  • Beschreibung: The activities of two DNA polymerases (DNA nucleotidyltransferases) were characterized in mouse neuroblastoma clone N-18 on the basis of their apparent molecular weights (determined by sucrose density gradient centrifugation: polymerase-α , 7.5-8 S; polymerase-β , 3-4 S) and relative inhibition by sulfydryl-blocking agents. N-Ethylmaleimide (10 mM) and iodoacetamide (1.5 mM) inhibited DNA polymerase-α activity completely, whereas only 35-40% inhibition was observed for DNA polymerase-β under similar conditions. DNA polymerase-α activity was reduced 50-70% in N-18 cells that had been induced to differentiate by 4 μ M bromodeoxyuridine, and the low molecular weight DNA polymerase-β activity remain unchanged. With activated calf thymus DNA as template, only DNA polymerase-α activity was stimulated in the presence of added ribonucleotides and purified Escherichia coli RNA polymerase.
