Regulation of DNA polymerase exonucleolytic proofreading activity: studies of bacteriophage T4 "antimutator" DNA polymerases.
DNA polymerases replicate DNA with high fidelity lab, which demonstrated that single point mutations in the T4 DNA polymerase gene can increase or decrease because of accurate nucleotide incorporation coupled with exonucleolytic proofreading to remove misinmutation rates by 100-fold or more (Drake et al. 1969). Mutational analysis is a powerful method to probe corporated nucleotides. This state...
متن کاملBacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase – sequenase
An ideal DNA polymerase for chain-terminating DNA sequencing should possess the following features: (1) incorporate dideoxy- and other modified nucleotides at an efficiency similar to that of the cognate deoxynucleotides; (2) high processivity; (3) high fidelity in the absence of proofreading/exonuclease activity; and (4) production of clear and uniform signals for detection. The DNA polymerase...
متن کاملCharacterization of a DNA binding protein of bacteriophage PRD1 involved in DNA replication.
Escherichia coli phage PRD1 protein P12, involved in PRD1 DNA replication in vivo, has been highly purified from E. coli cells harbouring a gene XII-containing plasmid. Protein P12 binds to single-stranded DNA as shown by gel retardation assays and nuclease protection experiments. Binding of protein P12 to single-stranded DNA increases about 14% the contour length of the DNA as revealed by elec...
متن کاملIn vitro replication of bacteriophage PRD1 DNA. Metal activation of protein-primed initiation and DNA elongation.
Bacteriophage PRD1 replicates its DNA by means of a protein-primed replication mechanism. Compared to Mg2+, the use of Mn2+ as the metal activator of the phage DNA polymerase results in a great stimulation of the initiation reaction. The molecular basis of the observed stimulatory effect is an increase in the velocity of the reaction. The phage DNA polymerase is also able to catalyze the format...
متن کاملDNA sequence analysis with a modified bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase.
A chemically modified phage T7 DNA polymerase has three properties that make it ideal for DNA sequencing by the chain-termination method. The enzyme is highly processive, catalyzing the polymerization of thousands of nucleotides without dissociating. By virtue of the modification the 3' to 5' exonuclease activity is eliminated. The modified polymerase efficiently uses nucleotide analogs that in...
