Deoxyribonucleic Acid polymerase from wheat embryos.

چکیده
A soluble DNA-dependent DNA polymerase was extracted from wheat embryos. In vitro, the incorporation of radioactive thymidine triphosphate into acid-insoluble material is dependent upon the presence of the enzyme, all four deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, Mg(2+), and a DNA template. Incorporation occurs on native, alkali-denatured, and strictly double-stranded DNA. The in vitro synthesized product is a polydeoxynucleotide with a chain length shorter than the template; it has the same buoyant density as wheat embryo DNA when this DNA is used as template; and it forms a double-stranded complex with the DNA template. These data suggest that the in vitro DNA synthesis catalyzed by proteins extracted from wheat embryos occurs in a semiconservative way.

Onset of deoxyribonucleic Acid synthesis in germinating wheat embryos.
Germinating wheat embryos (Triticum vulgare var. Florence) synthesize proteins before the onset of DNA synthesis. The onset of DNA replication occurs at about 15 hours of germination and was shown to depend on proteins synthesized before 9 hours of germination with the use of blasticidin S, a specific inhibitor of protein synthesis. A 10-fold increase in the activity of DNA-dependent DNA polyme...
متن کاملDe Novo Biosynthesis of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Polymerase during Wheat Embryo Germination.
An 8-fold enhancement in the activity of a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase was found in extracts from germinating wheat (Triticum vulgare var. Florence) embryos, as compared to the activity found in extracts from ungerminated embryos. The enhancement of this activity during the first hours of germination is concomitant to the increase of a Dnase activity. The two activities could be separated and ...
متن کاملMultiple Deoxyribonucleic Acid Polymerases from Quiescent Wheat
Three DNA polymerases (A, B and C) have been purified from the soluble cytoplasm of ungerminated wheat embryos. Mainly on the basis of chromatographic, template-specificity and salt-inhibition evidence, we have characterized the three enzymes. Other physicochemical and enzymic properties are described. From purified mitochondria we have purified a DNA polymerase that behaves like DNA polymerase...
متن کاملPurification and properties of deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase from nuclei of sea urchin embryos.
Deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase has been purified from nuclei of rapidly dividing sea urchin embryos, Strongylocentrofus franciscanus and Strongytocentrofus purpuratus. No gross differences between the enzymes from the two species were observed. The DNA polymerases are heatlabile and are stabilized in the presence of polyglycols. This enhanced stabilization was exploited throughout the purific...

One of the ways of haploid production is a cross between wheat and maize. Recently success has been achieved in this method, leading to the production of zygotes; these zygotes generally undergo elimination of maize chromosomes and thus lead to production of wheat haploid plant. The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient method of haploid production via maize pollination in short dur...
