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

Poly(9-vinylpurine), a polynucleotide analog with purine residues unable to form complete base-pairs, inhibited replication of murine leukemia virus (MLV) without changing the growth rate of the host cells. Poly(9-vinylpurine) was also an inhibitor of activity of MLV DNA polymerase. The amount required for 50% inhibition depended upon the kind of template-primer that was used in the assay. But inhibition was not specific to the virus DNA polymerase, since the cellular DNA polymerases α and γ were also inhibited. Poly(9-vinylpurine) was capable of complex formation with poly(rA). However an analog, with an N,N-dimethylamino group substituted in the 6 position of the purine ring, did not form a complex with poly(rA) and did not inhibit virus replication. 相似文献

The effect of depurination of polynucleotide templates on the fidelity of DNA synthesis in vitro has been determined. The fidelity of DNA synthesis with Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I, avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase and human placenta DNA polymerase-β is decreased as a result of depurination of the poly[d(A-T)], poly[d(G-C)]and poly[d(A)]templates. The error rate with poly[d(A-T)]increased from to using E. coli Pol I, and from to using the myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase. Depurination of poly[d(A)]increased the error rate from to using E. coli Pol I, and from to using the DNA polymerase-β from human placenta. Depurination of poly[d(G-C)]resulted in an increase in the error rate with E. coli Pol I from to , and with the virus DNA polymerase from to . This misincorporation is shown to be directly proportional to the extent of depurination. Deletion experiments and alkaline sucrose gradient analyses suggest that the incorporation of complementary and non-complementary nucleotides is dependent on polymerization, and occurs in the same newly synthesized product. Kinetic studies and nearest-neighbor analyses indicate that the incorporation of non-complementary nucleotides occurs randomly as single-base substitutions. The nearest-neighbor studies also suggest that any of the four deoxynucleotides can be incorporated opposite apurinic sites. The number of each nucleotide incorporated relative to the number of apurinic sites was determined to be for dGTP, for dCTP, for dATP and for dTTP with both the poly[d(A-T)] and poly[d(A)] templates. The frequencies of misincorporation relative to the number of apurinic sites with the poly[d(G-C)]template were for dATP, for dTTP, for dGTP and for dCTP. Hydrolysis at the apurinic sites by alkali treatment reversed the effects of depurination on fidelity. The error rates with the depurinated templates were reduced to within 2% of those obtained prior to depurination, providing additional evidence that the misincorporation after depurination results from apurinic sites on the template. These results suggest a possible relationship between depurination of DNA and errors in DNA replication and/or repair. 相似文献

A template independent poly (A)·poly (U) synthesizing activity has been isolated from . This activity is eluted from a DNA-cellulose column along with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The column fractions which exhibit this activity contain RNA polymerase holoenzyme plus a polypeptide which is slightly larger than sigma factor; pure RNA polymerase holoenzyme did not synthesize poly (A)·poly (U). The activity was dependent on the presence of ATP, UTP, and Mn++ (Mg++ could not substitute), and was inhibited by rifampicin, streptolydigin, and Cibacron Blue. The incorporation of nucleotides was not linear with time, but appeared after a lag period. The results suggest that a modified form of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase analogous to holoenzyme II is catalyzing the synthesis of poly (A)·poly (U). 相似文献

A single subcutaneous injection of folate, homofolate or MTX resulted in the inhibition of the activity of dihydrofolate reductase in homogenates prepared from the kidneys of normal mice. Stimulation of 3H-thymidine uptake occurred in the kidneys of treated animals approximately 30 hr after administration of either folate or homofolate, and reached a peak 72 hr after administration. The effects of folate and MTX on dihydrofolate reductase activity were also determined. One hr after administration of 15 mg/kg methotrexate (MTX) or 300 mg/kg folate, enzyme activity was inhibited by 90%.3H-deoxyuridine uptake was neither stimulated nor depressed after treatment with MTX. After administration of folate, uptake of 3H-deoxyuridine was stimulated at approximately 30 hr after drug-treatment and reached a peak at 72 hr after folate administration. Treatment with xanthopterin had no effect on the activity of dihydrofolate reductase . Xanthopterin stimulated uptake of both deoxyuridine and thymidine in an identical manner.The increased DNA synthesis that occurs in animals after treatment with agents that cause renal damage is distinct from the effect these agents have upon dihydrofolate reductase. Nucleoside incorporation after treatment with folate, homofolate, MTX or xanthopterin cannot be predicted on the basis of enzyme inhibition. Treatment with MTX, folate or homofolate results in enzyme inhibition which is not correlated with the uptake of deoxyuridine into DNA. 相似文献

The presence of cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase has been established in sea urchin eggs and four-cell embryos by subcellular fractionation and use of enucleate egg halves. ATP is the only ribonucleoside triphosphate incorporated. This incorporation is time dependent, contingent on input protein concentration, and immune to a variety of antimetabolites known to inhibit DNA-directed RNA synthesis. Both the unfertilized egg and the four-cell embryo cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase activities display a preference for Mn2+. While oligo(A)4 is inactive as a primer, addition of and stimulates ATP incorporation. On a unit per milligram protein basis, the endogenous activity associated with cytoplasmic fractions obtained from nucleate and enucleate egg halves is 36 and 83% that obtained with the cytoplasmic fraction prepared from the unfertilized egg. In the presence of , both the nucleate and enucleate egg halves exhibit 81% of the activity associated with the unfertilized egg cytoplasmic fraction. The level of Mn2+ cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase activity from the four-cell embryo is approximately 50% that of the unfertilized egg. This decrease does not appear to be due to either a postfertilization alteration in the subcellular localization of poly(A) polymerase or an increase in RNase activity. Supplementation with failed to restore the four-cell embryo cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase potential to a level comparable to that of the unfertilized egg. Suppression of postfertilization protein synthesis by emetine, however, prevents this developmental decline in ATP incorporation thereby suggesting that postfertilization cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase activity is subject to negative translational control. 相似文献

A single peak of DNA polymerase activity from extracts of , obtained by DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose ion-exchange chromatography, was resolved into two peaks differing in KCl concentration necessary to elute them from a DNA-agarose column. Peak I (eluting at 0.2 M KCl) and Peak II (eluting at 0.4 M KCl), differed in response to increasing KCl concentrations, although both functioned optimally with Mg2+ as divalent cation when DNA synthesis was directed either by activated DNA or poly (dC)·(dG)12–18. Due to the potential significance of polyamines in the metabolism of , the effect of exogenous polyamine on rates of DNA synthesis by the peak I and II enzymes was compared with that of murine DNA polymerase alpha. Only the peak I enzyme was significantly stimulated (up to 4-fold) by the biologically active polyamines spermine and spermidine at physiological concentrations. The response of the peak I enzyme resembled that of the alpha polymerase. This result suggests a possible functional difference between peak I and II enzymes, as well as a potential target site for trypanocidal drug development. 相似文献

Three phosphorylated dinucleosides designated HS1, HS2, and HS3, isolated from the water-mould , were shown to significantly inhibit ribonucleotide reductase activity from . All three compounds decreased CDP reduction in fungal extracts by 50% at concentrations of 0.1mM. At the same concentration HS3 also inhibited partially purified CDP reductase from Chinese hamster ovary cells by at least 80% but showed only 10% inhibition with enzyme from . ADP reductase activity from was inhibited 50% by both HS1 and HS3 at 0.1mM. HS2 however, showed no inhibitory effect on purine reduction. The levels of ribonucleotide reductase during the asexual growth cycle of correlated with thymidine uptake into DNA and with the synthesis of HS compounds. 相似文献

DNA-dependent RNA polymerase has been studied in adult mouse liver and mouse blastocysts. The enzyme from mouse liver was resolved into three enzyme forms by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography. Two of the forms, IA and IB, are insensitive to α-amanitin, have low activity ratios, and are optimally active at low ionic strength. Form II is inhibited by α-amanitin, has a higher activity ratio, and is most active at high ionic strength. An optimal reaction temperature of 37 ° C was found for all enzyme forms. All of the isolated enzyme forms are inhibited by the exotoxin from Bacillus thuringiensis and the inhibition can be partially reversed by increased ATP levels. Forms IA and IB are most active with native template while form II prefers denatured DNA.The blastocyst RNA polymerase activity exhibits similar requirements for divalent metal ions and ionic strength to the purified liver enzymes. The maximum inhibition of blastocyst RNA polymerase obtained with α-amanitin and exotoxin differs from that observed for purified liver enzymes but is similar to the inhibition of liver homogenate. However, the concentrations of inhibitor required for maximum inhibition by α-amanitin and exotoxin is different for the blastocyst and liver homogenate enzymes. 相似文献

Using rabbit hemoglobin messenger RNA as template, polymerase I produces poly (dT), poly (dA)·(dT) and antimessenger DNA products. Mild heating of the enzyme causes a differential loss in activity as indicated by three rates of inactivation for the three types of synthesis. Heat inactivation studies have also been carried out with DNA polymerases from oncogenic RNA viruses and mammalian sources using various homopolymer-oligomer pairs as primertemplates. In general, for any given enzyme these synthetic primer-templates reveal different extents of inactivation of the polymerase. These findings may be interpreted to suggest a) that the binding of DNA polymerase to various primer-templates produces conformational changes in the enzyme which are dependent on the type of template bound, or b) that many, if not all, DNA polymerases have different subsites for different templates. 相似文献

Messenger RNA was isolated from rat preputial glands by guanidine HCl extraction, ethanol and salt precipitation, followed by chromatography on oligo(dT) cellulose. Double-stranded cDNA was synthesized from the mRNA and inserted into the Pst 1 site of the plasmid pBR322 by the poly(dG)·poly(dC) tailing and annealing procedure. The hybrid plasmids were used to transform HB101. Recombinant clones were screened for those containing cDNA inserts complementary to β-glucuronidase mRNA by a hybridization-selection procedure. One clone, containing an insert of about 1.2 kilobases, hybridized to preputial gland mRNA which, when translated , gave a product that migrated with the β-glucuronidase subunit on polyacrylamide gels. 相似文献

HinfIII is a type III restriction enzyme (Kauc &; Piekarowicz, 1978) isolated from Haemophilus influenzae Rf. Like other type III restriction endonucleases, the enzyme also catalyses the modification of susceptible DNA. It requires ATP for DNA cleavage and S-adenosyl methionine for DNA methylation. We have determined the DNA sequence recognised by HinfIII to be: In restriction, the enzyme cleaves the DNA about 25 base-pairs to the right of this sequence. In the modification reaction only one of the strands is methylated, that containing the 5′-C-G-A-A-T-3′ sequence. 相似文献

Compound 102804 isolated from has been found to be a potent inhibitor of the N5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine transmethylase isolated from B. This inhibition was noted when 102804 was added to the enzyme reaction mixture after the reaction started or concurrently with the preparation of the mixture. Chemically inactivated 102804 has no activity as an inhibitor of this enzyme system. 相似文献

The and effects of three methylxanthines caffeine, theophylline and theobromine on the activity of the enzyme xanthine oxidase (EC 1.2.3.2.) was investigated with a view to understand their biochemical action. The studies revealed all the three methylxanthines to be inhibitors of the milk xanthine oxidase activity and the inhibition was found to be competitive in nature. The preincubation studies indicated a greater inhibition of the enzyme with the methylxanthines. Excessive amount of the substrate (2.5 × 10?4M) resulted in progressive inhibition of the enzyme activity. Low concentrations of methylxanthines exerted a definite inhibitory effect on the xanthine oxidase activity at lower substrate concentrations. At higher concentrations of the substrate, the inhibitory effect due to the same concentration of methylxanthines did not produce any added inhibition of the enzyme activity to that produced by the substrate alone. However, added inhibition by high concentrations of methylxanthines was detectable even when the enzyme activity was markedly inhibited by higher concentrations of the substrate. The administration of methylxanthines caused a significant inhibition of the xanthine oxidase activity in lungs, kidneys, heart and brain of rats. Consequently, the level of uric acid in the tissues of the drug treated animals was also found to be reduced. 相似文献

synthase activity was demonstrated in the Sephadex G 25 gel filtrated crude extracts of one yeast and 43 bacterial strains belonging to 14 families. The enzyme was inhibited by leucine from all strains Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridia and several phototropic bacteria. The enzyme was inhibited by leucine from all strains investigated. In crude extracts of 17 species (8 genera) the leucine-mediated inhibition could be relieved by the addition of valine or isoleucine , but not by the addition of threonine or alanine. The enzymes from 11 species (7 genera) were inhibited by 1 mM valine and isoleucine, whereas the enzyme activity from 5 bacteria (4genera) were not so affected. These results suggest that valine and isoleucine are specifically involved in the regulation of leucine biosynthesis in several bacteria. The affect of valine and isoleucine on the IPM-synthase activity from mycobacteria and Corynebacterium autotrophicum lends support to the reclassification of Mycobacterium flavum 301 to C. autotrophicum. The antagonism between 5′,5′,5′-trifluoroleucine and amino acids and was synthase in the presence or abssence of leucine and the reversal of the 5′,5′,5′-trifluoroleucine-mediated growth inhibition by these amino acids. 相似文献
