Conditions for using DNA polymerase I as an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase.
Conditions are described for using Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I for synthesizing complementary DNA copies of natural RNA molecules, which are suitable for use in hybridization experiments. The molar ratio of enzyme to template is critical; below a certain level, synthesis is not observed. Hybrids formed with the complementary DNA are of comparable specificity and stability to those formed ...
متن کاملDNA-dependent RNA polymerase from yeast mitochondria.
The DNA-dependent RNA polymerase present in the mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been solubilized using a 0.5 M KCI solution, and the soluble enzyme has been purified. Two forms of mitochondrial enzyme were obtained; they differ in their template specificity and metal-ion dependency. The mitochondrial RNA polymerase also differs from enzyme obtained from the nucleus with respect to ...
متن کاملVirion-Associated DNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase
The phenotypic defects of three temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of vaccinia virus, the ts mutations of which were mapped to the gene for one of the high-molecular-weight subunits of the virion-associated DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, were characterized. Because the virion RNA polymerase is required for the initiation of the viral replication cycle, it has been predicted that this type of mut...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملInitiation and release of RNA by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
During in vitro transcription of T4 DNA by E. coli RNA polymerase, chain initiation stops coincidentally with synthesis at low ionic strength (0.11) with an average of one RNA chain initiated per 24S polymerase molecule. At high ionic strength (0.37), initiation as well as synthesis continues for several hours, with an average of four chains initiated per enzyme molecule in two hours. The RNA p...
