Stimulation of Rauscher leukemia virus DNA polymerase DNA-directed DNA synthesis by cationic trypanocides and polyamines.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Activated DNA-directed DNA synthesis catalyzed by Rauscher leukemia virus (RLV) and other type C mammalian retroviral DNA polymerases is uniquely stimulated by biologically active polyamines. Cationic trypanocides may act as antagonists of polyamine function. As described here, several cationic trypanocides stimulate RLV polymerase-catalyzed DNA-directed DNA synthesis at concentrations significantly inhibiting eukaryotic DNA polymerases. Such stimulation is negated by polyamines. Kinetic analysis of the stimulation of RLV DNA polymerase by three structurally dissimilar cationic trypanocides (Antrycide, Burroughs-Wellcome Compound 64A, and Bayer Compound 1694) suggests that such stimulation is, in part, due to a drug:DNA structural interaction resembling the polyamine:DNA structural complex recognized by the RLV DNA polymerase.

متن کاملPurification and properties of Rauscher leukemia virus DNA polymerase and selective inhibition of mammalian viral reverse transcriptase by inorganic phosphate.
Rauscher leukemia virus RNA-directed DNA polymerase has been purified to near homogeneity (greater than 90% pure) using affinity chromatography on polycytidylate-agarose with over 85% recovery of input enzymatic activity. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 70,000 and appears to consist of a single polypeptide chain. The enzyme is free of DNase, but has RNase H activity....

The integrated proviral genome of Rauscher murine leukemia virus was molecularly cloned in a bacteriophage Charon 4A vector after the proviral sequences were enriched by sequential RPC-5 column chromatography and sucrose gradient centrifugation. A recombinant DNA clone, lambda-RV-1, possessing a 12-kilobase-pair EcoRI insert, was shown to contain the entire 8.8-kilobase-pair leukemia virus geno...
متن کاملA novel DNA polymerase activity found in association with intracisternal A-type particles.
A DNA polymerase activity that promotes the synthesis of poly(dT) has been found in association with intracisternal A-type particles isolated from several mouse tumors. The poly(dT) synthesis activity requires a DNA or RNA primer, is optimal at high salt concentration, prefers magnesium over manganese, and is stimulated by poly(rA). No significant incorporation of dAMP, dGMP, or dCMP was detect...
