Comparison of endogenous and exogenous RNA primers of poly(U) polymerase in rat hepatic ribosomes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work indicates that RNA primer requirements for poly(U) polymerase in the free ribosomes of the rat liver depend upon the degree of enzyme purification. The poly(U) polymerase activity obtained from a crude free ribosomal preparation was compared with the enzymic activity of a partially purified enzyme. After preliminary purification, the enzyme was fractionated by chromatography on Sephadex G-150 and CM-cellulose. Our results demonstrate the presence of several forms of poly(U) polymerase activities, some requiring exogenous RNA and others possessing their own endogenous primer RNA.

DNA polymerase of reticuloendotheliosis virus: inability to detect endogenous RNA-directed DNA synthesis.
Purified preparations of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) appear to lack the endogenous RNase-sensitive DNA polymerase activity present in most, if not all, avian RNA tumor viruses. Although no endogenous RNA-directed DNA polymerase could be detected in REV, we have been able to demonstrate the presence of a virion-associated DNA polymerase by employing exogenous synthetic homopolymers as temp...
متن کاملPoliovirus-specific primer-dependent RNA polymerase able to copy poly(A).
A template-dependent RNA polymerase has been isolated from poliovirus-infected cells by assaying for the ability of the enzyme to copy poly(A) complexed to an oligo(U) primer. The polymerase was solubilized with detergent, and RNA was removed by precipitation with 2 M LiCl. The solubilized polymerase required both poly(A) and oligo(U) for activity and was stimulated by Mg2+ but was inhibited by...
متن کاملPoliovirus polyuridylic acid polymerase and RNA replicase have the same viral polypeptide.
A poliovirus-specific polyuridylic acid [poly(U)] polymerase that copies a polyadenylic acid template complexed to an oligouridylic acid primer was isolated from the membrane fraction of infected HeLa cells and was found to sediment at 4 to 5S on a linear 5 to 20% glycerol gradient. When the poly(U) polymerase was isolated from cells labeled with [(35)S]methionine and was analyzed by glycerol g...
متن کاملRibonucleic Acid-dependent Ribonucleotide Incorporation. Ii. Inhibition of Polyriboadenylate Polymerase Activity following Bacteriophage Infection.
Synthesis of polyriboadenylate is accompanied by the concomitant release of inorganic pyrophosphate. Under appropriate conditions, poly Al is formed in excess of RNA added to the reaction mixture. The dependence of the reaction on RNA is shown (a) by complete loss of poly A synthesis in the presence of pancreatic RNase, although the reaction product is highly resistant to this RNase, and (b) by...
متن کاملFormation of a mammalian initiation complex with reovirus messenger RNA, methionyl-tRNA F , and ribosomal subunits.
Previous data demonstrated that reovirus mRNA, synthesized in vitro with the particulate RNA transcriptase of reovirus cores, efficiently directs the synthesis of polypeptides in vitro. The present studies indicate that all of the three size classes of reovirus mRNA produced in vitro can form protein initiation complexes with rat liver [(36)S]Met-tRNA(F) and incubated 40S and 60S ribosomal subu...
