Phosphonoacetate was an effective inhibitor of both the Marek's disease herpesvirus- and the herpesvirus of turkey-induced DNA polymerase. Using the herpesvirus of turkey-induced DNA polymerase, phosphonoacetate inhibition studies for the DNA polymerization reaction and for the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate-pyrophosphate exchange reaction were carried out. The results demonstrated that phosphonoacetate inhibited the polymerase by interacting with it at the pyrophosphate binding site to create an alternate reaction pathway. A detailed mechanism and rate equation for the inhibition were developed. For comparison to phosphonoacetate, pyrophosphate inhibition patterns and apparent inhibition constants were determined. Twelve analogues of phosphonoacetate were tested as inhibitors of the herpesvirus of turkey-induced DNA polymerase. At the concentrations tested, only one, 2-phosphonopropionate, was an inhibitor. The apparent inhibition constant for it was about 50 times greater than the corresponding apparent inhibition constant for phosphonoacetate. DNA polymerase alpha of duck embryo fibroblasts, the host cell for the herpesviruses, was inhibited by phosphonoacetate. The apparent inhibition constants for the alpha polymerase were about 10-20 times greater than the corresponding inhibition constants for the herpesvirus-induced DNA polymerase. Duck DNA polymerase beta, Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I, and avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase were not inhibited by phosphonoacetate.

DNA polymerase gamma has been purified over 60 000-fold from HeLa cells which contain no detectable type C viral particles. This purified enzyme shows a specific activity of 25 000 units/mg of protein which is comparable to the known specific activity of homogeneous preparations of human alpha and beta polymerases. The isolated enzyme shows apparent molecular weights ranging from 160 000 to 330 000 according to the method of analysis. The enzyme exhibits optimal activity for copying poly(A) in the presence of 50 mM KPO4 and 130 mM KCl and, under these conditions, copies poly(A) 20 times more rapidly than activated DNA. These assay conditions permit a clear distinction between the gamma-polymerase and DNA polymerase beta which is markedly inhibited by phosphate at this concentration. A comparison of the copying of activated DNA, poly(dA) and poly(A) by DNA polymerases alpha, beta, and gamma under optimal assay conditions for each enzyme is presented. Studies with synthetic and natural nucleic acid templates also show the gamma-polymerase to behave differently that the reverse transcriptases of avian myeloblastosis virus or Rauscher leukemia virus.

3'-Fluoro-2',3'-dideoxythymidine 5'-(alpha-methylphosphonyl)-beta,gamma- diphosphate and 2'-deoxythymidine-5'-(alpha-methylphosphonyl)-beta, gamma- diphosphate have been synthesized. Both compounds are incorporated into DNA chains during catalysis by reverse transcriptases of human immunodeficiency (HIV) and avian myeloblastosis (AMV) viruses, DNA polymerase beta from rat liver, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase from calf thymus and (at a very low rate) is by E. coli DNA polymerase I, Klenow fragment. The first compound is a termination substrate while the second is capable of multiple incorporation into the DNA chains. For instance, reverse transcriptase catalysis resulted in the appearance of 8 residues of second compound. DNA polymerases alpha and epsilon from human placenta incorporated none of the above compounds into DNA chains, although an inhibition of DNA synthesis by both compounds was observed with all enzymes mentioned. The 3'----5'-exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I, Klenow fragment, hydrolyzed DNA fragments containing phosphonomethyl internucleoside groups, while such DNA fragments were resistant to the E. coli exonuclease III.

The synthesis of 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate analogues with fluorescent residues of fluorescein and rhodamine nature at C5 of the uracil base was performed. Reverse transcriptase of avian myeloblastosis virus, DNA polymerase beta of rat liver, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase of calf thymus and E. coli DNA polymerase I, Klenow fragment, were shown to be capable to incorporate a nucleotide residue with fluorescent label into 3'-terminus of oligonucleotide. These fluorescent labeled oligonucleotides were used as primers for synthesis of (-)-chain of M13mp10 phage. Fluorescently labeling template-primer complexes were used for DNA sequencing.

3'-Fluoro-2',3'-dideoxythymidine 5'-(alpha-methylphosphonyl)-beta, gamma-diphosphate (I) and 2'-deoxythymidine 5'-(alpha-methylphosphonyl)-beta,gamma-diphosphate (II) were synthesised. Reverse transcriptases of HIV and avian myeloblastosis virus, rat liver DNA polymerase beta, calf thymus terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase and E. coli DNA polymerase I KF incorporated both compounds into the growing DNA chain, KF being the least effective. Compound I revealed termination substrate properties, but II was repeatedly incorporated into the DNA chain, for example, by HIV reverse transcriptase - up to 8 residues. Human placenta DNA polymerases alpha and epsilon incorporated neither I nor II into the DNA chain, although DNA synthesis, catalyzed by all the investigated enzymes, was inhibited in the presence of I or II and compound II was a more effective inhibitor then I. The DNA fragments containing alpha-phosphonomethyl groups were hydrolyzed by 3'----5' exonuclease of DNA polymerase I and not hydrolyzed by ExoIII from E. coli.

2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-dehydrothymidine 5'-triphosphate (dddTTP) shows termination substrate properties in the DNA synthesis catalyzed by E. coli DNA polymerase I KF, rat liver DNA polymerase beta, reverse transcriptases of avian myeloblastosis virus and Raus sarcoma virus and calf thymus terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. This implies that the mononucleotide residue of dddTTP incorporates into 3'-termini of newly synthesized DNA chains. However, dddTTP has no influence on the DNA synthesis catalyzed by calf thymus DNA polymerase alpha. In the case of some DNA polymerases dddTTP was one order of magnitude more effective in comparison with the other known termination substrates.

Ability of some new substrates containing the 5'-alpha-thiotriphosphate residue to terminate the DNA synthesis catalyzed by several DNA polymerases has been investigated. The cell-free test system contained the M13mp10 phage single-stranded DNA and a synthetic oligonucleotide primer. Reverse transcriptase from avian myeloblastosis virus catalyzed termination of DNA synthesis by 3'-azido-3'-fluoro- and 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxythymidine-5'-(alpha-thio)triphosphates, whereas rat liver DNA polymerase beta and E. coli DNA polymerase I (Klenow's fragment) utilized only the second and the third compounds, and calf thymus DNA polymerase alpha failed to utilize any of the substrates. Low specificity of reverse transcriptase to different moieties of the substrate molecules is discussed.

2',3'-Dideoxy-2',3'-dehydrothymidine 5'-triphosphate (dddTTP) reveals the termination substrate properties in the DNA synthesis catalyzed by E. coli polymerase I (Klenow fragment), rat liver DNA polymerase beta, calf thymus terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, and reverse transcriptase of avian myeloblastosis virus but does not affect calf thymus DNA polymerase alpha. For DNA polymerase I, dddTTP by an order of magnitude is more effective than any known termination substrate. It is supposed that dddTTP models the conformational state of the substrate's carbohydrate moiety in the complex DNA polymerase + template-primer.

Avian retrovirus pp32, a DNA endonuclease which is structurally related to the avian retrovirus DNA polymerase beta polypeptide, has been demonstrated to be partially phosphorylated in vivo. Unlabeled or [35S]methionine-labeled pp32 from avian sarcoma virus or avian myeloblastosis virus migrated as an electrophoretic doublet on discontinuous sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gels. However, pp32 immunoprecipitated from avian sarcoma virus labeled in vivo with [32P]orthophosphoric acid migrated as a single band, which co-electrophoresed with the slower-moving band of the doublet represented by unlabeled or 35S-labeled pp32. The presence of a slower-migrating phosphorylated band in pp32 suggests that the observed electrophoretic heterogeneity of purified pp32 is due to partial phosphorylation. Tryptic peptide analysis of 32P-labeled avian sarcoma virus beta and pp32 demonstrated that all the three labeled peptides in the beta polypeptide were also present in pp32. However, pp32 had one tryptic peptide which was preferentially labeled in comparison to the comigrating peptide found in beta digests, suggesting that phosphorylation may play a role in the processing of pp32 from beta or in the regulation of its associated DNA endonuclease activity.

The contribution of proofreading to the fidelity of catalysis by DNA polymerases has been determined with deoxyribonucleoside [1-thio]triphosphate substrates. These analogues, which contain a sulfur in place of an oxygen on the alpha phosphorus, are incorporated into DNA by DNA polymerases at rates similar to those of the corresponding unmodified deoxynucleoside triphosphates. The fidelity of DNA synthesis was measured with phi X174 am3 DNA; reversion to wild type occurs most frequently by a single base substitution, a C for a T at position 587. By using avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase and DNA polymerase beta (enzymes without a proofreading 3' leads to 5' exonucleolytic activity), substitution of deoxycytidine thiotriphosphate in the reaction mixture did not alter fidelity. In contrast, with DNA polymerases from E. coli (DNA polymerase I) and bacteriophage T4 (enzymes containing a proofreading activity), fidelity was markedly reduced with deoxycytidine [1-thio]triphosphate. DNA containing phosphorothioate nucleotides is insensitive to hydrolysis by the exonuclease associated with these prokaryotic DNA polymerases. These combined results indicate that the deoxynucleoside [1-thio]triphosphates have normal base-pairing properties; however, once misinserted by a polymerase, they are not excised by proofreading. Proofreading of a C:A mismatch at position 587 is thereby found to contribute 20-fold to the fidelity of E. coli DNA polymerase I and a greater amount to the fidelity of bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase.
