Cells from a goose embryo were shown to release particle-associated RNA-directed DNA polymerase and RNase H activities that required the presence of Nonidet P-40 for detection. The particles were not infectious and did not have endogenous DNA synthesis. The goose particle DNA polymerase was related to the DNA polymerase of spleen necrosis virus with respect to size and was inhibited by immunoglobulin G to spleen necrosis virus DNA polymerase. However, goose cells producing DNA polymerase-containing particles did not contain reticuloendotheliosis virus-related nucleotide sequences in their DNA.

RNA-directed DNA polymerase was purified from spleens of Balb/c and NMRI mice infected with Rauscher murine leukemia virus. The method includes cell fractionation and lysis of microsomal fraction, chromtography on Sephadex G-200 and phosphocellulose. Estimation of molecular weight from the sedimentation rate of the purified enzyme in a glycerol gradient was consistent with a structure containing one polypeptide with a molecular weight of 70,000. Purified RLV DNA polymerase from spleen could transcribe purified DNA polymerase from purified virions. This simple preparation method offers a procedure for large scale preparation of the RNA-directed DNA polymerase which can be used for synthesis of DNA complementary to mRNA.

An RNA-directed DNA polymerase was purified from a cell line derived from a radiation-induced lymphoma in NIH Swiss mice which produced non-infectious type C virus particles. The enzyme was isolated from a high speed particulate fraction which bands at a density of 1.16--1.19 g/ml in a sucrose gradient, and purified by successive chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose and hydroxyapatite. The purified DNA polymerase has a molecular weight of 68 000, a pH optimum of 7.5, a KCl optimum of 50 mM, and a Mn2+ optimum of 0.25 mM. It prefers (dT)15 . (A)n to (dT)15 . (dA)n as the primer template and transcribes the poly(C) strand of (dG)15 .(C)n and (dG)15 . (OMeC)n. It transcribes heteropolymeric regions of avian myeloblastosis virus 70 S RNA, and is inhibited by antiserum to Rauscher murine leukemia virus DNA polymerase. Comparison of the properties of DNA polymerase purified from radiation-induced lymphoma cells with the DNA polymerase purified from non-defective murine type C RNA tumor viruses shows that the mouse lymphoma enzyme is both biochemically and immunologically related to murine leukemia virus DNA polymerases.

RNA-directed DNA polymerase was isolated from the liver, spleen, and myeloblasts of chickens that had been infected with virus of avian myeloblastosis. The enzyme was chromatographically purified from the myeloblasts and brought to about 1,000-fold concentration. The method consisted in cell fractionation, lysis of the microsomal fraction, chromatography on Sephadex G-200 and phosphocellulose, as well as ultracentrifugation in the glycerol gradient. The cellular DNA polymerases alpha and beta were clearly separated from the DNA polymerase of avian myeloblastosis virus and could be distinguished from one another by template-specific reactions. The viral DNA polymerase activities in the microsomal fractions of liver, spleen, and myeloblasts were compared with one another. The amount of avian myeloblastosis virus and related DNA polymerase recorded from the myeloblasts was about six times that in the liver and four times higher than that in the spleen. The procedure described, together with the use of cell fractionation and gel filtration, is an appropriate method for biochemical detection of avian oncorna viruses in cells.

Cultured synovial cells from 8 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 7 subjects without joint disease were assayed and comapred for RNA-directed and DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. No activity was found in either RA or control specimens using a synthetic RNA template that specificically detects oncornavirus RNA-directed DNA polymerase. The DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity of RA specimens was increased (P less than 0.10) in the high-speed pellet fraction of cell lysates. The possible relationship of these finding to virus infection in RA is disscussed.

Analyses of the DNA polymerase present in the inner mitochondrial membrane and matrix fraction of the mitochondria isolated from Rous sarcoma cells and chick embryo cells, and in the lysate of Rous sarcoma virus were performed, using a modification of the thin-layer gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 superfine. The method allowed the simultaneous determination of the molecular weight of the isolated enzymes. In the mitochondria or Rous sarcoma cells an RNA-directed DNA polymerase, activated by poly(rA): oligo (dT) synthetic duplex, was detected, with the same molecular weight as the reverse transcriptase isolated from Rous sarcoma virus. Such enzyme was not found in the mitochondria of chick embryo cells.

An RNA-directed DNA polymerase was purified from baboon endogenous type-C virus by successive column chromatography on DEAE cellulose, phosphocellulose and hydroxyapatite. The purified DNA polymerase has a molecular weight of 68 000, a pH optimum of 8.0, a Mn2+ optimum of 1 mM, and a KCl optimum of 40 mM. The purified enzyme transcribes heteropolymeric regions of viral 60--70 S RNA isolated from different type-C viruses. The purified enzyme is immunologically related to a similarly purified polymerase from the cat endogenous type-C virus RD114.

An RNA-directed DNA polymerase was purified from bovine leukemia virus (BLV) by successive glycerol gradient centrifugation, column chromatography on phosphocellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The purified DNA polymerase transcribes heteropolymeric regions of 30--40 S RNA isolated from avian myeloblastosis virus. The enzyme differs from other known DNA polymerases of mammalian type-C RNA tumor viruses by the following properties: 1. Its apparent molecular weight as estimated by velocity sedimentation data is 58,000 at 0.12 M KCl and 43,000 in the presence of 0.50 M KCl. 2. It has a Mg2+ optimum of 10 mM, and a Mn2+ optimum of 0.25 mM with (rA)n-(dT)10 as template. 3. At 50 mM KCl it is inhibited more than 70%, but it is not inhibited by phosphate ions at 2 mM. These properties confirm the peculiar position of BLV within the family Retraviridae.

Mitochondrial DNA polymerase was purified 2300-fold over isolated mitochondria from rat liver. Template-primer specificities of this enzyme were investigated. Activated DNA was satisfactorily used as an active template-primer, but both native and denatured DNAs showed a slight activity. Synthetic polynucleotide, poly(dA) - oligo(dT)10 was found to have a high efficiency under the same condition for activated DNA. When the closed-circular, nicked and gapped Co1E1 DNAs were employed as a template-primer, the enzyme could only utilize the gapped DNA, indicating that the displacement synthesis was not catalyzed by the enzyme itself. The enzyme also copied poly(A) - oligo(dT)10 in high efficiency at pH 7.5 in the presence of MnCl2. Such RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity of the enzyme was further characterized. Cofractionated endouclease activity was completely separated from the enzyme by glycerol gradient centrifugation.

The influence of 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (ara-A) and its 5'-triphosphate derivative on programmed synthesis was tested with an intact cell system as well as with isolated enzyme systems. The effect of ara-A was tested in mouse lymphoma cells (L5178Y). The compound reduces cell proliferation in low concentration by cytostasis; under high ara-A concentration of radioactive precursors into DNA, RNA, and protein showed that ara-A selectively inhibits DNA synthesis. Formation of a polysome complex is not affected by ara-A. [3H]ara-A is incorporated into DNA in an intact cell system; 1 molecule of ara-A is incorporated per 8000 molecules of deoxyadenosine. Most of the ara-A molecules appeared to be in internucleotide linkages. Incorporation of ara-A into RNA could not be detected. 9-BETA-D-Arabinofuranosyladenine 5'-triphosphate (ara-ATP) does not reduce the incorporation rate of the following enzymes, isolated from quail oviducts: DNA-dependent RNA polymerases I and II, polyadenylic acid polymerase, and poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase. The compound was found to inhibit DNA synthesis catalyzed by DNA polymerases isolated from quail oviducts and from oncogenic RNA viruses (Rous sarcoma viruses). All the enzymes tested were inhibited by ara-ATP in a competitive way with respect to deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate. The highest affinity of ara-ATP, i.e., the highest inhibitory potency of the drug, was found in the assays with the eukaryotic low-molecular DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. The influence on the eukaryotic high-molecular DNA-dependent Dna polymerase was a litte less. Compared to the eukaryotic DNA polymerases, the viral enzymes (RNA-directed DNA polymerase and DNA-directed DNA polymerase) are affected to a smaller extent by ara-ATP. No effects of ara-A and ara-ATP are observed in a protein-synthesizing, cell-free system isolated from L5178Y cells.
