replication rates in the pHPRThyg-integrated cells and the pHPRT_FRA16C-integrated cells ( P = 0.07). Aphidicolin treatment led to a significant reduction in the mean rate in all clones (**** P

Figure Legend Snippet: Electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrating binding of SpdA2-His to the palindromic sequence motif sps . Different PCR fragments, as schematically illustrated, were incubated with ~2 pmol purified SpdA2-His protein (+) or without SpdA2-His (−), run on a 6% Tris-acetate polyacrylamide gel and stained with EtBr. The gray arrow indicates the band corresponding to a PCR fragment (FTraR pSVH1 ) added as a negative control for binding specificity. Black arrows mark retarded DNA fragments. Interaction of SpdA2-His with the FA2 fragment resulted in several retarded bands (A) . Whereas SpdA2-His did not interact with the FA2-sps fragment (B) , SpdA2-His shifted fragment F1sps, containing a single palindromic sps sequence (C) .

Lines *4A through *4N depict a graphical representation of the P450 Nomenclature Database 20 for these alleles. Note that *4A-K lacks any annotations for intronic regions. Sequence variations found in cases 1 and 21 that match with CYP2D6*4A and *4D are highlighted in red and blue, respectively. Intronic SNPs in the cases are shown in light red and blue as these are not represented in the nomenclature-defined variants. Cases were sequenced between the SNPs shown in yellow. The bottom panels provide location of SNV regarding to exon and intron and consequence of SNV.
Techniques Used: Sequencing

Figure Legend Snippet: Sequence Comparison of CYP2D6 variants, CYP2D7 and CYP2D8 . Each line represents the nucleotide sequence for a given gene or genetic variant. The key CYP2D6*17 SNP is highlighted by a black background and designated by an asterisk *. The tentatively interfering SNP trio is also indicated in the top panel by a black background; differing positions are highlighted ( CYP2D6*4A, B, C, F, G, H, J and M have the SNP trio, while *4C, D, E and K do not) *2E and *4L contain only the SNP at position 997. Light grey boxes emphasize differences between CYP2D6, 2D7 and 2D8 . Regions targeted for PCR primer and probe binding are shown in bold red type and plain green type, respectively. The red arrows above red letters denote the primer binding sites for the original (C__2222771_40) TaqMan assay while blue arrows indicate the primer sequences utilized for the CMH custom-made TaqMan assays. The probe binding site for the latter is shown by green letters.
Techniques Used: Sequencing, Variant Assay, Polymerase Chain Reaction, Binding Assay, TaqMan Assay

Figure Legend Snippet: Real-time amplification for the original and alternate CYP2D6*17 TaqMan assays. Fluorescent signals detected for individuals with CYP2D6*4/*4 and CYP2D6*1/*1 genotypes. (Panels A and C) represents the original TaqMan assay (C__222771_40), (panels B and D) the alternate assay C__2222771_A0). The green curves indicate amplification from the ‘C’ allele (wild-type/reference, 1023C or CYP2D6*17 ) while the green curve represents the ‘T’ allele (variant, 1023 T, CYP2D6*17 or other variant haplotype containing this SNP).
Techniques Used: Amplification, TaqMan Assay, Variant Assay
