A ribonuclease-sensitive DNA polymerase, which uses an endogenous template, is detectable in the 39,000 g supernatant of a rat thymus homogenate, and appears as a single peak of activity in the void volume after Sephadex G 150 or G 200 gel filtration chromatography. Native and "activated" DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities coincide with the endogenous-templated polymerase activity. Treatment of the thymus extract with ribonuclease(s) prior to gel filtration chromatography yields two other peaks of activity in addition to the void volume peak. The appearance of the two lower molecular weight peaks of activity is accompanied by a concomitant decrease in the endogenous-templated activity. The effect of ribonuclease is specific and cannot be reproduced by a similar deoxyribonuclease treatment.

At least 12 virus-induced DNA-binding proteins with mol. wt. ranging from 14 X 10(3) have been isolated from frog virus (FV 3)-infected fathead minnow cells by DNA affinity chromatography. Two enzymic activities, DNA-dependent DNA polymerase and endodeoxyribonuclease, were present in the DNA-binding proteins; these enzymic activities were similar to those induced by FV 3 in infected cells. A single species of DNA-binding proteins with a mol. wt of 36 000 had very high affinity for single-stranded DNA, but a low one for double-stranded DNA. Proteins with such characteristic affinity for single-stranded DNA destabilize the DNA helix and are essential for viral DNA replication. Thus, the 36 000 mol. wt. DNA-binding protein is a candidate for such a role in FV 3 DNA replication.
