Purification of DNA polymerase II stimulatory factor I, a yeast single-stranded DNA-binding protein.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Incidental to the purification of yeast DNA polymerase II was the observation that various chromatographic fractions contained activities that stimulated synthesis by this polymerase. In this paper we report the purification and initial characterization of one such factor, stimulatory factor I (SFI). SFI, which is associated with an apparent complex of three polypeptides of 66, 37, and 13.5 kDa, binds preferentially to single-stranded DNA, possibly explaining its ability to stimulate DNA polymerase II. Single-stranded DNA-binding activity is associated with the 66-kDa polypeptide.

Purification of a DNA primase activity from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Primase can be separated from DNA polymerase I.
A primase activity which permits DNA synthesis by yeast DNA polymerase I on a single-stranded circular phi X174 or M13 DNA or on poly(dT)n has been extensively purified by fractionation of a yeast enzyme extract which supports in vitro replication of the yeast 2-microns plasmid DNA (Kojo, H., Greenberg, B. D., and Sugino, A. (1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 7261-7265). Most of this DNA ...
متن کاملIdentification and purification of a protein that stimulates the helicase activity of the Escherichia coli Rep protein.
A polypeptide (Mr = 15,000) has been purified from Escherichia coli cell extracts that significantly stimulates the duplex DNA unwinding reaction catalyzed by E. coli Rep protein. The Rep helicase unwinding reaction was stimulated by as much as 20-fold, upon addition of the stimulatory protein, using either a 71-base pair or a 343-base pair partial duplex DNA molecule as a substrate. The purifi...
متن کاملA newly detected class of mammalian single strand-specific DNA-binding proteins. Effects on DNA polymerase alpha-catalyzed DNA synthesis.
Using a rapid purification scheme, we have isolated from calf thymus cells two single strand-specific DNA-binding proteins, with apparent molecular masses of 48 and 61 kDa. These proteins remained undetected in earlier studies on DNA-binding proteins from calf thymus because they are extremely sensitive to proteolytic breakdown occurring during purification. The proteins are immunologically and...
متن کاملA single-stranded DNA binding protein from Drosophila melanogaster: characterization of the heterotrimeric protein and its interaction with single-stranded DNA.
We describe the purification to near homogeneity of a single-stranded DNA binding protein from 0-18-h embryos of Drosophila melanogaster. Drosophila SSB (D-SSB) is a heterotrimer with subunits of molecular weight of 70,000, 30,000, and 8000. It has a Stokes radius of 48.6 +/- 2 A and s20,w = 5.0 +/- 0.2 S. The interaction of D-SSB with ssDNA was examined by the quenching of intrinsic protein fl...
متن کاملChallenges to Design and Develop of DNA Aptamers for Protein Targets. I. Optimization of Asymmetric PCR for Generation of a Single Stranded DNA Library
Aptamers, or single stranded oligonucleotides, are produced by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment, abbreviated as SELEX. In the amplification and regeneration step of SELEX technique, dsDNA is conversed to ssDNA. Asymmetric PCR is one of the methods used for the generation of ssDNA. The purpose of this study was to design a random DNA library for selection of aptamers wit...
