DNA polymerase activity increases in full-grown oocytes of Xenopus laevis during in vitro progesterone-induced maturation. This increase is inhibited by cycloheximide. The presence of the oocyte's nucleus (germinal vesicle) seems essential for the induction of this increase: in previously enucleated oocytes, the level of DNA polymerase activity does not change during progesterone treatment. Furthermore, a new form of DNA polymerase is detectable by DEAE chromatography in in vitro matured oocytes.

DNA polymerase activities in uninfected KB cells or KB cells infected with adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) were compared by chromatography on DNA-cellulose and DEAE-cellulose and by isoelectric focusing. On DNA cellulose three components were found both in infected and in uninfected cells. The major component eluted at 0.15 M NaC1 and contained DNA polymerase alpha. Two minor components were found, one which did not bind to DNA-cellulose and one which bound strongly. This latter component contained DNA polymerase beta as characterized by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and sedimentation studies. No difference in properties between uninfected or Ad5-infected KB cells was found for the beta-polymerase. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of DNA polymerase alpha revealed the presence of two activities eluting at 0.11 and 0.13 M NaC1 designates as alphaI and alphaII, respectively. In Ad5-infected cells alphaII was the major component. In uninfected, stationary cells alphaI was the major component and alphaII was only detectable as a shoulder in the elution profile. However, fast growing, uninfected cells gave a similar pattern as Ad5-infected cells. These results indicate that the observed change of the DNA polymerase pattern after infection with Ad5 is related to the level of DNA synthesis and not to the induction of a viral enzyme.

A DNA polymerising complex directed by endogenous DNA has been partially purified from 11-day-old embryonic chick brain microsomes by DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose column chromatography. The active fractions are eluted together with an exogenous DNA-directed DNA polymerase; after Sephadex gel filtration, the endogenous activity remains associated with a high molecular weight DNA-directed DNA polymerase. The endogenous activity of the complex has been shown to be RNase-resistant and actinomycin-sensitive. It requires potassium, an ATP-regenerating system and all four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates for full activity. The significance of this activity with regard to the protovirus hypothesis is discussed.

The activities of DNA polymerases alpha, beta, and gamma were determined in control and repair-deficient human fibroblasts (xeroderma pigmentosum complementation groups A, C, and D; Fanconi's Anemia; and Bloom's syndrome). Assays were done on 103,000XG supernatants which had been chromatographed on DEAE cellulose to remove nucleic acids and on fractions containing polymerase activities which had been separated from one another on a second DEAE cellulose column. All repair-deficient cell types contained all three DNA polymerase activities. Caffeine, which has been observed to inhibit some DNA-repair processes in intact cells, had no effect on DNA polymerase activities from XP-A, XP-C, XP-D or XP-variant cells. These data indicate that all three polymerases are present in cells which have reduced or absent repair functions and that the caffeine effects observed in living cells are probably not due to the direct action of caffeine on DNA polymerases.

Commercial preparations of guanosine 5'-triphosphate and deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate are contaminated with oligoribonucleotides 4 to 6 residues in length. The oligoribonucleotides can be separated from the nucleoside 5'-triphosphates by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-25 or by gel filtration through Sephadex G-25. The oligoribonucleotides are effective primers for the DNA polymerase of bacteriophage T7 on the single-stranded circular DNAs of phage fd and phiX174; they are covalently attached to the 5' terminus of the newly synthesized DNA. The priming activity is specific; the oligoribonucleotides do not serve as primers for DNA polymerase I of Escherichia coli or for the DNA polymerase induced by phage T4.

A new species of DNA polymerase has been purified more than 10 000-fold from the cytoplasm of erythroid hyperplastic bone marrow. This DNA polymerase, in contrast to previously described eukaryotic DNA polymerases, is associated with a very active 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. Similar to the 3' to 5' exonuclease activity associated with prokaryotic DNA polymerases, this enzyme catalyzes the removal of 3'-terminal nucleotides from DNA, as well as a template-dependent conversion of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates to monophosphates. The exonuclease activity is not separable from the DNA polymerase activity by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex or hydroxylapatite, and upon sucrose density gradient centrifugation the two activities cosediment at 7 S or at 11 S depending on the ionic strength. Both exonuclease and polymerase activities have identical rates of heat inactivation and both are equally sensitive to hemin and Rifamycin AF/013, inhibitors of DNA synthesis that act by binding to DNA polymerase and causing its dissociation from its template/primer. These results are consistent with the coexistence of two enzyme activities in a single protein.

We have isolated a nuclear membrane fraction from KB cells infected with human adenovirus 2 that synthesizes exclusively small viral DNA chains (approx. 9 S) in vitro (Yamashita, T., Arens, M. and Green, M. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 3273-3279). The DNA polymerase activity present in the adenovirus 2 DNA-nuclear membrane complex was purified through chromatography on phosphocellulose and DEAE-cellulose, glycerol gradient centrifuation and DNA-cellulose chromatography. A single peak of enzymatic activity sedimented in glycerol gradients at about 6.7 S which corresponds to a molecular weight of 125000. The enzyme preparation in the step of glycerol gradient centrifugation utilized activated calf thymus, KB cell and adenovirus 2 DNA as template-primer in the presence of Mg2+; Km values for these DNAs were 5.5, 4.0, and 0.8 mug/ml, respectively. The partially purified enzyme preparation was characterized by several criteria which were compared to the properties of the three major mammalian DNA polymerases, alpha, beta, and psi. On the basis of template-primer preference, effect of salt, inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide and Km for dTTP, the DNA polymerase activity from the membrane complex can be distinguished from the alpha and beta DNA polymerases. The elution profile from DNA cellulose revealed a minor peak (I) and a major peak (II) of DNA polymerase activity utilizing poly(A) -(dT)10 as template-primer in the presence of Mn2+ - Peak II from DNA cellulose, which contained about 90% of the total DNA polymerase activity eluted from the column, was 2-3 times as active with poly(A) - (dT)10 as template-primer in the presence of Mn2+ than with activated calf thymus DNA in the presence of Mg2+. On the other hand, peak I had a low ratio of poly(A) - (dT)10 to activated calf thymus DNA activity. DNA polymerase was also purified from the nuclear membrane fraction of uninfected KB cells by the same procedures as those used in enzyme purification from the adenovirus 2 DNA-nuclear membrane complex. A minor peak and a major peak of DNA polymerase activity utilizing poly(A) - (dT)10 as template primer in the presence of Mn2+ were again observed that eluted from DNA cellulose at the same KCl concentrations as peak I and II from adenovirus 2-infected cells. The enzymes of the nuclear membrane fraction of uninfected KB cells could not be differentiated from the enzymes of the adenovirus 2 DNA-nuclear membrane complex through any of the purification steps nor by their template specificities. These results indicate that the predominant enzyme in the adenovirus 2 DNA-nuclear membrane complex and in the KB cell nuclear membrane complex belongs to the class of DNA polymerase psi.

DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, DNA-Dependent DNA polymerase, and terminal riboadenylate transferase (TRT) activities have been measured after DEAE-Sephadex chromatography of whole cell extracts prepared from eggs and staged embryos of the urchin, Stronglyocentrotus franciscanus. Activity of each of these three polymerase classes is present in the egg, and the total activity per embryo is constant throughout embryogenesis to the pluteus stage (approximately 1000 cells). Thus the egg appears to contain sufficient DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, and TRT TRT for embryogenesis. The increases in the synthesis of DNA, RNA and polyadenylated RNA tracts observed after fertilization must be due to the activation of the preexisting egg enzymes. Separation of the egg into nucleate and anucleate halves demonstrates that the RNA polymerases are not restricted to the egg nucleus. During development, the enzymes become progressively more associated with the cell nucleus. The egg extracts contain low activities (approximately 6% total) of RNA polymerase II as measured by sensitivity to alpha-amanitin. This is confirmed by resolution of the RNA polymerase forms I, II, and III by gradient sievorptive elution on DEAE-Sephadex. Later stage embryos contain more nearly equal activities of RNA polymerase, I, II, and III, although the total RNA polymerase activity per embryo is not changed. Additionally, two chromatographicallly distinct species of RNA polymerase III are detected, one of which is observed only in later stages. Thus interconversion of enzymes via addition of new subunits or coordinate synthesis and loss of enzyme species must occur.

A factor which inhibited DNA polymerase [EC 2.7.7.7] activity was isolated from the cytoplasm of plasmodia of true slime mold, Physarum polycephalum. This factor was purified by DEAE-Sephadex and CM-cellulose column chromatographies, heat treatment and gel filtration. This inhibitor was heat-stable, insensitive to trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] and was not digested by RNase [EC 3.1.4.22] or DNase [EC 3.1.4.5]. The molecular weight was 16,000 as determined by gel filtration, and the isoelectric point was determined to be pH 10.1. In the presence of the inhibitor, Km for DNA in the DNA polymerizing reaction was markedly increased. The inhibitory effect was eliminated by addition of excess DNA, but the addition of excess enzyme or deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates had no effect on the inhibition.

The DNA polymerase induced after infection of Escherichia coli by phage T7 has been purified 500-fold to near homogeneity as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The purified enzyme complements extracts of cells infected with a T7 gene 5 mutant to permit cell-free replication of duplex T7 DNA. In contrast, purified T4 DNA polymerase or E. coli DNA polymerase I is unable to do so, thus suggesting a specific requirement for the T7 enzyme in the replication of the viral DNA. E. coli TsnC protein is present in purified T7 DNA polymerase in one-to-one stoichiometry with T7 gene 5 protein, and can be isolated in homogeneous form from heat-denatured enzyme by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The inactive form of T7 gene 5 protein that accumulates in tsnC hosts has been partially purified. When partially purified gene 5 protein is mixed with purified TsnC protein, DNA polymerase activity is restored, and formation of a one-to-one complex between the two proteins occurs. These results indicate that the functional form ofT7 DNA polymerase is a complex composed of phage- and host-specified subunits.
