A rapid technique for the estimation of polynucleotide adenylyltransferase and ribonucleic Acid polymerase in plant tissues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nucleic acid-dependent polynucleotide adenylytransferase (EC 2.7.7.19) and ribonucleic acid polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) have been partially purified from maize tissues (Zea mays L.) utilizing ammonium sulfate precipitation and batch diethylaminoethylcellulose chromatography. The technique is applicable to the simultaneous processing of up to eight samples of plant tissue and affords a rapid and reproducible means of assaying these two enzymes from small quantities of kernels or seedlings. The kinetic characteristics of the partially purified enzymes resemble those from more extensively purified preparations.

Reduction in Extractable Deoxyribonucleic Acid Polymerase Activity in Pisum sativum Seedlings by Ethylene.
An extract from the apical portion of etiolated seedlings of Pisum sativum L. was used as a test system to examine the action of ethylene on DNA polymerase activity. The extract catalyzed the polymerization of labeled deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates into a trichloroacetic acid-insoluble product. The system required Mg(2+), nicked DNA, and all four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates for maximum...

A modified electrode was prepared by modification of the carbon paste electrode (CPE) with graphene nano-sheets. The fabricated modified electrode exhibited an electrocatalytic activity toward gallic acid (GA) oxidation because of good conductivity, low electron transfer resistance and catalytic effect. The graphene modified CPE had a lower overvoltage and enhanced electrical current respect to...

Formation of homopolymers of ribonucleotides by polynucleotide phosphorylase is well known (1, 2). In this reaction, a polymerization of ribonucleoside diphosphates occurs with the elimination of inorganic orthophosphate. Reactions involving formation of polyadenylic acid from adenosine triphosphate with elimination of an inorganic pyrophosphate group have been described with enzymes from sever...

Labeled and unlabeled arabinosylcytosine nucleotides were tested for their capacity to serve as substrates for purified polynucleotide phosphorylase, deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid polymerase,...

The incorporation of labeled precursors into ribonucleic acid with cell-free preparations of animal tissues has been observed in a number of laboratories (l-lo). Further studies with partially purified preparations indicate that the proximate precursors are nucleoside trirather than diphosphates (24). These enzyme preparations, unlike deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase (11-13) or polynucleotide p...
