Caffeine was found to inhibit RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity of Rauscher leukemia virus when endogenous viral RNA and poly(rA)·(dT)12–18 were used as templates. Similar results were also obtained with purified RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (deoxynucleoside triphosphate; DNA nucleotidyl transferase; EC 2.7.7.7) from avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) utilizing 70S and 35S RNA of AMV, poly(rA)·(dT)12–18, globin mRNA and activated calf thymus DNA as templates. The “caffeine effect” was evident only when it was present during the initiation of polymerization reaction. Increasing the template concentration in the reaction mixture partly reversed the effect of caffeine. Of the analogs of caffeine tested, only theophylline inhibited AMV DNA polymerase, whereas aminophylline showed no effect. 相似文献

An apparently full-length complementary DNA copy of in vitro polyadenylated MS2 RNA was synthesized with avian myeloblastosis virus RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. After the MS2 RNA template was removed from the complementary DNA strand with T1 and pancreatic RNase digestion, the complementary DNA became a good template for the synthesis of double-stranded MS2 DNA with Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I. We then constructed molecular chimeras by inserting the double-stranded MS2 DNA into the PstI restriction endonuclease cleavage site of the E. coli plasmid pBR322 by means of the poly(dA)· poly(dT) tailing procedure. An E. coli transformant carrying a plasmid with a nearly full-length MS2 DNA insertion, called pMS2-7, was chosen for further study. Correlation between the restriction cleavage site map of pMS2-7 DNA and the cleavage map predicted from the primary structure of MS2 RNA, and nucleotide sequence analysis of the 5′ and 3′ end regions of the MS2 DNA insertion, showed that the entire MS2 RNA had been faithfully copied, and that, except for 14 nucleotides corresponding to the 5′-terminal sequence of MS2 RNA, the fulllength DNA copy of the viral genetic information had been inserted into the plasmid. Restriction endonuclease analysis of the chimera plasmid DNA also revealed the presence of an extra DNA insertion which was identified as the translocatable element IS13 (see following paper). 相似文献

A model RNA template-primer system is described for the study of RNA-directed double-stranded DNA synthesis by purified avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase and its associated RNase H. In the presence of complementary RNA primer, oligo(rI), and the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates dGTP, dTTP, and dATP, 3'-(rC)30-40-poly(rA) directs the sequential synthesis of poly(dT) and poly(dA) from a specific site at the 3' end of the RNA template. With this model RNA template-primer, optimal conditions for double-stranded DNA synthesis are described. Analysis of the kinetics of DNA synthesis shows that initially there is rapid synthesis of poly(dT). After a brief time lag, poly(dA) synthesis and the DNA polymerase-associated RNase H activity are initiated. While poly(rA) is directing the synthesis of poly(dT), the requirements for DNA synthesis indicate that the newly synthesized poly(dT) is acting as template for poly(dA) synthesis. Furthermore, selective inhibitor studies using NaF show that activation of RNase H is not just a time-related event, but is required for synthesis of the anti-complementary strand of DNA. To determine the specific role of RNase H in this synthetic sequence, the primer for poly(dA) synthesis was investigated. By use of formamide--poly-acrylamide slab gel electrophoresis, it is shown that poly(dT) is not acting as both template and primer for poly(dA) synthesis since no poly(dT)-poly(dA) covalent linkages are observed in radioactive poly(dA) product. Identification of 2',3'-[32P]AMP on paper chromatograms of alkali-treated poly(dA) product synthesized with [alpha-32P]dATP as substrate demonstrates the presence of rAMP-dAMP phosphodiester linkages in the poly(dA) product. Therefore, a new functional role of RNase H is demonstrated in the RNA-directed synthesis of double-stranded DNA. Not only is RNase H responsible for the degradation of poly(rA) following formation of a poly(rA)-poly(dT) hybrid but also the poly(rA)fragments generated are serving as primers for initiation of synthesis of the second strand of the double-stranded DNA. 相似文献

Tryptophanyl-tRNA was specifically labeled at the 3' end with [3H]tryptophan and cleaved in half with RNase under denaturing conditions, and the 3' half was shown to hybridize exclusively at the 5' end of avian myeloblastosis virus RNA. The RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of avian myeloblastosis virus is capable of efficiently binding the 3' half of the primer molecule. 相似文献

Liquid hybridization of progressively smaller fragments (35S, 27S, 15.5S, 12.5S, and 8S) of poly(A)-selected avian myeloblastosis virus RNA with excess DNA from leukemic chicken myeloblasts revealed that all sizes of RNA contained sequences complementary to both slowly and rapidly hybridizing cellular DNA sequences. Apparently, the RNA sequences which hybridize rapidly with excesses of cellular DNA are not restricted to any one region of the avian myeloblastosis virus 35S RNA. Instead, they appear to be randomly distributed over the entire 35S avian myeloblastosis virus RNA molecule with some positioned within 200 nucleotides of the poly(A) tract at the 3' end of the RNA. 相似文献

Infidelity of DNA synthesis by reverse transcriptase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The fidelity of purified DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus in precisely copying polynucleotide templates was determined. With poly (dA-dT) · poly (dA-dT) as a template, one molecule of the incorrect basepaired nucleotide (dCTP) is incorporated for every 6000 nucleotides polymerized. When copying the ribo strand of poly (rA) · poly (dT) the error rate is approximately one in 600. It is suggested that the enzyme makes similar errors and thus could be mutagenic. 相似文献

A new approach to the isolation of RNA-DNA hybrids and its application to the quantitative determination of labeled tumor virus RNA 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

A procedure has been developed by which the hybrid formed between a labeled RNA and complementary DNA can be selectively separated from all other single and double-stranded nucleic acids. We describe the application of this procedure to the quantitative determination of labeled avian tumor virus RNA. Purified DNA complementary to avian myeloblastosis virus RNA is extended at its 3′ terminus with 40 to 60 dCMP residues, using terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase. The elongated DNA is annealed with the labeled nucleic acid preparation and the mixture is passed through a column of Sephadex to which poly(I) has been covalently bound. The poly(I) retains the specific RNA-DNA hybrids by virtue of their poly(C) extension. The column is washed with RNAase to degrade nonhybridized RNA, the RNA retained on the column is eluted with formamide and its radioactivity is determined. The background hybridization was reduced to 0.003 to 0.008% by addition of oligo(C)5.20 to the hybridization mixture and by carrying out the adsorption to the poly(I)-Sephadex column in the presence of poly(U). The hybridization efficiency was about 50%. The content of radioactive Rous sarcoma virus-specific RNA was determined in infected and uninfected cells after labeling with [3H]uridine for two hours. The content of labeled virus-specific RNA in infected cells was 0.6 to 0.9% and 0.05% in uninfected cells. The value found for monkey cell RNA was 0.009%. This method can be used for the detection of hybrids between labeled RNA and complementary DNAs too short to allow quantitation by conventional methods. If the RNAase step is omitted the procedure can be used for the isolation of any RNA for which a complementary DNA is available, as well as for its precursor. 相似文献

A particulate fraction of adult rat brain (sucrose buoyant density 1.24 gm/ml) catalyzed the incorporation of [3H]dTTP into an acid-insoluble product in an endogenously templated reaction sensitive to ribonuclease pretreatment. Upon fractionation, this activity was identified in the cerebellum, pons, frontal lobes and base. The DNA polymerase present in these brain fractions exhibited a strong preference for the synthetic template dT12–18·poly rA rather than dT12–18·poly dA; dT10 was completely inactive. Purification and equilibrium Cs2SO4 gradient centrifugation of the [3H]DNA product-endogenous template complex suggested that RNA was serving as primer for endogenous DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Presence in Leukemic Cells of Avian Myeloblastosis Virus-Specific DNA Sequences Absent in Normal Chicken Cells 总被引:15,自引:11,他引:4
(3)H-labeled 35S RNA from purified avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) was exhaustively hybridized with an excess of normal chicken DNA to remove all viral RNA sequences which are complementary to DNA from uninfected cells. The [(3)H]RNA which failed to hybridize was isolated by hydroxylapatite column chromatography which separates DNA-RNA hybrids from single-stranded [(3)H]RNA. The residual RNA hybridized to leukemic chicken DNA but did not rehybridize with normal chicken DNA. This demonstrates conclusively that DNA from AMV-induced leukemic cells contain viral-specific sequences which are absent in DNA from normal cells. 相似文献
