Deuterium analysis of ice core GISP2

The Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) core can enhance our understanding of the relationship between parameters measured in the ice in central Greenland and variability in the ocean, atmosphere, and cryosphere of the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent land masses. Seasonal (summer, winter) to annual responses of dD and deuterium excess isotopic signals in the GISP2 core to the seesaw in winter temperatures between West Greenland and northern Europe from A.D. 1840 to 1970 are investigated. This seesaw represents extreme modes of the North Atlantic Oscillation, which also influences sea surface temperatures (SSTs), atmospheric pressures, geostrophic wind strength, and sea ice extents beyond the winter season. Temperature excursions inferred from the dD record during seesaw/extreme NAO mode years move in the same direction as the West Greenland side of the seesaw. Symmetry with the West Greenland side of the seesaw suggests a possible mechanism for damping in the ice core record of the lowest decadal temperatures experienced in Europe from A.D. 1500 to 1700. Seasonal and annual deuterium excess excursions during seesaw years show negative correlation with dD. This suggests an isotopic response to a SST/ land temperature seesaw. The isotopic record from GISP2 may therefore give information on both ice sheet and sea surface temperature variability. Cross-plots of dD and d show a tendency for data to be grouped according to the prevailing mode of the seesaw, but do not provide unambiguous identification of individual seesaw years. A combination of ice core and tree ring data sets may allow more confident identification of GA and GB (extreme NAO mode) years prior to 1840.

Comparison of the 5′ nuclease activities of Taq DNA polymerase and its isolated nuclease domain

Many eubacterial DNA polymerases are bifunctional molecules having both polymerization (P) and 5′ nuclease (N) activities, which are contained in separable domains. We previously showed that the DNA polymerase I of Thermus aquaticus (TaqNP) endonucleolytically cleaves DNA substrates, releasing unpaired 5′ arms of bifurcated duplexes. Here, we compare the substrate specificities of TaqNP and the isolated 5′ nuclease domain of this enzyme, TaqN. Both enzymes are significantly activated by primer oligonucleotides that are hybridized to the 3′ arm of the bifurcation; optimal stimulation requires overlap of the 3′ terminal nucleotide of the primer with the terminal base pair of the duplex, but the terminal nucleotide need not hybridize to the complementary strand in the substrate. In the presence of Mn2+ ions, TaqN can cleave both RNA and circular DNA at structural bifurcations. Certain anti-TaqNP mAbs block cleavage by one or both enzymes, whereas others can stimulate cleavage of nonoptimal substrates.
