Ribonucleic acid polymerase reactions with methylated polycytidylic acid templates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Partially methylated polycytidylic acids were used as templates in an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase reaction with enzyme isolated from Micrococcus lysodeikticus. The presence of methylated cytidylic acid residues in the template led to the formation of a copolymer of uridylic and guanylic acids. The composition of this product copolymer was dependent on the extent of methylation of the polycytidylic acid template.

Several laboratories have reported on the properties and characteristics of RNA polymerase reactions with synthetic polyribonucleotides as templates (l-3), with general agreement that the synthetic polyribonucleotides are efficient templates for the synthesis of complementary polyribonucleotides. The use of synthetic polyribonucleotides of different base composition and size is of particular va...

The dependence of Micrococcus lysodeikticus RNA polymerase on divalent cations was studied in vitro with the use of synthetic polynucleotides as templates. It was found that the various combinations of manganese or magnesium cofactors with polyuridylic, polycytidylic, and polyadenylic acid templates had characteristic activity profiles for the chain initiation and elongation steps. To distingui...

Formation of homopolymers of ribonucleotides by polynucleotide phosphorylase is well known (1, 2). In this reaction, a polymerization of ribonucleoside diphosphates occurs with the elimination of inorganic orthophosphate. Reactions involving formation of polyadenylic acid from adenosine triphosphate with elimination of an inorganic pyrophosphate group have been described with enzymes from sever...

The effects of partially thiolated polynucleotides on the DNA polymerase alpha from regenerating rat liver were investigated. The enzyme was isolated from the nuclear fraction essentially according to the method of Baril et al.; it was characterized as the alpha polymerase on the basis of its response to synthetic templates and its inhibition with N-ethylmaleimide. Although polycytidylic acid h...

A procedure is described for isolation in a soluble form of a ribonucleic acid polymerase from rat testes. Evidence is presented that this enzyme catalyzes three distinct reactions: (a) deoxyribonucleic acid-directed synthesis of RNA in the presence of all four major ribonucleoside triphosphates; (b) DNA-primed formation of polyadenylic acid and other ribohomopolymers in the presence of single ...
