Reovirus RNA-directed synthesis of DNA: I. The reaction catalyzed by DNA polymerase from Escherichia coli
Journal of Molecular Biology(1965)
摘要
Reovirus RNA is an effective template in DNA synthesis catalyzed by DNA polymerase from Escherichia coli B. The product has a base composition similar to that of the reovirus RNA primer and has nearest-neighbor sequence frequencies similar to those in the complementary RNA product of the reovirus RNA-primed RNA polymerase reaction. There is no evidence of deoxyribonucleotide homo-polymer synthesis in the DNA polymerase reaction. The DNA product collected after 30 minutes of incubation is largely double-stranded and maintains a denatured state after heating and rapid cooling. It has not yet been established whether there is first formed on the RNA template a single-stranded DNA, which on liberation from the double-stranded RNA template is preferentially copied to produce a fully denaturable double-stranded DNA, or whether the product formed on the double-stranded RNA template is initially double-stranded DNA. As is the case in DNA-primed reactions, actinomycin D inhibits reovirus RNA-primed incorporation of deoxyribonucleotides into DNA with DNA polymerase as enzyme to a lesser extent than the reovirus RNA-primed incorporation of ribonucleotides into RNA with RNA polymerase as enzyme. With ribonucleoside triphosphates as precursors, there is little or no RNA synthesis in the reovirus RNA-primed DNA polymerase reaction.
