Storage of the dimeric (alphabeta) form of avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) DNA polymerase in glycerol resulted in the release of the smaller alpha subunit, as detected by glycerol gradient sedimentation. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of enzyme stored in glycerol showed the concomitant appearance of several polypeptides and a lowering in the level of both beta and alpha components. This reduction appears to be the result of cleavages introduced by traces of hydrolytic activity present in glycerol samples. An enhancement of alpha subunit released, as detected by activity profile, was also achieved upon direct but limited exposure of purified avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase to carboxymethyl-cellulose-bound trypsin matrix. Electrophoretic analysis of digested enzyme revealed a progressive fragmentation, with simultaneous increase in the alpha subunit and decrease in the beta subunit. 相似文献

A 32,000-dalton protein (p32) located in avian retrovirus cores was immunoprecipitated from [35S]methionine-labeled avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) propagated in cultured chicken embryo fibroblast cells by an antiserum preparation (sarc III) derived from tumor-bearing hamsters injected with cloned and passaged cells from an avian sarcoma virus-induced primary hamster tumor. Since sarc III serum apparently contained antibodies only to virus-coded proteins and not to chicken cellular proteins, the immunoprecipitation of p32 from AMV by sarc III serum strongly suggested that p32 is virus coded. The origin of p32 was more definitively established by demonstrating the existence of a structural relationship between p32 and the AMV DNA polymerase. AMV p32 cross-reacted with the beta polypeptide of AMV alphabeta DNA polymerase in radioimmunoprecipitation and radioimmunoprecipitation inhibition assays, indicating that p32 and beta share common antigenic determinants. This relationship was clarified by sodium do-decyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of the peptides generated by limited proteolysis of 125I-labeled AMV DNA polymerase polypeptides and of 125I-labeled AMV p32 by chymotrypsin or Staphylococcus aureus V-8 protease. The peptides which appeared during proteolytic digestion of p32 were a subset of those produced by digestion of the beta polypeptide; however, p32 had no discernible peptides in common with the alpha polypeptide. Further, all of the peptides produced by limited proteolysis of beta were present in the digests of either p32 or alpha. Our findings suggest that p32 is apparently derived by cleavage of the beta polypeptide of AMV DNA polymerase, presumably at a site near or identical to that at which alpha is generated from beta by proteolytic cleavage. 相似文献

A new method for the analysis and purification of the RNA-directed DNA polymerase of RNA tumor viruses has been developed. This nucleic acid affinity chromatography system utilizes an immobilized oligo (dT) moiety annealed with poly (A). The alpha and alphabeta DNA polymerases of avain myeloblastosis virus bound effectively to poly (A) oligo (dT)-cellulose. Alpha DNA polymerase did not bind effectively to poly (A) oligo (dT)-cellulose, poly (A)-cellulose, or to cellulose. Alphabeta bound to oligo (dT)-cellulose and cellulose at the same extent (approximately 30%), indicating that this enzyme did not bind specifically to the oligo (DT) moiety only. However, alphabeta bound to poly (A)-cellulose two to three times better than to cellulose itself, showing that alphabeta could bind to poly (A) without a primer. Alphabeta DNA polymerase also bound to poly (C)-cellulose, whereas alpha did not. These data show that the alpha DNA polymerase is defective in binding to nucleic acids if the beta subunit is not present. Data is presented which demonstrates that the alphabeta DNA polymerase bound tighter to poly (A). oligo (DT)-cellulose and to calf thymus DNA-cellulose than the alpha DNA polymerase, suggesting that the beta subunit or, at least part of it is responsible for this tighter binding. In addition, alphabeta DNA polymerase is able to reversibly transcribe avian myeloblastosis virus 70S RNA approximately fivefold faster than alpha DNA polymerase in the presence of Mg2+ and equally efficient in the presence of Mn2+. alpha DNA polymerase transcribed 9S globin m RNA slightly better than alphabeta with either metal ion. 相似文献

Endonuclease activity of purified RNA-directed DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus. 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
Highly purified preparations of RNA-directed DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) contain a Mn2+-activated endonuclease activity capable of nicking supercoiled DNA. This endonuclease activity co-sediments in glycerol gradients with the alphabeta form of AMV DNA polymerase, and co-chromatographs with DNA polymerase activity on DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, and heparin-Sepharose. It is also present in AMV alphabeta-DNA polymerase purified by electrophoresis through nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels and subsequently chromatographed on poly(C)-agarose. alphabeta-associated endonuclease is co-immunoprecipitated with DNA polymerase activity by antiserum directed against alphabeta holoenzyme. The alpha form of AMV DNA polymerase lacks this activity. In its enzymatic properties, alphabeta-associated endonuclease resembles the endodeoxyribonuclease activity associated with the AMV p32 protein, which has been shown to be structurally related to the beta (but not the alpha) subunit of AMV DNA polymerase. 相似文献

The alpha beta DNA polymerase of avian myeloblastosis virus was treated with dimethyl sulfoxide to dissociate the enzyme subunits. The dimethyl sulfoxide treated enzymes were passed over phosphocellulose to purify and characterize the dissociated subunits as well as to remove the dimethyl sulfoxide. RNA-directed DNA polymerase, RNase H, and nucleic acid-binding activity were monitored, as well as the subunit structure (on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels) of the various enzyme species obtained. With 30% dimethyl sulfoxide, the majority of DNA polymerase and RNase H activities as well as the alpha subunit were displaced from the alpha beta DNA polymerase position on phosphocellulose (0.23 M potassium phosphate) to the alpha DNA polymerase position (0.1 M). The association of DNA polymerase and RNase H activities with the alpha subunit suggests that alpha is the enzymatically active subunit in alpha beta. In addition to alpha DNA polymerase, a minor polymerase species eluted from phosphocellulose at 0.4 M potassium phosphate. The dissociated beta subunit eluted from phosphocellulose at a wide range of salt concentrations (0.28 to 0.5 M potassium phosphate). The dissociated beta subunit bound 3H-labeled murine leukemia virus RNA and [3H]poly(dT)-poly(dA) approximately 20-fold more avidly than alpha DNA polymerase alone. In contrast to the results with the alpha subunit, there was no correlation between DNA polymerase and RNase H activity profiles and the elution profile of the beta subunit from phosphocellulose. These observations suggest the beta subunit is either enzymatically inactive or possesses limited DNA polymerase and RNase H activity when compared with the alpha subunit. 相似文献

Partial chymotryptic digestion of purified avian myeloblastosis virus alpha beta DNA polymerase resulted in the activation of a Mg2+-dependent DNA endonuclease activity. Incubation of the polymerase-protease mixture in the presence of super-coiled DNA and Mg2+ permitted detection of the cleaved polymerase fragment possessing DNA nicking activity. Protease digestion conditions were established permitting selective cleavage of beta to alpha, which contained DNA polymerase and RNase H activity and to a family of polypeptides ranging in size from 30,000 to 34,000 daltons. These latter beta-unique fragments were purified by polyuridylate-Sepharose 4B chromatography and were shown to contain both DNA binding and DNA endonuclease activities. We have demonstrated that this group of polymerase fragments derived by chymotryptic digestion of alpha beta DNA polymerase is similar to the in vivo-isolated avian myeloblastosis virus p32pol in size, sequence, and DNA endonuclease activity. 相似文献

RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of avian sarcoma virus B77. I. Isolation and partial characterization of the alpha, beta2, and alphabeta forms of the enzyme. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Three forms of the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase were isolated from highly purified avian sarcoma virus B77 grown in duck embryo fibroblasts, using sequential chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, and poly(U)-cellulose. One form, which sedimented with about 5.2 S, contained only one species of polypeptide, with a molecular weight of 63,000; a second sedimented with about 7.8 S and contained only one species of polypeptide with a molecular weight of 81,000; and a third form, which sedimented with about 7.3 S, contained two species of polypeptides with molecular weights of 63,000 and 81,000. The molecular constitution of the three enzyme forms were therefore alpha, beta2, and alphabeta. All three possessed almost the same specific activity with poly(rA)-oligo(dT) as the primer-template. Forms alpha and alphabeta of avian sarcoma virus DNA polymerase have already been described in the literature; form beta2 is a new form. All three forms possessed ribonuclease H activity, the relative specific activities of the alpha, beta2, and alphabeta forms being about 1:4:5. All three enzyme forms were inhibited by antiserum to the alphabeta form, but whereas the alpha and alphabeta forms could be inhibited about 95%, the maximum degree of inhibition of the beta2 form was about 80%. The three enzyme forms also differed with respect to heat stability at 46 degrees, the monomeric alpha form of the enzyme being only about one-half as stable as the two dimeric forms. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

125I-labeled DNA polymerases of avian myeloblastosis virus and spleen necrosis virus were used in a radioimmunological characterization of avian retrovirus DNA polymerases. It was shown that avian leukosis virus and reticuloendotheliosis virus DNA polymerases do not cross-react in radioimmunoassays. Within the avian leukosis virus species, species-specific and type-specific antigenic determinants of the DNA polymerase were defined. The previous finding of genus-specific antigenic determinants in avian myeloblastosis virus and Amherst pheasant virus DNA polymerases was confirmed and extended to members of all subgroups of avian leukosis virus. It was shown that there is little immunological variation between the DNA polymerases of the four members of the reticuloendotheliosis virus species. Particles with RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity from the allantoic fluid of normal chicken eggs and from the medium of a goose cell culture did not compete for the antibodies directed against any of the sets of antigenic determinants defined in this study. 相似文献

Depurination-induced infidelity of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis with purified deoxyribonucleic acid replication proteins in vitro 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Removal of purine bases from phi X174 single-stranded DNA leads to increased reversion frequency of amber mutations when this DNA is copied in vitro with purified DNA polymerases. This depurination-induced mutagenesis is observed at three different genetic loci and with several different purified enzymes, including Escherichia coli DNA polymerases I and III, avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase, and eukaryotic DNA polymerases alpha, beta, and gamma. The extent of mutagenesis correlates with the estimated frequency of bypass of the lesion and is greatest with inherently inaccurate DNA polymerases which lack proofreading capacity. With E. coli DNA polymerase I, conditions which diminish proofreading result in a 3-5-fold increase in depurination-induced mutagenesis, suggesting a role for proofreading in determining the frequency of bypass of apurinic sites. The addition of E. coli single-stranded DNA-binding protein to polymerase I catalyzed reactions with depurinated DNA had no effect on the extent of mutagenesis. Analysis of wild-type revertants produced during in vitro DNA synthesis by polymerase I or avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase on depurinated phi X174 amber 3 DNA indicates a preference for insertion of dAMP opposite the putative apurinic site at position 587. These results are discussed in relation both to the mutagenic potential of apurinic sites in higher organisms and to studies on error-prone DNA synthesis. 相似文献
