Evidence for direct involvement of T7 RNA polymerase bacteriophage DNA replication.
Experiments in a number of different systems have suggested that the initiation of DNA replication is often dependent upon transcription at the origin of replication. During infection with bacteriophage T7, the T7 genome is transcribed first by the bacterial RNA polymerase and then by a phage-coded enzyme, the product of gene 1. The bacterial enzyme does not appear to be directly involved in th...
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 کاملBacteriophage T7 Deoxyribonucleic acid replication in vitro. A protein of Escherichia coli required for bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase activity.
In vivo, replication of T7 DNA does not occur after infection of Escherchia coli tsnC mutants (CHAMBERLIN, M. (1974) J. Virol. 14, 509-516). In vitro, extracts of tsnC mutant E. coli infected with T7 hage are incapable of replicating duplex T7 DNA, although extracts of wild type E. coli infected with T7 phage support replication of T7 DNA. In addition, extracts of the infected tsnC mutant are d...
متن کاملEvidence for DNA bending at the T7 RNA polymerase promoter.
Phage T7 RNA polymerase is the only DNA-dependent RNA polymerase for which we have a high-resolution structure of the promoter-bound complex. Recent studies with the more complex RNA polymerases have suggested a role for DNA wrapping in the initiation of transcription. Here, circular permutation gel retardation assays provide evidence that the polymerase does indeed bend its promoter DNA. A com...
متن کاملChoreography of bacteriophage T7 DNA replication.
The replication system of phage T7 provides a model for DNA replication. Biochemical, structural, and single-molecule analyses together provide insight into replisome mechanics. A complex of polymerase, a processivity factor, and helicase mediates leading strand synthesis. Establishment of the complex requires an interaction of the C-terminal tail of the helicase with the polymerase. During syn...
