Altered specificity of transfer-ribonucleic acid nucleotidyltransferase in the presence of manganese.

چکیده
1. s-RNA nucleotidyltransferase incorporated CMP into phosphodiesterase-treated s-RNA more rapidly in the presence of Mg(2+) (10mm) than in the presence of Mn(2+) (2mm). UMP was incorporated more rapidly in the presence of Mn(2+), and at high ionic strength the incorporation of CMP was also more rapid in the presence of Mn(2+). 2. The capacity of phosphodiesterase-treated s-RNA for CMP, UMP and AMP was increased in the presence of Mn(2+). Terminal sequences of more than one UMP or AMP residue were synthesized, but these atypical reactions were inhibited when CTP was added. CMP was incorporated rapidly to form -pCpC terminal sequences and then more slowly as longer chains were formed, but very little CMP was incorporated into s-RNA-pCpCpA. 3. CMP was incorporated into phosphodiesterase-treated 5s RNA and ribosomal RNA to form short chains of polyC attached to the primer RNA. This reaction was inhibited by the presence of s-RNA. 4. A small Mn(2+)-dependent incorporation of CMP was also primed by poly(A).(U) and poly(C).(I).

متن کاملPreparation of cells permeable to macromolecules by treatment with toluene: studies of transfer ribonucleic acid nucleotidyltransferase.
Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) nucleotidyltransferase was studied after making cells permeable to macromolecules by treatment with toluene. The conditions of toluene treatment necessary for obtaining maximal activity were defined. Toluene treatment was most efficient when carried out for 5 min at 37 C at pH 9.0 on log-phase cells. No activity could be detected if cells were treated at 0 C, or...
متن کاملPolyamine stimulation and cation requirements of rabbit liver tRNA nucleotidyltransferase.
We have examined the cation requirements of rabbit liver tRNA nucleotidyltransferase. The enzyme had an absolute requirement fo a divalent cation which could be satisfied by Mg2+, Mn2+ or Co2+. In contrast to the Escherichia coli enzyme, we have found no evidence to implicate Zn2+ in the action of rabbit liver tRNA nucleotidyltransferase. We have also identified a second cation requirement whic...

Abstract: In this paper, kinetics of reductive leaching of manganese dioxide ore by ferrous ion in sulfuric acid media has been examined. Experimental results show that increasing temperature from 20 to 60 °C and decreasing ore particle size from −16+20 to −60+100 mesh considerably enhance both the dissolution rate and efficiency. Molar ratios of Fe2+/MnO2 and H2SO4/MnO2 in excess to the st...
