The highly processive DNA polymerase of bacteriophage T5. Role of the unique N and C termini.
The DNA polymerase encoded by bacteriophage T5 has been reported previously to be processive and to catalyze extensive strand displacement synthesis. The enzyme, purified from phage-infected cells, did not require accessory proteins for these activities. Although T5 DNA polymerase shares extensive sequence homology with Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I and T7 DNA polymerase, it contains unique...
متن کاملKinetics of Nucleotide Incorporation Opposite DNA Bulky Guanine N Adducts by Processive Bacteriophage T7 DNA Polymerase
Six oligonucleotides with carcinogen derivatives bound at the N2 atom of deoxyguanosine were prepared, including adducts derived from butadiene, acrolein, crotonaldehyde, and styrene, and examined for effects on the replicative enzymes bacteriophage DNA polymerase T7 (T7 ) and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase for comparison with previous work on smaller DNA adducts. All of these adducts strongly blo...
متن کاملInteraction of a DNA-binding protein, the product of gene D5 of bacteriophage T5, with double-stranded DNA: effects on T5 DNA polymerase functions in vitro.
The gene D5 product (gpD5) of bacteriophage T5 is a DNA-binding protein that binds preferentially to double-stranded DNA and is essential for T5 DNA replication, yet it inhibits DNA synthesis in vitro. Mechanisms of inhibition were studied by using nicked DNA and primed single-stranded DNA as a primer-template. Inhibition of T5 DNA polymerase activity by gpD5 occurred when double-stranded regio...
متن کاملRole of the T5 gene D15 nuclease in the generation of nicked bacteriophage T5 DNA.
The processing of newly replicated concatameric T5 DNA into both single stranded DNA changed of unit length and single-stranded fragments of sizes comparable to those found in mature T5 virion DNA occurs in the absence of late T5 protein synthesis. The formation of unit-length, single-stranded DNA chains does not require the early T5 gene D15 nuclease: however, the subsequent formation of the s...
متن کاملProofreading dynamics of a processive DNA polymerase.
Replicative DNA polymerases present an intrinsic proofreading activity during which the DNA primer chain is transferred between the polymerization and exonuclease sites of the protein. The dynamics of this primer transfer reaction during active polymerization remain poorly understood. Here we describe a single-molecule mechanical method to investigate the conformational dynamics of the intramol...
