The activity levels of DNA polymerases α and β have been measured by autoradiography in squash preparations from rat testis of sexually mature animals. Similar results were obtained with ‘fixed’ samples (dipped in acetone: ethanol for 5 min at 25 °C) or ‘unfixed’ samples (frozen in liquid nitrogen and freeze-dried). The activities of DNA polymerases α and β in situ were distinguished by differential assay conditions and by selective inhibition with compounds such as N-ethylmaleimide and aphidicolin. Using the endogenous chromatin as template, maximal activity for both enzymes was obtained in the presence of all four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, MgCl2 and ethylene glycol. When DNA polymerase activities in several predominant testicular cell types (pre-leptotene primary spermatocytes, pachytene primary spermatocytes, round spermatids and elongated spermatids) were quantitatively compared, on a per cell basis, the following percentage distribution was observed:
Pre-leptotene primary spermatocyte % | Pachytene primary spermatocyte % | Round spermatid % | Elongated spermatid % | |
DNA polymerase α | 25 | 42 | 30 | 3 |
DNA polymerase β | 29 | 34 | 36 | 1 |
