The modification of tyrosine residues of DNA polymerase I Klenow fragment from E. coli by acetylimidazole has been investigated. This reagent was shown to inactivate both polymerization and 3',5'-exonuclease activities but with different velocity. The poly(dT)-template and r(pA)10-primer each added separately to the enzyme have no notable influence on the rate of enzyme inactivation. Simultaneous presence of both template and primer increases the rate of inactivation. In the presence of poly(dT).r(pA) 10 there is not effect of dCTP and dTTP (noncomplementary to the template) on the rate of inactivation of polymerization activity. However, dATP complementary to the template, provides a complete protection. A weak protective action is detected in the presence of dADP. Orthophosphate, pyrophosphate and dAMP each taken separately increase the rate and the level of the enzyme inactivation. dAMP together with either ortho- or pyrophosphate have the same protective action as ATP. All data obtained allow to suggest the functional significance for polymerization activity of tyrosine located in the dNTP binding site of DNA polymerase I.

D007093 Imidazoles Compounds containing 1,3-diazole, a five membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms separated by one of the carbons. Chemically reduced ones include IMIDAZOLINES and IMIDAZOLIDINES. Distinguish from 1,2-diazole (PYRAZOLES).
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D004256 DNA Polymerase I A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in prokaryotes and may be present in higher organisms. It has both 3'-5' and 5'-3' exonuclease activity, but cannot use native double-stranded DNA as template-primer. It is not inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents and is active in both DNA synthesis and repair.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
