چکیده

In vivo, replication of T7 DNA does not occur after infection of Escherchia coli tsnC mutants (CHAMBERLIN, M. (1974) J. Virol. 14, 509-516). In vitro, extracts of tsnC mutant E. coli infected with T7 hage are incapable of replicating duplex T7 DNA, although extracts of wild type E. coli infected with T7 phage support replication of T7 DNA. In addition, extracts of the infected tsnC mutant are deficient in T7 DNA polymerase activity. Extracts prepared from uninfected E.coli tsnC-+ cells restore the ability of the infected tsnC extracts to replicate duplex T7 DNA, and also restore normal levels of the phage DNA polymerase activity. A 12,000-dalton heat-stable protein responsible for this complementation has been purified to near homogeneity from uninfected tsnC+ extracts and it is designated "TsnC protein."

Deoxyribonucleic acid repair in vitro by extracts of Escherichia coli.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from bacteriophage T7 has been used to monitor the capacity of gently lysed extracts of Escherichia coli to perform repair resynthesis after ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Purified DNA damaged by up to 100 J of UV radiation per m2 was treated with an endonuclease from Micrococcus luteus that introduces single-strand breaks in irradiated DNA. This DNA was then used as ...

Genetic analysis of the interaction between bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase and Escherichia coli thioredoxin.

Gene 5 protein of bacteriophage T7 is a nonprocessive DNA polymerase. During infection of Escherichia coli, T7 annexes the host protein thioredoxin for use as a processivity factor for T7 DNA polymerase. We describe here a genetic method to investigate the interaction between T7 gene 5 protein and E. coli thioredoxin. The strategy is to use thioredoxin mutants that are unable to support the gro...

Escherichia coli thioredoxin confers processivity on the DNA polymerase activity of the gene 5 protein of bacteriophage T7.

Bacteriophage T7 gene 5 protein has been purified to apparent homogeneity from cells overexpressing its gene several hundred-fold. Gene 5 protein is a DNA polymerase with low processivity; it dissociates from the primer-template after catalyzing the incorporation of 1-50 nucleotides, depending on the salt concentration. Escherichia coli thioredoxin, a host protein that is tightly associated wit...

Interactions of gene 2.5 protein and DNA polymerase of bacteriophage T7.

Bacteriophage T7 gene 2.5 protein has been shown to interact with T7 DNA polymerase (the complex of T7 gene 5 protein and Escherichia coli thioredoxin) by affinity chromatography and fluorescence emission anisotropy. T7 DNA polymerase binds specifically to a resin coupled to gene 2.5 protein and elutes from the resin when the ionic strength of the buffer is raised to 250 mM NaCl. In contrast, T...
