Abstract: | DNA-dependent DNA polymerases were partially purified from nuclei of cells from the occipital lobe of human brain. The purification procedure included successive DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose column chromatography, gel filtration and sucrose density gradient centrifugation steps. Four enzymes corresponding to DNA polymerases-α, β, γ, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase were found. Brain DNA polymerases could be differentiated from one another by size, template preferences and sensitivity to sulfhydryl blocking agents. |
