DNA of the IS-elements IS1 and IS2 was prepared by digestion of appropriate heteroduplex molecules with endonuclease S1, followed by sucrose gradient centrifugation or gel electrophoresis. The material obtained is homogeneous with regard to size. The length of IS1 DNA is 820 +/- 65 nucleotides, the length of IS2 DNA is 1,350 +/- 70 nucleotides. IS1 DNA is not cleaved by the restriction endonucleases Eco R1, Hind II or Hind III. IS2 DNA is cleaved once by each of the two latter enzymes. The buoyand density determined by equilibrium centrifugation of Hg-complexes in Cs2so4 corresponds to a GC content of approximately 50%. Labelling with polynucleotide kinase indicates that both IS DNA's have a guanosyl residue at both of their 5'-termini.

Some peculiarities of activation of (ADP-ribose) polymerase by DNA fragments were studied. DNA fragments were produced by the digestion of calf thymus DNA by micrococcal nuclease and with a subsequent enzymatic modification of their end groups by nuclease S1, polynucleotide kinase of phage T4 and alkaline phosphatase. The dependence of the activating effect of DNA on the chemical structure of its end groups was established. It was shown that the terminal phosphate groups are involved in the formation of a catalytically active complex of (ADP-ribose) polymerase with DNA.

Thymine glycol (Tg) is a product of DNA damage by oxygen radicals generated by oxidative mutagens and carcinogens and ionizing radiation. The highly sensitive 32P-postlabeling assay was validated and optimized for the measurement of Tg generated in vitro by the reaction of dTp or calf thymus DNA with osmium tetroxide (OsO4). Adduct detection was enhanced by purification of Tg adducts using phenylboronate affinity chromatography or by preferential dephosphorylation of unmodified 3'-nucleotides with nuclease P1, nuclease S1, or polynucleotide kinase; Tg nucleotides were found to be resistant to limited enzymatic 3'-dephosphorylation. Two adducts were seen with OsO4-modified dTp, which may have been cis-Tg adducts, because they were retained on a phenylboronate column, and because OsO4 selectively forms cis-Tg adducts. With OsO4-modified DNA, several adducts were detected, two major derivatives of which coincided chromatographically with those seen in OsO4-modified dTp. The recoveries of major adducts were similar before and after enrichment by different methods, indicating that Tg adducts were resistant to enzymatic dephosphorylation. The efficacy of labeling of the two major Tg adducts by polynucleotide kinase was optimal at 60 microM ATP and higher, whereas it was about 3%, 50%, and 80% of the optimal rate at 2, 10, and 30 microM, respectively. This was in contrast to our previous finding that only 0.25 microM ATP was needed for optimal labeling of benzoquinone-DNA adducts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Endogenous oligonucleotides were found in trichloroacetic acid extracts of hamster lung fibroblasts and Tetrahymena cells. Peaks of radioactivity that eluted with retention times similar to oligonucleotide markers (5- to 50-mer) were found by HPLC in cells labeled briefly with 32Pi. Only minute amounts of UV-absorbing material were detected, consistent with a rapid turnover of phosphate groups. The 32P-labeled material also migrated as oligonucleotides on 20% polyacrylamide gels; it was not hydrolyzed by alkaline phosphatase but was digested by snake venom phosphodiesterase, S1 nuclease, and pancreatic RNase and was phosphorylated by T4 polynucleotide kinase. The 32P-labeled material isolated by HPLC was alkali labile and the hydrolyzate ran as nucleotides on paper chromatography. It is concluded that the oligonucleotides are mainly oligoribonucleotides, but it is possible that oligodeoxynucleotides are also present.

The major 5'-termini of human adenovirus type 2 early gene block 4 mRNA were sequenced. Poly(A+) polyribosomal RNA was isolated from Ad2 early infected cells, the 5'-terminal m7GPPP removed and the 5'-OH of the penultimate 2'-0-methylated nucleotide labeled with [gamma-32P]ATP using polynucleotide kinase. Ad2 E4 mRNA was purified by hybridization to the Ad2 EcoRI-C fragment and was digested with RNase T1. The resulting oligonucleotides were resolved by two dimensional paper electrophoresis-homochromatography. Four major and 3-4 minor 5'-terminal sequences were identified and characterized. The sequence of the 5'-terminal structures of the major four termini are: (1) m7GpppUmU(m)UUACACUGp, (2) m7GpppUmU(m)UACACUGp, (3) m7GpppUmU(m)ACACUGp, and (4) m7Gppp(m6)AmC(m)ACUGp. These major 5'-terminal sequences were aligned with nucleotide 325, 326, 327, and 329 from the righthand end of the known Ad2 DNA sequence (1) in the region mapped as the 5'-terminus of E4 mRNA by electron microscopy (2,3) and S1 nuclease-gel (4) mapping. Two potential ribosomal binding sites and an initiator codon were found at 40 to 65 nucleotides and about 80 nucleotides, respectively, from these heterogenous 5'-termini. Ad2 E4 major mRNA species appear to be unique since mRNA molecules initiate at a pyrimidine, perhaps by RNA polymerase stuttering, or they are products of an unusual type of RNA processing.

The action of T4 polynucleotide kinase, T4 DNA polymerase, E. coli DNA polymerase I, snake venom phosphodiesterase (VPDE) and S1 nuclease on analogues of oligothymidilates with p-s-C5' bonds and the ability of these analogues to prime the replication of poly (dA) by T4 DNA polymerase were studied. These analogues were shown to be substrates for all these enzymes. Substitution of these analogues for corresponding oligothymidilates in the reaction mixtures resulted in drop in rates of enzymic reactions. This drop in reactions rates was not significant when these oligonucleotides were phosphorylated with T4 polynucleotide kinase or used as a primers, however in comparison with oligothymidilates these analogues were found to be considerably more resistant to nucleolytic hydrolysis. Some possible applications of these analogues are discussed.

A rapid, sensitive, and specific solution-hybridization method is described that utilizes cloned, double-stranded DNA. The DNA is treated with restriction enzyme(s), and fragments are 32P-labeled at their 5' termini with polynucleotide kinase. A single fragment is partially purified by gel electrophoresis, denatured, and annealed with unlabeled RNA or DNA. The reaction mix is treated with S1 nuclease, precipitated with TCA, and the [32P]DNA counted. Hybridization is recognized only when the 32P label is associated with duplexes that are TCA-precipitable. The specificity of the method was analyzed by annealing experiments with cloned, human globin DNAs. Restriction fragments labeled in the 3' untranslated region of human beta globin clones formed S1-resistant, TCA-precipitable duplexes with beta globin DNA, but not with delta or gamma globin DNA. Thus, a major advantage of the method is that it can distinguish among homologous nucleic acids whose uniformly labeled cDNAs cross hybridize under moderately stringent conditions. This assay is as sensitive as the [3H]cDNA hybridization method, and it circumvents the requirement for purified mRNA as a template for [3H]cDNA synthesis. It also avoids a gel electrophoresis step, it is rapid and quantitative, and many samples can be simultaneously analyzed.

The effect at specific nuclease S1 on DNA and the complex viral DNA-terminal protein of the highly oncogenic simian adenovirus SA7(C8) was studied. It was shown that nuclease S1 did not digest the bound between DNA and terminal protein in the complex but residual amino acid(s) was cleaved out after digestion with pronase. The DNA obtained after nuclease S1 action could be ligated and its 5'-ends were phosphorylated by polynucleotide kinase.

A combination of several enzymes, RNase-T1, nuclease S1, T4-polynucleotide kinase and T4-RNA ligase were used to prepare and modify different fragments of yeast tRNAAsp (normal anticodon G U C). This allowed us to reconstitute, in vitro, a chimeric tRNA that has any of the four bases G, A, U or C, as the first anticodon nucleotide, labelled with (32p) in its 3' position. Such reconstituted (32p) labelled yeast tRNAAsp were microinjected into the cytoplasm or the nucleus of the frog oocyte and checked for their stability as well as for their potential to work as a substrate for the maturation (modifying) enzymes under in vivo conditions. Our results indicate that the chimeric yeast tRNAsAsp were quite stable inside the frog oocyte. Also, the G34 was effectively transformed inside the cytoplasm of frog oocyte into Q34 and mannosyl-Q34; U34 into mcm5s2U and mcm5U. In contrast, C34 and A34 were not transformed at all neither in the cytoplasm nor in the nucleus of the frog oocyte. The above procedure constitutes a new approach in order to detect the presence of a given modifying enzyme inside the frog oocyte; also it provides informations about its cellular location and possibility about its specificity of interaction with foreign tRNA.

The adenovirus-specific DNA-binding protein (DBP) has been shown to inhibit the hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA by a DNase isolated from KB cells, (Nass, K., and Frenkel, G.D. (1980). J. Virol. 35, 314-319). The specificity of the inhibition has now been investigated. The DBP inhibits the hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA by several different DNases (DNase II, KB DNase, S1 nuclease) under a variety of reaction conditions, but it has no effect on DNase I-catalyzed hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA. The DBP also inhibits the rate of hydrolysis of double-stranded DNA by KB DNase and DNase II, but has no effect on DNase I-catalyzed hydrolysis of this substrate. The DBP also inhibits the dephosphorylation of 5'-phosphoryl-terminated DNA by bacterial alkaline phosphatase but stimulates the phosphorylation of 5'-hydroxyl-terminated DNA by polynucleotide kinase.
