Lesion Bypass Activities of Human DNA Polymerase
DNA polymerase (Pol ) is a newly discovered member of the polymerase X family with unknown cellular function. The understanding of Pol function should be facilitated by an understanding of its biochemical activities. By using purified human Pol for biochemical analyses, we discovered the lesion bypass activities of this polymerase in response to several types of DNA damage. When it encountered ...
متن کاملStimulation of human neuroblastoma DNA polymerase alpha and primase activities by a protein factor isolated from rat liver chromatin.
Nuclear protein factor type 1 (NPF-1) that simulates IMR-32 primase-associated DNA polymerase alpha 1 and alpha 2 activities has been purified from a high-salt extract of liver chromatin from 6-month-old rats. The final purified factor lacks DNA polymerase alpha, RNA polymerase, and DNA-unwinding or topoisomerase type I activities. The stimulatory activity is destroyed by trypsin (60 min at 37 ...
متن کاملInsights into animal and plant lectins with antimicrobial activities.
Lectins are multivalent proteins with the ability to recognize and bind diverse carbohydrate structures. The glyco -binding and diverse molecular structures observed in these protein classes make them a large and heterogeneous group with a wide range of biological activities in microorganisms, animals and plants. Lectins from plants and animals are commonly used in direct defense against pathog...
متن کاملHuman cytomegalovirus-associated DNA polymerase and protein kinase activities.
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), purified exclusively from the extracellular media, contained a DNA polymerase activity in addition to a protein kinase activity. The DNA polymerase expressed its maximum activity in the presence of 5 to 10 mM-MgCl2. The enzyme was able to use effectively activated calf thymus DNA, poly(dA).oligo(dT)12--18 and poly(dC).oligo(dG)12--18 as the template primers. The DN...
متن کاملSPECIFIC AMPLIFICATION OF ASPERGILLUS FUMlGATUS DNA BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...
